Economic Report: Poll Shows Most Workers Not Worried About Jobs

http://www.laborradio.org/node/9242

Even with an economic downturn, a new study from Harris Interactive suggests most employees have confidence that they will keep their current job, while 49 percent believe if they lose it they are confident in their ability to find a new one. 76 percent of workers say it is unlikely they will lose their job, while 33 percent plan to look for a new job in the next 12 months.

2. 76 percent of workers say it is unlikely they will lose their job
What a coincidence.

Thats the same percentage that still think their home's valuation has increased during the last year.

Is there really that many Americans completely out of touch with how bad things are economically?

6. I BELIEVE ALL PUBLISHED POLLS ARE A PACK OF LIES!!!!!
I don't believe any of them. I think they are all manipulated to try and control the mind(lessness?) of the general American public.

Worthless. Don't believe any poll numbers put out in the "mainstream media". Lies . . .
