Industries from construction to autos to oil and gas are increasing jobs as growth accelerates after a harsh winter stunted business. Help-wanted signs at concrete company Kent Cos. is one indication of a hiring rebound that could create more than 2.56 million jobs, the most since 1999, if the pace is sustained. Warren Buffetts BNSF Railway plans to grow by 2,100 positions in 2014. SolarCity is adding 400 people a month at the rooftop power-system installer backed by Elon Musk.

(5,364 posts)Insofar as she makes an ass of herself EVERY time she opens her mouth, and the fact she's afflicted with the Dunning-Kruger effect, we'll have comedy fodder as long as she has lungs and vocal chords.

(10,893 posts)but not exactly "excellently", thanks to the GOP. If it weren't for their obstruction, this country would have even more people put to work, the rich would get taxed at the rate that they should, and we'd be right there with the rest of the 1st world when it comes to health care.
