Good news folks, the Labor Department says we added 1 million new jobs in manufacturing...
Unfortunately, they were added in the "manufactured emergencies to get austerity through" sector.

Hey, maybe seniors can get a job working the line?

1. Don't worry,
the future is bright. Free prison labor is the Newest Deal and a growing market! Profits will soar.

As for us seniors, well at least there is no Gerihad as of yet.

3. No, that's a service sector job.
People who put the burger on the bun, with all the fixins, now those are manufacturing jobs.

5. In Indiana Honda, GM and Cummins Are Hiring in July
I hope these are not isolated cases. These July hirings should help to improve the next job report numbers.
