Sounds like employment is a zero sum game.
Its all about getting your McNuggets. Not about making em. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TywqT6OeVaQ
That's fucked up. She is a good example of why we cn't have nice things in this country.
She voted for Obama.....twice.....and that was before the polls even opened.
and will be voting for HRH Hillary
Memo from the President's desk: "Please change the job classification of waiters to 'transport manufacturing' and of bartenders to 'chemical engineers.'
Being a young man, I have never MET ANYONE who works or worked in a factory.
How fucked is that?
If you think about this, for even a few seconds, your bullshit meter goes off scale.
Jobs off-shoring is a bi-partisan, treasoness act.
Sounds like made up, make believe numbers. Well at least "we're" fabricating something in the country.
Million Dinar Bonus
This is just as planned and no one saw it coming? Balderdash. Eat drink and be merry, doesn’t happen on the manufacturing floor. Entrepreneurialism happens on the back of a napkin (get it restaurant/bar) not on shop towel. Any creative society has intelligent leisure time to contemplate the next steps of growth and diversity. Why just look to China’s latest stock movements. You people need to limber up and get out there and spend this 4th of July, and show the world just how the recovery is taking hold.
MDB-sort of
"USA manufacturers". LOL.
Drone manufacturing and delivery is exploding.
I hear there is a LOT of new work in .gov internet comment-board monitoring. I figure I'll sign up to monitor ZH commenters. Might as well get paid to do what I love!
drone circuit boards n such.
starting to sound like cold war era Russia around here.....hoist the vodka comrade
Yep, and we even have Pravda on several channels telling how wonderful things actually are. I can hardly wait for the bread lines to start forming.....
They started years ago in the form of EBT cards, SNAP, etc.
When they are standing in line for hours like in Venezuela then I'll agree, but the free shit army will riot the second they fail to achieve instant gratification......
I'll drink to that.
Its after sunup somewhere.
so Americans have stoped making and started eating and drinking.
Wait till we start eating each other.
#Longpig
Range fed Vegans should be a good option
Sounds like our bar stool manufacturers are doing great....and I am for sure drinking more than in 2007
Bartenders manufacture drinks. They will be switched to the other side of the chart by the Ministry of Truth.
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”Hey, watering down a drink is real EVA (economic value added). Add a titty-jiggle and a smile, and for many, instant JIMP.

Ahhh, the "new economy"...
"Tonight, after a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999." B. Hussien Obama, SOTU Address Jan 2015.

Believe it or not this is what some call progress.
This is progress, but they don't say in which direction.....
They are also highly educated waiters and bartenders.
If you consider Art History majors highly educated.
The new WalMart,McDonald's economy,great paying jobs and an excellent future.
I made $504K in 2008. I made $16K in 2014
Even if you average that out you're still in the 1%.
Did you at least get to enjoy some of that "Earned Income Tax" refund action?
This is good, I was always told growing up that if you don't want to work in a factory I had to go to college, so I did. Now I have a great job working with people, serving them drinks...it really worked out for me!
And where are those people working, in factories?
Down @ my bar, we accept EBT, even for 'services' with our broads. Come check our .38 specials while you get your drink on and your rocks off!
I wake up every morning with a "bloody mary".. I meant I make and serve a "bloody mary"...
Res ipsa loquitur.
Hipsters are celebrating everywhere.
Millenials, go wipe your asses with your $ 60,000 debt, Sheepskin; and vote for da crooks: Sheeple;
buy more on line; and cut the tips to 5%; STARVE THE GOVT AND LIBTARDS OUT.
62% Participation? push it to 75%...dont spend save...
I don't believe it. Such an increase in people employed in these areas would mean an astounding increase in the number of bars and restaurants.
Fake
In 1970 in LA CA we built the SR71 Blackbird the Comaro and all the best movies. Most all of that is gone or just a shadow of what it once was. We build prisons.
Thanks
To house illegal immigrants that have committed illegal acts other than entering the country illegally.
CA is still number 1 in porn production!!!
Thats been heading to Vegas as we speak. Id give it another year maybe two.
We're all whores now.
At least, that is TPTB's intent.
They start the girls young, "web cam modelling"...
Someone just made me a corned beef reuben and a long island ice tea.
Who says we don't make anything in this country anymore?
I have no college degree, never wanted one, but I get to blow up spaceships for a living.
Luckily, we're still in CA. (yes I know how fucked up Cali is, believe me)
Most of our visual effects jobs have fled to Canada or overseas, under the guise of "tax breaks".
I'm just stacking and saving outside of the banking system while I'm still able to do so, watching clueless kids wander by with their faces firmly planted in their cellphones. They don't even think of having their head in the clouds anymore. They will get eaten by feral negroes if things go shithouse.
Make ready for what's to come.
The other day I saw three decently attractive women , all crossing the street, all with their face tucked into their 'smart phone'! Instant write-off.
We can only hope they are jerking-off in the banker guacamole.
Plan to destroy US sovereignty decades old.
It will happen, but not easily.
we need less US soverienty, maybe less wars and stuff you know.
Trickle-down economics. The rich bought yachts and mansions and needed more service staff.
As robots continue to replace jobs, this will continue. Pretty soon we'll be taking turns bartending to each other.
Yes and trickle up economics has proven to work. Robots taking over is fine, they improve productivity. A economy is about production, not about jobs. China is a manufacturing economy. Americans don't want to do manufacturing jobs. They are over educated in useless stuff and expensive. Productive jobs is not just about wages paid, it's about supplying the economy in volume, while reducing prices. This is what increases real wages. Productive jobs don't simply reward people with wages, they reward people with cheap products. If you seen how much machinery is involved in production, you wouldn't be saying such nonsense about robots removing jobs. Robots just remove the hard work, while humans focus on other types of jobs.
Remember in ancient times, where American children were taught in schools about the "Indians" accepting $25 or so of beads for the island of Manhattan. The children thought the Indians were foolish traders.
Americans today have traded what was the best country in the world for trinkets made in China. Methinks the Indians got a better deal. Maybe they had an idea of what Manhattan would become.
Anyone think the Indians would take back Wall Street for those beads, if they still have them around somewhere? I'd be willing to throw in the District of Columbia and Detroit also.
The Indians also operated on the principle of fairness, in that, if you changed your mind, the other party was supposed to offer you the same, or similar, terms to what you offered them initially. We now call this "indian giving".
1.4 mil waiters and bartenders. I gess that means that now it's a party.
As long as jobs added to the economy are not scrutinized too closely, it's all good in da hood for Obama and his parrots.
Speaking of da hood, one thing I don't see too much of is black waiters and bartenders.
Thats because they are all earning more money as basketball stars and porn stars.
I supopse Mr. Yellen might argue that those bartenders are "manufacturing" mixed drinks and the waiters are "manufacturing" pleasurable dining experiences. Problem solved!
FUBAR.
"
Gained 1.4 Million Waiters And Bartenders" = gain for DUI attorneys and treatment centers.
