That guy needs to buy a new car on the backs of all of the doom-and-gloomer collectivists who believe his nonsense without having the foggiest idea as to where he gets his numbers. <br /><br />The Baltic Dry Index is extremely controversial as a measure of much of anything. A simple Google search would make that very clear. <br /><br />And only a "fool" who has absolutely no understanding of employment/unemployment numbers would claim that "more jobs were lost than added every month in 2014." The report that tells us how many people were hired vs. how many people separated for any reason (retirement, quitting, getting laid off or fired) is the monthly JOLTS report, the Job Opening, Layoffs, and Turnover Survey. In 2014 as of October (November and December data is not yet available for this report), there were 48,000,000 people hired and there were 45,800,000 people separated for any reason. Remember that people can be hired or laid off more than once, so that is one of the reasons these numbers are so high. And the US work force is very volatile.<br /><br />So we have had, through October, 2.2 million more people hired than separated.<br /><br />It is frustrating that so many of the people who comment here are idiots who know NOTHING about the various economic indications or about jobs numbers. <br /><br />Middle Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441441493867436577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912833783359356343.post-74056705077676927302015-01-07T14:12:22.456-06:002015-01-07T14:12:22.456-06:00Wow.
