With a rate of unemployment for black male teenagers up near 50 percent and what we know about the correlation between joblessness/poverty and depression/suicide, this is a potentially dangerous and deadly moment.
As we observe Labor Day 2011, it's clear that working men and women in the U.S. and Canada are hurting. As more and more money continues to be siphoned off by the wealthiest, the middle class is being decimated.
Every time you hear anyone say we're "broke" or "can't afford to spend more," tell them we'll be in worse shape if we don't. If the economy remains dead in the water, the ratio of public debt to GDP balloons.
Obama's gotta stop looking and acting like he's thrown in the towel. He's gotta stop caving, even on the little things. He's gotta finally realize who his enemy is and fight them accordingly.
In the conventional wisdom, there is nothing President Obama can do to put Americans back to work in large numbers. He is a president supposedly held ...
If a woman is looking for a job -- or trying to keep one -- in this fragile economy, is she putting herself in an even more precarious situation if she chooses to rebel and "go gray"?

The current proliferation of startup incubators may exacerbate the very problem that incubators were invented to solve in the first place.
Okay, deep breath. The job market was weaker than expected in August, as employers added no new jobs, on net. There were some extraneous factors, but they don't change the dismal result.

It surpasses all irony and actually enters into the realm of bitter humor that we're about to celebrate Labor Day when the unemployment rate remains at the sky-high level of 9.1 percent.
Labor Day is upon us, that last family cookout or picnic of the summer. So we'd better fire up both the grill and our handy responses to annoying arguments from that brother-in-law with a PhD in Fox TV.
For the second time in monthly jobs report history we have created no new jobs. The last time we created no jobs in a month was 1945.
America doesn't need to cut itself off from the world entirely, but it does need to get wise to the fact that the rest of the world views trade (correctly) as an arena of national rivalry, and start playing the game.
America is a nation of Great Generation citizens, a lost generation of workers and a failed generation of self-centered and small-minded operators in business, government and finance who appear incapable of leading.
I am not looking for free coffees or, as the case may be, free carrot cake. But it's just one of those perks, you might call them, of being unemployed.
Hey, man, how ya' doin'? Ok, Barack. Look, we don't' have time to shmooz, we've got some real problems. Look at your approval ratings. You're sink...
Obama's trademark caution, conciliation, and firm emphasis on bipartisanship will fly squarely in the face of the demand by the Congressional Black Caucus, labor, and liberals for a bold approach on jobs.
The evidence shows the stimulus worked, but ended too soon, before the private sector was ready to walk on its own. The evidence shows we need to do more of these sorts of policy interventions.
The winner of the 2012 presidential election will be the person who comes off as the toughest fighter for average Americans. Earth to Obama: Remember Harry (Give 'em Hell) Truman.
