What About The Ongoing Jobs Crisis?
President Obama's State of the Union address was woefully lacking in any imperative action about the ongoing massive jobless crisis.
As Robert Borosage Campaign for America's Future commented: "...his agenda focused on mostly symbolic measures of populist appeal......but no call for urgent action on jobs.......as for taking on banks, taxing the rich, investing in our future, reviving manufacturing, the president was putting out markers rather than calling for initiatives at the scale of our challenges."
Regarding the continuing jobs crisis, Jonathan Tasini at Working Life points out:"Politicians bickering over private equity's impact on jobs and how to bring down the high unemployment rate are entirely missing the point about the crisis facing working Americans. The predicament we face isn't simply that there are too few jobs; it's also that an increasing number of workers don't have the kind of job that can pay the bills.
"The rest of this point is here in my op-ed for The Los Angeles Times."
