Many company's have trimmed the fat out of their work force.
Got rid of the extra people, cut out the dead wood workers and forced those left to work harder and smarter to keep their jobs. Yes, if you fear for your job then you either do better or out you go. No whip needed. Fear is the new whip.
The excuse was things are so bad...we have to cut back.

BUT ( there is always a but)

Company profits are up and in some cases soaring...the same ones that have cut those jobs. They will not replace those people, the jobs are gone swallowed up by corporate greed.

so of course things aren't turning around as fast as the Government would like. The faster it does the better they look and peoples fear wills go away.


And lets talk about those jobs that have come out. Most are being offered at less pay then they were paying before, and often without the same benefits that were packaged before.

and just look at those other jobs out there that just pay a little bit more then min. wage...why work at all people say.
