Unemployment


I have lost my fair share of jobs. And I always wondered how and why the unemployment office is never hiring but is often fully staffed.
In defense of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Congress has turned down their requests for funding to assess the size and growth of this sector for several years running. Because of this, they’ve been unable to update their mid-2000 work on alternative work arrangements. Hopefully, the attention this sector is getting will result in the BLS getting the modest amount of money they need to do this work.
