What I mean is, how long would they exist after the government gravy dries up? Seems like we're just shifting money from one pocket to the other and not actually creating any new wealth.

Relying on the unemployment data numbers has been a topic of debate for some and with it being felt there is no real accurate system in place that is agreed upon to show how many people have given up seeking as well as jobs gained versus jobs loss.

How can they congratulate themselves on a job well done when according to this site (<a href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm" rel="nofollow">link</a>) we lost over 243k jobs overall? "Over the year, 46 states experienced statistically significant changes in em- ployment, all of which were decreases. The largest statistically significant job losses occurred in California (-687,700), Florida (-339,600), Texas (-307,200), Illinois (-286,300), Michigan (-262,700), Ohio (-243,200), New York (-242,500), and Georgia (-228,000). The smallest statistically significant decreases in em- ployment occurred in South Dakota (-7,800) and Vermont (-10,700). (See table E.)" This reminds me of the times I tried dieting. I would say "This month I lost 10 pounds!!". Guess what, I also gained 15 for a net gain of 5 pounds. It is the big picture that counts. I don't want to hear any more congratulations from anyone unless they say that today we have more jobs than yesterday, this month is more than last month, and this year there are more jobs than last.
