Liberals : Why do you not understand that "high demand jobs" are not?

yes

their understanding really is

?????

Uh, there aren't enough "high demand jobs" for everyone in the country.

What was high demand 30 years ago, isn't high demand today. What's high demand today may not be high demand 15 years from now. People need work more fo their adult lives than 15 or even 30 years.

To live, a person needs money. That is NOT true ONLY of a tiny segment of the population.

Your point is unclear (except for your idiotic lie that liberals don't understand supply and demand -- that's just wing-nut imbecility, because we DO understand).

"FIND a job" -- oh, right. I could pick a job from the JOB TREE growing right outside my window -- oh, right. there AREN'T enough jobs -- as everyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size knows.

Besides, many, if not most, of the poor HAVE jobs, but those jobs don't pay a living wage.

So where are the tens of millions of jobs that pay a living wage?

Not everyone has a college degree. People who got jobs in manufacturing 30 years ago didn't go to college. That's because THEN, there were jobs that paid a living wage that didn't require college degrees.

Now, very few families can afford college educations (when I started at a state college, in 1975, tuition was just under $100/semester for a full time student, and I had a scholarship that paid it -- NOW it's thousands per semester, and people are going into life-long debt, AND there aren't enough sections of the classes they need to graduate for them to finish in 4 years, so they have even deeper debt).

In the last 30 years, earnings for the richest have gone up astronomically; earnings for everyone has stagnated or declined. What is it about that that YOU are incapable of understanding?

What is it about 9% unemployment that's too complex for you to grasp? (And in my state it's over 11%, in some, it's even higher.)

The jobs that have been replacing those lost are much lower pay, with no benefits.

But all of this is too complex for conservatives, who are incapable of anything but simple-minded thinking.

Maybe your lack of understanding of larger forces is blinding you to certain facts, such as the fact that traditional economic models do not put food on the table for unemployed people. If your logic requires that they starve, they will ignore you and take what they need to survive. Any system that marginalizes the masses is doomed to failure.

The only high demand jobs that I know of are nursing and oil field workers. This is a stupid question. Do you understand the effects of outsourcing American jobs to China?

Really then why are jobs for college degree applicants rising. Just last month unemployment for college degrees rose by 30% to 5.1%

What is high demand today is not necessarily high demand tomorrow.

Remember the oil boom, and then bust in Texas? Petroleum engineers were in very high demand, and then, poof.

Then of course there was the dotcom boom and bust...

Housing boom, and bust...

Now it looks like a bankers boom, and bust...

We know that we don't need ANYMORE unemployment or layoffs whether it's for high demand jobs or not.

Liberals don't like all of the connotations of supply and demand. That's why they continue to try and circumvent it. It only brings more pain and suffering than they are trying to avoid but they seem to be able to ignore their own guilt and blame those trying to run things right.

What does this have to do with creating more jobs? Whats your point?

I know it quite well. I learned it in college.

Yes, if they weren't so clueless about economics, Wall Street wouldn't be "occupied".
