Hiring Patterns

The EPI Snapshot by Bernstein and Bivens states that Manufacturing has been losing both Jobs and Wages, over the last year in the later case, and since 1998 for Jobs. Steven Pearlstein at the Washington Post claims Advertising is descending to young Kids in blue jeans and upstart firms on low Wages and Profit margins. Michael Mandel states that since 2003, Health Care has accounted for 80% of private sector Job creation. Phil Miller comments on success viability of Product Reps by stating: "Yes, Virginia. There are diminishing returns, even to donuts." I will finish with a short pass into School Breakfasts.

What does this mismah tell Us?

The real Trend in Jobs Creation, even Health Care, has come in the form of Sales Representatives. This Author does not know if he could find requisite data on the numbers of new Jobs in the field of Product Representation, but he knows it must be the fastest growing industry in the Economy. Miller discusses the double appearance of WSJ Sales Reps with Donuts. Mothers, Taxpayers, and even probably Congress, did not intend for dry Cereal and Juice in a Box for Breakfast when they allocated $2 bn for School Breakfasts. Advertising has descended to Sales Reps with High School education lecturing Doctors over Lunch on the value of their Product line. What is the exact definition of Job Creation?

The bad old Days of an Office call for Lunch or Coffee Break with Order delivery by Messinger seems to be over. It is social misconduct Today to suggest some Employee may hold some inferior position like delivering Orders. My Thought, though, contends it is the same old Messinger Boy or Girl, but now, they must sing and dance while you eat. lgl
