In 1998 the United States reached the highest percentage of the population working at close to 67% of the adult population. This is largely due to the
dot.com bubble and the new technology of the internet. Since then jobs have fallen, most sharply in 2009 after the housing market collapse. Although Obama took credit for revitalizing the economy through tax and spend tactics favorable by the left all that really increased is the number of service jobs. Good paying jobs, especially middle management jobs were largely absent from the recovery. Obama's policies essentially replaced good jobs with bad ones.
It's not really his fault though. Since 1980 high paying middle class jobs have been all but destroyed, primarily because of the abundance of personal computers. No longer does a company have to train someone for 6-8 weeks to do a job then hold on to them for a lifetime. Now they can train someone in a matter of hours, or better yet, just do the job themselves.
For example, a hotel I worked at was bought out in 2012 by some dude from India. He cut the staff down by 1/3. The front desk manager, the weekend manager, the general manager, the sales manager, and the maintenance manager all lost their jobs. He gave the front desk supervisor the general manager's job at half the pay. The other jobs he did himself with a simple spreadsheet program while the general manager now had the double duty of managing the front desk and maintenance.
Those jobs aren't needed anymore, there's no purpose to keeping them around. So while you retards complain about women taking horse studies
>>12803558at least it keeps them busy. Just what are they expected to do? We don't need half the workforce currently employed and people are delusional if they think the jobs lost due to covid are coming back. 95% of those jobs will never return as CEOs and directors realize all the work they need could still get done without them.
