Thread Name: BS: One Million Jobs
Subject: BS: One Million Jobs
George W. has said that by cutting taxes he can create 1.2 million jobs. This is of great interest to me, because the economy recently ate mine. My question for all of you Wise 'Catters is this:

What industry is my new job going to be in?

I need to spin my resume and, frankly, I'm confused. According to the business section, all of the "successful" companies, i.e. the ones that the smart folks with all the investin' money will be looking at, are the companies that are in "cost-cutting mode". This is a veiled way to say they are getting rid of people/jobs as quickly as possible. Why invest in a company that is going to increase its payroll and more importantly benefits obligation by hiring?

So, please help by letting all us po' folks what kind of jobs you think we will be gettin' from the nice wealthy people for the $550 billion or so dollars the guv'ment's gonna let them keep.

P.S. The only silver attached to my reversal of fortune is that I now have time to play guitar and spend some time at the 'Cat once again. I missed you guys.

Have a wonderful day
Bart
