Your argument also applies to "managers" and their people (Pachyderms) who expect ridiculously high wages for the work they perform (or can't/don't perform). If only they could price themselves out of the market. ;) Ho, ho, ho…Jon G.

Your argument also applies to “managers” and their people (Pachyderms) who expect ridiculously high wages for the work they perform (or can’t/don’t perform). If only they could price themselves out of the market. ;)

The pay may be a little less, but it is comparable. The difference is that a "foreign" Honda or Toyota will be running loooong after the "Big Three" vehicle is rusting in the salvage yard. Quality is what matters and the unions/big three don't have it anymore. Zorki, you are COMPLETELY wrong. The pay may be a little less, but it is comparable.

I've seen it coming for years but the union's and their people (democrats) don't see it that way and never will. They are like little children, they want satisfaction (ridicuously high wages for the work they perform) now and don't look to what the future will bring because of their current actions. They plain and simply priced themselves out of the market. StatlernWaldorf in post 5 is right.

Once the six months is over, that person isn't automatically "employed". They're just no longer counted among them. I wonder if anyone's knows what the true unemployment rate is. . With regards to why, it's interesting to see all of the different responses. Nobody has mentioned anything about an inflation based economy that's been a deficit spender and indebting everyone to foreign economies for decades - in addition to opening the doors to foreign products that are manufactured in "dirt floor" environments with zero regulatory for safety, wages, age, hours, discrimination, etc. . Anyone who believes that an inflation based system that opens it's borders to the cheapest competition - while allowing it's own manufacturers to go operate alongside the cheap competition - has a chance in hell of surviving simply hasn't taken enough time to think in between puffs of their crack pipe. . FYI - that crack pipe has a couple of other names, including "Keynesian economics", and the feeble excuses of talk radio pundits, FOX/CNN BSer's, and PBS propagandists. Stop breathing in their smoke and THINK, people. This is what the corporate controlled GOP/Dem party has handed us. And you're gonna respond by pointing fingers and repeating the mantra lies of talk radio? Everyone who posts here is smarter than that.
