Then how come the only jobs available are part time or temp jobs ?


Sorry, they are not the only jobs available, look in the want ads and outside of the local area.

Yes if you don't have any skills or training you're qualified only for crappy part time jobs.
Otherwise, like I said before there are plenty of full time well paying jobs for people who have the know how and skills to do the job. There are jobs available for welders, machinists, accounting, plumbers, engineers, electrical, nursing, teaching, truck driving etc.

http://time.com/404/5-most-in-demand-jobs-right-now/

Morons who don't have the skills are stuck with the low paying part time service jobs with no benefits and sorry, that's not the fault of the president.

Here ya go:

And BTW, this is who you vote for:

GOP Congressman outlines goal of new Social Security rule: cutting disability benefits
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/01/1 ... -benefits#



Is this the best you can do? Except for a handful of high skill jobs like a Cardiologist, they are almost all minimum wage jobs, or slightly above minimum wage.
My niece had just worked a temp job at Lear, for $8.35 an hour, as an inspector. Where the heck are the high paying jobs? Not everyone is a Cardiologist, or a Chemist, or an Accountant.

That is what we are trying to explain to you...Everytime you vote for a right leaning rethuglicon you are voting against your best interests! Refusing to increase the minimum wage, passing right to work for less, repealing the competitive wage law are all against anyone getting high paying jobs. Indiana just released last month that the state revenues are less that predicted...Why? Workers are making less money in this state because of rethuglicon control over the last 8 years.

Ask your boy Mike Pence, the jackass you voted for and the republican super majority in Indy, maybe they can help you and your niece.

Mike has plenty of jobs down in Indy, here, check it out:

Pence grows communications team following stumbles

INDIANAPOLIS | Gov. Mike Pence has added a fifth person to his taxpayer-funded messaging team in the wake of public relations disasters associated with Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act and Just IN, his aborted state-run news service.

Shelley Triol, a former Indianapolis television reporter who has been a $95,000-a-year spokeswoman for the Indiana Department of Administration, began work Tuesday as Pence's communications director.
Other Pence communications staff include Press Secretary Kara Brooks, who earns $91,800 a year; Bridget Cleveland, the deputy press secretary paid $56,100 a year; and Stephanie Hodgin, a $45,900-a-year communications specialist.

Combined, Pence's messaging team takes home more than $400,000 a year in salaries.

There is less revenue because the economy has tanked under obama.

I do not fully agree with everything Pence does, but if you look at Illinois, where most of the DEMOCRAT governors have been sent to prison because of corruption, Indiana looks darn good.

Well let's see, the stock market is at an all time high, corporate profits are at an all time high, 12 million new private sector jobs have been created, The American car industry is doing great, 10 million people who did not have heath care have it now, deficits that have been cut by two-thirds, there are no longer any body bags coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and Bin laden is dead.
And there's this:

Yeah right:
Quote:
Indiana’s per capita income ranks 38th among states

WASHINGTON – The income Hoosiers earned last year grew slightly slower than the national average, leaving the state ranked 38th in per capita income, according to figures released this week by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Income for Indiana residents last year was $38,812 per person, a 2.3 percent increase. That compares with $44,543 for the nation, a 2.6 percent increase.

Indiana’s income ranking has dropped in recent decades, down from 30th in 1980, and 21st in 1950. The drop has been tied largely to the decline in high-paying manufacturing jobs.


Illinois is ranked 18th with an average of over $53,000 per person compared to $38,812 for Indiana.

Inflated numbers to make obama look good. I see the real deal in my area, no matter what numbers you come up with, show.

Illinois is also in the red, and Chicago is close to bankruptcy.

When you make up nonsense it's too bad you can't prove it.

Your "area" does represent the whole country, that means it's not relevant.
