95% of the jobs created since 2009 are temp jobs, the actual way the us defines a job was changed under Bush and kept under Obama
Do you have a source for this? 95% is hard to believe...
- hysan 9y agoFirst hit on Google[1] shows one study about it being 94% of jobs created from 2005 to 2015. So doesn't seem like a stretch so long as you agree with the "the actual way the us defines a job was changed under Bush and kept under Obama" part of the premise. Edit: More reading of other articles suggests that this is true for the 2009 to present timespan. Quote[2]: > The bottom line is: Almost all of the job gains under President Obama have been in so-called service jobs, such as those in Silicon Valley and consulting. Others are the low-end jobs, toiling in stores and restaurants. Every job described in that sentence sounds like a temp job.
