- makomk 9y agoRemember those articles after the election about how researchers found that pretty much all of the net jobs created since 2005 were temporary, contract work, gig economy or other such insecure short-term non-traditional employment? For instance, https://qz.com/851066/almost-all-the-10-million-jobs-created-since-2005-are-temporary/ https://qz.com/851066/almost-all-the-10-million-jobs-created... Think carefully about what that means for the Obama years, and what it says about all the people who insisted those headline unemployment figures were iron-clad, indisputable proof that things were getting better and that anyone who claimed otherwise was simply lying.
