Jobs

   I haven't been posting here as I have been so busy working various jobs, developing projects, looking for jobs and projects and more.  Whew!  It all gets weirder and weirder everyday ..... unemployment is, it was announced today, at 9.2%, though we all know it is considerably higher than that, especially for those working in the creative industries, given the self-determined and independent nature of the sector.  Joblessness and unemployment is also much higher among women and people of color, given the increasingly (again) racialized and genderized nature of the good ole US of A.  Just about every economist on the planet, both the Nobel laureates and the quacks all say we are poised for a 'jobless' economic recovery.  How does that work?  If it is jobless how is that any kind of a recovery????

   In the next few weeks over the course of the summer and the run-up to Labor Day, I am going to be posting my ideas for an economic recovery that can provide jobs and a better quality of life for our families and in communities.
