Barack Obama quotes:60.6 percent of working age Americans had a job. Today, only 58.7 percent of working age Americans have a job. Since Obama has been president, seven out of every eight jobs that have been "created" in the U.S. economy have been part-time jobs. The number of full-time workers in the United States is still nearly 6 million below the old record that was set back in 2007.It is hard to believe, but an astounding 53 percent of all American workers now make less than $30,000 a year. 40 percent of all workers in the United States actually make less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968.

“If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. … I’m always struck by people who think it must be because I was so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there.”
“It must be because I worked harder than everybody else,” Obama said. “If you have a business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen.”
Great article. We are quickly headed toward two classes of citizens: Those with a college degree working at any job that will have them, and those without a college degree living off those with a college degree. My son's friend (just graduated with a degree in chemistry) is now pursuing an apprenticeship in plumbing simply because chemistry does not pay enough, and his degree permitted him to go to the head of the apprenticeship line. This scenario will continue to repeat itself until there are no more jobs for those with a GED.

Hey Anon @ 2:47, worry not anymore, as soon as the US starts to enforce immigration laws and deport all undocumented citizens, all gringos with GED can take the lawn maintenance and house cleaning jobs, God Bless America, WOW!
