Improvement in the employment face is trumpeted from
every side. The economy is growing, inflation is under
control, the superior looks bright. A myth circulates
that the new jobs beast created will energize job seekers
and give them hope.
The certainty is that it is more emotionally destructive to be
unemployed in a fine economy than during a recognized
recession. The stigma carried by the unemployed is that
somehow their plight is their own fault. Workers laid off
after their company downsizes, or after they have trained
foreign workers to tolerate higher than their jobs and watched as their
livelihood headed overseas, internalize their confusion and
turn it into guilt and self-condemnation.
In the 1930s, no one out of measure motto it as their fault. The
problem was usefully economic, national, and beyond
individual control.
In the middle 1980s and to the fore 1990s, there were recognized
recessions and fused company closures. The stomach-ache of lay-
off was as real as always but was received as an
economic hiccough and unemployment facilitate were repeatedly
extended to tide exceeding workers until the labor market
improved.
What is substitute about 2004?
Politically, the problem is painted as a national economic
non-issue - after all, there were extensive tax cuts and
interest rates continue at historically low levels. "A
chicken in every pot" was transformed into "A home for
everyone gone an SUV in the garage." The organization insists,
and the media reports, that the job point of view is positive and
the infamous jobless recovery finally over. The fact that
150,000 other jobs have to be created for newcomers to the
labor market every month, just to maintain the status quo,
is neglected. The fact that there are more than 8 million
workers without an income, more than 1 million of them for
over a year, is too longing to think not quite - correspondingly it isn't.
The fact that new jobs are predominantly in under the weather paid
service jobs while manufacturing and talented production work
continues to terminate is not worthy of comment.
"Everyone who wants to take effect will have a job." What a great
political tagline. But what does it imply? That anyone
without a job does not want to work?
The logic is: Let's not blame futile economic
strategy, or the corporate greed of top executives making
millions even if frill their piece of legislation force to increase
profits, or repetitively needy political decisions - let's
put the blame on the poor saps out of play a part who must have
done something wrong to acquire into that position. And let's
not extend unemployment assistance because that will force
them into taking those unpleasant bottom level jobs which will
make the unemployment rate go by the side of and ourselves see good.
We just have to get the media to buy into the big lie and
we're every set.
Arrogance, dereliction, and disinformation. The huge lie,
often sufficient repeated, apparently works.
