Yep... this should definitely pave the way for a housing recovery.......

********************
"America needs high employment numbers to spark a robust housing recovery, but most of the positions coming back online post-recession are low-wage jobs, the National Employment Law Project said."

"The advocacy group, which focuses on national employment issues, released a report saying low-wage occupations grew 2.7 times faster than jobs in the mid- to higher-wage categories from a period stretching from the first quarter of 2010 through 1Q 2012."

"Lower-waged occupations are those paying anywhere from $7.69 to $13.83 per hour."

You should go ask that question to the approximately 360K people who file first time unemployment claims EACH week... or, go ask the employees of the companies listed on the site below on how they feel the economy will be next year... http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/

Hope is great, but what has change for the better to set this economy on the right foot?

In fact, even if the rest of the $40 hr. jobs were to dry up overnight and go to China. The future is always bright in America.

So many engineers have had to change careers. Just watched the NAFTA debates at youtube. Wow did Perot get it right, and Gore got it 180 degrees wrong. Gore looks like an arrogant school frat boy. He did not make a single salient arguement in the debate. Yes, the new jobs are going to be closer to minimum wage, and we designed it to be so.
