Article Review 6

The author again talks mainly about how bad the economy is doing. This time, it's more focused on how the job market is doing compared to past years. It doesn't look too good based on the information presented, as the net gain in jobs in the past few years is much less than in 2000, and the turning point in the economy. He lets his emotions come through in his writing multiple times from what looks like frustration in the current state of the economy. He constantly blames Wall Street and people associated with them due to thinking they're the main problem with trying to fix the economy, mainly because of the agendas they have to limit the spread of bad news whenever possible to consumers to keep making as much money as they can before it blows over. The job gains in the economy are much smaller than before, with the smaller gains being significantly lower than from way before, with his angry accusations seeming to be, although emotionally driven, logically sound. He takes into account the different types of jobs that are being gained in the economy, noting that part time jobs don't really do much to help and would need more than double one of the jobs to compare with a 60k job.
