I feel like I have whiplash. Macy's is closing hundreds of stores, but Amazon's hiring 100,000 people for their new retail stores? I'm a retail cashier, and all this is making me super nervous. Anyone else wondering what's going on out there? Is retail not a stable industry to work in anymore?

GOP declares war on ObamaCare and millions of Americans risk becoming casualties of war. Pay close attention to this one folks to avoid having the rug pulled out from under you again. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/technology/312694-repealing-obamacare-means-contending-with-social-media

I don’t live in NY but I Hope this FREE tuition plan gets passed and spreads like wildfire throughout the US. The cost of a college education has been spiraling out of control for years. I originally wanted to go to a 4 year college after high school but couldn't afford it so I went to truck driving school and got a cdl license instead. Households earning less than $125K per year are eligible to attend a city or state university for free. That income level is going to allow millions of mid to low income NYC families the opportunity to have a realistic higher education option for their children. What’s wrong with having a highly educated society anyway? Tax dollars well spent in my opinion. What do you think? http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/03/nyregion/free-tuition-new-york-colleges-plan.html?_r=0"

I have a coworker who is 25. I feel like she is always going on about wanting to make a difference and how this economy has just screwed everything up. I think she is bitter because she has a Master’s degree but is in a low-paying job like the rest of us. I keep telling her that things aren't instant and that it takes TIME to get where you want to go in life. She HAS a job so I don’t see what the problem is.

What do you think? Is she just being whiny?

Is this another fake news scam to get more people to jump on the President elect bandwagon or did Trump really influence Ford Motor Company's decision to opt out of Mexico and turn to Michigan instead? When can we expect these new jobs in Michigan? http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/03/ford-canceling-plans-for-16-billion-plant-in-mexico-investing-700-million-in-michigan-expansion-instead.html

I’m trying to believe this is the Land of Opportunity… but it seems hard to see right now. I’m just trying to put one foot in front of the other, give it my all, and hope something better comes my way.

I don’t know if Obama is to blame or if Trump will make things better or if we are getting screwed by the 1%... but I choose to believe that this is America - where perseverance CAN win the day.

My parents seem to think I’m some sort of lazy bum because I’ve moved back in with them. I’ve been trying to tell them that the job market just isn’t what it used to be, when they were trying to make it on their own.

Now, I’ve finally got statistics to back up my case! 40% of all young adults are living with relatives these days!

Had to chime in on the Trump making this country great again and the comment about liberals wanting to get paid for NOT WORKING! First off Trump only cares about the rich and 1% and gives less than a damn about the working class... You will soon see... And it's funny that the RED states are the poorest and most unemploeyed on welfare! Lol! Live on! Heads UP everyone. These days you work harder and harder for less pay and no loyalty from the companies you are busting your ass for! Stay strong... I'm hoping this year is better for us all!

New research from McKinsey identifies five priorities for shaking off US economic stagnation and creating more widely shared prosperity. The McKinsey Global Institute makes a case for the private sector becoming the “connective tissue that brings both parties together around a new agenda for revving up growth.”

Says McKinsey: "the United States needs to build a more responsive labor market with more career paths outside the traditional degree track." Agreed! Kudos to Jobcase for breaking down job barriers for millions of Americans. http://neytenda.com/post/153567683049/linkedin-for-everyone-else
