All Those “Great” Jobs

The one’s that Obama is touting. You know, the big private-sector hiring last month that McDonald’s did?

Well, don’t expect a very long career

McDonald’s is to change the way customers order its meals in Europe, partly replacing cashiers and the use of banknotes at its 7,000 fast-food restaurants in the region with touchscreen terminals and swipe cards.

Yes, in a Green Economy Liberal Arts majors won’t even have “would you like fries with that?” as a fall-back option.

I for one welcome our Computerized Burger Overlords.

   Hey, I hear that lefties really like hotel maids, so that career field remains viable.

   John Crudele at the NY Post has been following this for months. According to him, the emplyment numbers are as much sleight-of-hand and wishful thinking at Labor. Remember the big downward revisions last year? He says to expect a repeat this year. Same with inflation: it’d be 10 percent if the feds used the 1979 counting method, says he.
