I wonder how many of those jobs decreasing the local unemployment rate are living wage jobs vs. Walmart/dishwasher/dog walker/other minimum wage jobs.

I would not want to be a dog walker and try to explain that the poodle just got snatched by an eagle. I am waiting for that one seen one snatch squirrel and small groundhog. Sitting in them trees they look 3 feet tall.

@LinkRaygun If Donald Trump wins, we can start blaming him for everything bad in the USA starting January 20, 2017. After all, the right-wingers and conservatives have done the same blaming about President Obama since January 20th, 2009.
 
Just my opinion, no more, no less.
