Most of these newly-employed are at minimum wage to $15/hr. A big adjustment from what they were used to perhaps, but still wildly-affluent compared to much of Asia and Europe. E.g., how many know that Germany has no minimum wage laws, and that wages of under 1 Euro/hr are common particularly in East Germany?

Romney is being pressed into service to do for America what Bain did for every business he bought: stuff all the loose cash in his pockets, dump all the jobs to minimum wage, load the place up with debt, and leave town. Welcome to the GOP's America.

Please give us healthcare system where the providers get a free market, to bill as much as they can...and the providers, insurers and pharmas are protected from competition.

Through 2020, 54.8 million total job openings are expected. The downside is that more than half -- 61.6% -- will come from the need to replace workers who retire or otherwise permanently leave an occupation. In four out of five occupations, openings due to replacement needs exceed the number new jobs due to growth. Replacement needs are expected in every occupation, even in those that are declining.
