The BLS employment report is another good showing for payroll jobs as growth was 257,000. January is the month of revisions and November 2014 is now a 423,000 jobs added blowout with December 2014 not far behind with 329,000 jobs added.

The U.S. post office alone shed 9,000 jobs.

We're all temporary workers now. Yes, the FTE 3 letter mnemonic should stand for f@&*ed temporary employee instead of full time.
The latest outrage du jour is how employers are miscategorizing workers as independent contractors to avoid paying unemployment claims, workman's comp. and payroll taxes.
The Internal Revenue Service and 37 states are cracking down on companies that try to trim payroll costs by illegally classifying workers as independent contractors, rather than as full employees, The Associated Press has learned. The practice costs governments billions in lost revenue and can leave workers high and dry when they are hurt at work or are left jobless.
