:shrug:

Large employers have been holding onto an unprecedented amount of capital. Are they going to start hiring, now that their 'boys' have control of a part of Congress?

2. They'll be conflicted.

They didn't get the Senate, so they may want to hold off to avoid giving the Dems even PART of the credit for any recovery.

On the other hand, they may be afraid to do that because it would hurt the 'pugs in the House who said "vote for us and the rich will start hiring".

And they may just not care and KEEP moving the jobs to Mexico and China.

3. If you would accept $0.05 per hour ....

for 18 hours a day ....

Something we should note: The economy took a serious dive while under right wing control ...

Expect the same (or worse) to happen ....

Without an improved wage environment, workers will see their buying power continually degraded, and the economy will sputter and spiral downward of it's own accord ....

Funny how nobody talks about the wage issue ... not even Democrats .... That is part of the problem ...

4. Nope. No demand

and this makes more demand even less likely.
