May’s jobs report revealed some challenges for small town workers and small businesses alike.
There has been 38,000 newly created jobs which was reported this
week. This only reflects a dismal and continued troubling economy. Of those
jobs created, somewhere close to 10,000 were government jobs and the downside
is there being only 25,000 jobs created in the private sector. This report
brings with it totals not seen at its lowest level in nearly 6 years.
Although some would assume this to be a bright spot with our
unemployment rate dropping below 5% to a new 4.7%. This is hardly a bright spot as the drop in
number is actually due to more people leaving the workforce: 458,000 alone in
May. Combine those numbers and America’s participation rate in the labor force
is around 62%, a new low.
Currently America has a record number of workers no longer seeking
employment in the labor force in the amount of almost 95,000,000, more exact,
that number is 94,708,000.
Small business owners are finding it more challenging to
hire and expand business and workers are finding it more difficult to locate
work in their communities.

outlook for the future believing it will only get better from here. Jobigami is
