Please Tell the Whole Truth About Jobs
RECEIVED Wed., March 31, 2004
Dear Editor,
Would you all look at the number of people who are self-employed? Seems to me that, though there is not the typical job growth, there are a lot of entrepreneurs who are offsetting the supposed lack of jobs. Many people, myself included, fit the self-employed entrepreneur bill.
Its pretty sad that before the 1930s 90% of the population had their own business, and now that number has dropped to 15%. A scholar, Rhett Claypool, confirmed these figures. Please tell the whole truth instead of trying to instill people with fear about lack of jobs like so many media outlets do.
I was listening to a radio show weeks ago that said people in Europe were doubting our economy because of the bad press regarding lack of jobs. The American rebutting people from the BBC said that our self-employment rates had increased dramatically and that is partly why our economy is good.
Thanks for your time and attention. Hope you have a good day.
