  1. Most of the new jobs being created are part time low wage jobs theirs also many temporary jobs thats not the way to build a sustainable economic recovery. Employment hours have also never recovered form the recession. Food service jobs now account for ten percent of total employment. Maybe MCdonald's should bring back their old saying you deserve a break today at Mcdonald's but change it instead to you deserve a job today at MCdonald's.
