Response to 573,000 new employees

I wonder if the hiring of thousands of temporary census takers are included in the 573,000 jobs? I do not think that jobless people are counted in the unemployment rate once their benefits run out so yes the numbers could very well be a lot higher. I do agree about the huge financial issues that are hanging over our heads and it is evident in the small towns that are slowly disappearing across America and even parts of Texas. And where do those people go? To the larger populated areas to compete for the few available jobs.
I am happy for your new position and the enthusiasm you have for it. Good luck and always keep a smile!
