I was hoping that someone would analyze thse numbers - I found it difficult to digest once hearing the 90,000 numbers and noticed that the numbers came from the federal bureau of labor (I believe) - and not the state dept of labor. When I hear that jos are created - I tend to wonder if they are part-time jobs, temporary jobs, etc - big difference between full time paying jobs. - Backyard Conservative - Tuesday, Apr 11, 06 @ 7:58 am: Yes, good story by Pantagraph. The only thing I would say is that in terms of real economic activity, “creating” state jobs is a dubious measure. - Goodbye Napoleon - Tuesday, Apr 11, 06 @ 8:34 am: Thanks for posting that WBEZ story, but I disagree with the critics. It’s a public affairs station at heart and I think it’s a good change. I appreciate that maybe they didn’t announce the change in a open or positive way, but this change will be good for radio and for the public. - So-Called - Tuesday, Apr 11, 06 @ 9:01 am: I agree with Goodbye Napoleon. BEZ certainly could have handled this better, but — except for Dick Buckley — I will not miss their emasculated version of jazz. For cryin’ out loud, Chicago’s own Ken Vandermark was awarded a MacArthur Foundation genius grant, but Chicago Public Radio didn’t have a place for him in their lineup of lullaby jazz. I will miss Buckley and his “good old good ones” though. Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
