FOX BUSINESS
— Yellen admits labor participation ‘quite depressed’ compared to pre-pandemic levels. The Labor Department recorded 10.4 million job openings at the end of August. – Peter Aitken
(COMMENT: Very soon after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, it became obvious that I could never again get a job appropriate for someone with my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license. Before they forced me to retire, they a) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) did not promote me beyond GS-13, e) got rid of my mentor in 1987, f) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Their adverse actions against made my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license worthless.)
