| About the drastic shift in new jobs opening and then switching to no help wanted.
This could be because of a normal yearly happening, in the spring a number of places hire extra people for summer jobs (a month or so before the summer tourest season and before people rush out to buy stuff need for summer useage). Just like they hire extra help during the Christmas season. Many of those jobs are temporary and involve the hiring of students. $ my guess)
Plus during the summer months more jobs can be done that winter snows would otherwise put a stop too. (like farming jobs).
So we have those seasonal jobs that come and go each year that can cause the stats to rise and fall.
Some of these stats are obtained from the employment office of human rescources (aka Unemployment office). The number of jobs they have listed for unemployed people getting checks to apply for.
The number of unemployed people can be manipuated (the numbers can) by different factors. If unemployment benifits are extended then the stats would show more people as be unemployed. But once benifits run out and you no longer get an unemployment check - you are not counted as one of the unemployed because they have no way to keep track of how many "homeless people" are roaming around without jobs.
If people swtich from getting unemployment check to going on welfare then the stats provided by the unemployment office would show less people being unemployed (as they do not count folks on welfare) - that counting is under a different bracket or heading as a different source of data.
Also if the govornerment should list a bunch of jobs for hiring that would fill government positions then that would give us the impression that the economy is booming with new jobs being created. But those jobs are not from inducstry or reflective of new products being manufactured. Although the space program or making jet fighters for the D.O.D would be a product and so those contracts can be viewed (I guess) as real jobs. The Kennedy "first man on moon" space program did a lot to create high paying jobs that stemulated the economy (which dropped off once the moon mission was completed).
