‘There Are No Jobs’: Obama Loyalists Scramble To Find Work
2017-01-10
[DAILYCALLER] Outgoing White House staff and President B.O.-appointees are struggling to find new work after Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 and Republicans generally swept into office last November.

Thousands of Obama loyalists are struggling to find work in a city now dominated by the GOP, according to a report from Politico. "It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs," Mira Patel, a longtime Clinton aide told Politico.

Democratic operatives and Obama staffers no longer have the more than 4,000 presidential appointed jobs to transition to after President-elect Trump takes office.

Politico describes how a generation of young operatives from the Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
 campaign and failed down-ballot races are still managing their "shock and grief" from Clinton’s loss.

#24  They're screaming for petrochemical construction folks in South Louisiana this time of year, Deacon. Excellent pay.

Lots of rigs and refineries being retrofitted, and there's plenty more to come.

You'd have to work hard and be willing to get your hands dirty, though.

#23  My wife made the comment, after I read the article to her, "OHHHH!!!! So THAT is what Michelle Obama meant when she said 'Now we have no hope!'"

#13  There are petrochemical and construction jobs available. Soon, there will be auto industry jobs available. Oh, those jobs are beneath you? Sucks to be you.

#12  This is sort of like what happened in Silly Con Valley when the dot com bust happened and the "$33,000.00 a year to manage the coffee room" jobs dried up.

#11  There are no jobs? Thought there were all kinds of jobs created by Obama. You mean these were fake jobs and numbers? Shame on you. You might be able to cobble together two or three jobs to make ends meet if you have any skills. It'll be O.K., you still have ObamaCare for awhile.

#8  "unemployed climate scientists"

I think most scientists will be fine, It's climate lysenkoists that will have to find a new scare to get the grants rolling.

#7  Turnabout seems to be very schadenfreude inducing...

Very few deserve a taste of funemployment more than those wage destroyers.

#6  I know of a prideful Yale grad, east coaster, upwardly mobile snobbish WH worker who found work in administration, at U of Idaho.
The joke involving his equally annoying wife during introductions...
"Where are you from?"
"Idaho."
"Yes, but where do you live?"

#5  #3 I hear FedEx was hiring part time drivers a bit ago.

Going to be serious competition from unemployed climate scientists.

#4  Better start getting in shape if you want to be a delivery driver these days. You may find yourself taking 100 pound packages to the third floor by stair wells, and that's rough even with a dolly.

Still, your duffelbag is in the hall.
