Mornin people. Today, I thought we could look at the reality of things instead of pretending. I was just curious as to the trend the City has been taking and looking for the real numbers, instead of the usual fantasy backpatting and visions of glorious rejuvenation, that comes from the corner office. Well my friends the picture looks pretty bleak. I don't want you just to take my word for it, see for yourself!.......... Local Area Unemployment Statistics/Employment and Wages ..........You can see for yourself the trend. What I found very scarry, was the fact that as of November 2005, we had only 6,668 actually working out of a population of less than 14,681 (not up to date, is for the year2000, much less now) Of course I think they include those make believe residents, the students, into the population count which messes everything up even more. http://www.mass.gov/portal/site/massgovportal/menuitem.e1ed4a776e6931c14db4a11030468a0c/?pageID=mg2localgovccpage&L=3&L0=Home&L1=State+Government&L2=Local+Government&sid=massgov2&selectCity=North+Adams&go_city2.x=10&go_city2.y=16
Well anyway for today you can see for yourself the last 16 year trend. The herd is looking for more fertil grazing land elsewhere. Not to worry, we were a TOWN once before!........................ WHAT DO YOU THINK?

No they are all phony numbers. With the computer today you know instantly when someone re-enters the work force, but it seems to take years for the numbers to catch up....Hmmm WHY? How long will it take for the city censes to be published? They can count voting results by the next day but municipal information seems to take years to compile....Why? As far as MANURE is conserned we have an overabundance.
That's because we have voting machines- and the voters go to the polls--- census?? the forms are mailed to you--- and some people don't respond---complicated this years with no SASE's-- chbpod
Thats my point ...why do we always have to waite forever for the State to catch up? They have had computers for a long time now.
SASE - State Assisted Sacrifical Employee??
