I Might be Moving To Montana Soon...

The media seems to have misunderstood that old saying "No news is good news."

Apparently in parts of the interior west there is a serious unemployment problem.

Record low unemployment across parts of the West has created tough working conditions for business owners, who in places are being forced to boost wages or be creative to fill their jobs.

If I understand the article correctly the problem is that unemployment it too low and employers are being forced to pay workers more to fill open positions. And this is a bad thing.

Of course if you prefer to look at it from more of a glass half full perspective, it means that more people are working - and they are getting paid more. Isn't that what we're supposed to consider a good thing? Wouldn't that make this the opposite of the worst economy since Hoover?

Or are we about to start hearing the left rant about the workers exploiting their employers and demanding ever higher wages and better working conditions?

I think the problem is that if more and more people are working and making more money doing so, there will be fewer people dependent on the Democrats government for their survival. Independent individuals are harder to control than the dependent masses.
