I think you have a valid point, unfortunately there are no agencies that actually study and reportRead More on those that have left the workforce. And as the article points out, most of the jobs created were low paying and temporary.

I don't know where they get these numbers since they don't count people like me who exhausted ourRead More unemployment benefits. I had to collect my Social Security benefits before I wanted to and don't have any health insurance. I still go to the doctor and dentist but just pay out of pocket which is certainly much less expensive than what the insurance companies want me to pay each month. I wish the news would stop reporting these stories because I just don't think they are accurate. How about the data being reported on the people in my situation?

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.
Lou Covey, The Local Motive March 31, 2013 at 12:43 pm
This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
