Slow job growth continues across New England, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday, with the manufacturing and retail sectors reporting gains in sales or revenue, consulting and advertising firms “generally upbeat,” and demand for residential real estate increasing.
The report, known as the Beige Book, is issued eight times a year and uses anecdotal information from interviews with businesses to analyze the economic climate in the Federal Reserve’s 12 districts.

The job market in New Enlagand is slow because there is a whole in the bottom of the bucket and the jobs are unning out of it as a few jobs are added to the bucket.
State Corporation at One Lincoln stree is busy OFF SHORING it Fund Administration dept, 750 middle class Boston jobs, and they are basically using an $11.5 Million tax break given to them by MAyor Menino and the BRA to train INDIAN nationals on the third floor of the Hancock Tower to learn Financial Reporting jobs, SEC IRS Compliance Jobs, Fund Accounting Jobs, and take them back to PUNEA with them.
Your tax dollars are heling top ensure that some kid in Dorchester, North Quincy, Charlestown, Brighton, or hyde park, will never have a job in the future, and you can thanks State Street's current CEO JAY Hooley, his buddy ALLEN GREENE, and their HR person - ALLISON QUIRK, for making all of this a reality. If you care about employment or the future of Massachusetts children you should contact Mayor Menino, Barney Frank, and Scott Brown and demand that they put an end to State STreet Corporations (a $2 Billion TARP recipient) Joint Venture or JV with SYNTEL CORP of TROY MI.. This will greatly help the New England Economy and guarantee that someone's kid has a job in the FUTURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be no jobs worth talking about until the markets see a reduction in spending from Washington. The markets aren't waiting for new increased tax revenues; the markets are waiting for a reduction in spending. You can't fix this country's problems and you certainly can't create jobs when you are spending too much money! Tax revenues are nice but if you want JOBS the markets are waiting to see Washington cut spending. When they finally do, jobs will SKY! Until they cut spending, this country is going absolutely nowhere. The last four years will be the next four years if Washington doesn't cut! Simple fact. Now look at the politicians who are lying to you or, almost as bad, look at the Democrats who don't understand this simple point, like Liz Warren. This country is going nowhere until people like Obama and Liz Warren are purged. Not sure how much more clearly I can put it, especially for those of you who are so easily manipulated by lies-you-want-to-hear.
