What I've noticed is that a lot of these newly created jobs in the private sector are coming from companies who no longer want to employ a single person for 40 hours a week. They will instead prefer to hire 3 or 4 or even 5 people to work 5-10 hours a week. So while thre may be many more people working they are working far far fewer hours (and of course with fewer hours comes fewer benefits.)
So now instead of 1 person working at 1 store 40 hours a week, with benefits, they have to work at 4 stores at 10 hours a week per store, without benefits, to support themselves (nevermind any kind of family.) Try working that kinda stuff out with any employer who expects you to be available to them 24 hours a day 7 days a week (even though they only work you for 10 hours a week) and see how long they keep you on before dumping you for someone who they can tap at any time.
