The first Friday of every month new US jobs numbers are released. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, America's unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent in April. Non-farm employers added 115,000 jobs, but at the same time 342,000 people left the labor force. Max Keiser, host of The Keiser Report, joins us with his take.

Globalization is good?!?!? Really! Do explain?

Read Jeremy Rifkin's The End of Work (1994) and his new book The Third Industrial Revolution (2011). Go to Marshal Brain's website Robotic Nation. Both argue that job destruction is permanent and escalating because of the 3rd Industrial Revolution (1964-2007) and the newly arrived 4th Industrial Revolution (2008- ).

The buying power of the wages of the typical U.S. employee have not gone up since... 1968 !!!!!!! Ninety percent of all U.S. households have two or more people in them holding slave-wage jobs. I've never seen so many cars with saran wrap in place of broken windows and so many people with missing teeth!!!!

Half the people I meet are unemployed. The other half of people I meet get paid on average $9.50 an hour. Can you rent an apartment on that kind of money. Can you buy a new car or even a used car on that kind of money. Can you buy a house on that kind of money? NO!!

I work for a website that pays $1.50 each time a person signs up for free using a screen name email and password. This website teaches earning cash and gifts with IFW "Instant Freeby Websites" In which one may complete easy tasks for playstations digital cameras and other goods. The information is all free and you will earn $1.50 each time you share the website's URL. They pay on time every friday by check, sent from Denver Colorado.

Thank you Max Keiser, lets push speculators out to finally help the people of America to increase employment at least like we had in the 1980's, by separating all powerful monopolies (Big Banks, Coca Cola and the list goes on). Lets go back to mom and pop shops, since monopolies don't have the heart mom and pop shops did. Ron Paul has the mind set to help, just not the amount of money to do it. Sorry folks we're not playing on a level playing field now, everything is rigged in politics.
