In the latest sign of weakness in Louisville-area employment, about 10,000 people applied over three days for 90 jobs building washing machines at General Electric for about $27,000 per year and hefty benefits.

Just four years ago, the same jobs paid $19 per hour [$40,000/year]. But that was before Local 761 approved wage cuts for new workers aimed at preventing the closure of Appliance Park.

GE owns NBC News, which of course says the economy is doing great, and Obama is King of the World.
