The greatest economic expansion in 30,000 years continues to roar! The historic and once in a lifetime Obama Boom will turn 2 years old this summer! In celebration of this historic period of prosperity, employers will be hiring more seasonal jobs this summer. As an added bonus to celebrate the good times, the pay will be even better than the last couple of years!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — After suffering through several years of dismal summer job markets, not only will there be more hourly positions this year, but they will pay better.

More than half of hiring managers, or 55%, said they plan to hire seasonal workers this summer, according to the survey released Thursday from hourly job site SnagAJob.com. That’s the highest percentage since SnagAJob started the survey four years ago.

Those who score summer jobs will be paid better, too. Hiring managers said they plan to dole out $10.90 an hour, on average, a 7% increase over last summer’s $10.20.

Read the rest: More summer jobs – and they’ll pay better

This srticle would be very funny if things weren’t so bad. You can bet if it was a Republican President, the media would be hammering on anemic job and wage growth. Gas prices continue to climb, so that 50 cent increase is wiped out before the summer even gets here. You can also bet that many these summer jobs will not appear due to rising energy costs. No one knows how much higher oil will go up. yet it will not matter, the media will still decleare how great things are and that we should be grateful for Obama’s policies. There is an election in 2012, so they need to create a perception of good times. Never mind rising costs and staganat pay, don’t pat attaention to that.

The Obama Boom is
