Hamburger Flipping (and Flopping) on Jobs

So much for industrialized hamburger. The Council of Economic Advisers suggeste that fast food jobs should be classified as "manufacturing" jobs. That'd instantly add 10 million or so manufacturing jobs to the economy -- on paper at least. But an amendment to a bill before Congress will stop that. Rep. Sherrod Brown'S (D-OH) amendment declares that the Council of Economic Advisers can't use any of the $89.9 billion Transportation and Treasury Department funding bill to write an economic report that counts jobs at fast-food restaurants as part of the manufacturing sector.
