Saw this the other day and the fencing off of the "Jobs" sign seemed rather ironic to me. What do you think?

Hello there,

I dont understand why it is ironic? When I see the image, if anything 'Jobs' seems appropriate given the construction trucks being the other prominent feature in the frame. How did you mean for it to be ironic?

I suppose it's much more appropriate to my geographical location than anything else. Where I live in Florida jobs have been disappearing all too frequently. While there is much talk about economic growth and recovery it isn't readily apparent here. Most large companies in the area have or are in the process of lay-offs. The picture, to me, shows jobs being just out of reach.

I had a small world view when I posted the image and forgot that not every area is in a similar situation. I probably should have posted a little more information. (Whoops)

Understood. I think if you wanted it to be ironic, the work trucks definitely need to go, but either way thank you for the explanation.

Thank you for the critique! I can see how having the background vacant would have dramatically helped the effect.
