detroit as we speak. this is great. of course the mayor's spokesman and the entire political regime in detroit proven itself capable doing anything positive. his spokesman is complaining about this. melissa: is a goat. >> might as well be a goat. the goats do better job than she does. they're complain about it. >> i'm very tempted to go -- meee. i like goats. melissa: you like billy goats or all goats? >> goats are smart animals and mischievous. they're a bit cranky. they can climb like nobody's business. melissa: do you think they will gnaw down some of the blighted property? what is the plan i wonder? >> maybe working with the housing authority in concert to meek it happen. melissa: it could be. you guys are good sports. this is a little odd but still fun. thank you. all right, coming up the big jobs delusion. cheers from all sides as the economic recovery continues. all the jobs that have been lost during the recession now, well, they have been regained. tell that to the millions of college grads that are now doing work that doesn't even require a

little, right? uncertainty on it. a little pull back today. melissa: absolutely. nicole, thank you so much. welcome to the barbell economy. we finally recovered all the 8.7 million jobs lost during the recession but as low and high-skilled jobs make up total market, middle class jobs seem to be gone for good. this is rough news for all the new college grads, more than half who actually found jobs in the last few years don't even need for degrees for the jobs they managed to land. joining me our very own charlie gasparino and economist peter morici and united advisors scott martin. this is the day we'll hear the mainstream media jumping inand down, for joy, whoo, we made back all the jobs of the everything is good. peter, is it all better? >> absolutely not. if you divide the employers into the third, lowest paying third, middle third and upper third, since the beginning of the financial crisis, lowest paying third added 2 million jobs.

the middle third lost two million jobs. we're becoming a greek tragedy. we're becoming a tourist country with restaurants and mcdonald's and workers picketing outside. the other thing barack obama can't do with free health care and chips and the rest get any decent-paying jobs created. melissa: yeah. charlie gasparino. >> we said on the show many times, if you look at the numbers from american enterprise, if you want to be a computer programmer and write code you can get a job pretty easy. peep on upper end can get jobs. if you want to flip ham bursters and barista at starbucks you can get those jobs. what do you mean any jobs, 75 in certain parts the country and 375 in certain parts parts of the country. those are good paying jobs. melissa: sound like a lot of money. >> new york, 275 when you have two kids, school, it goes fast. those are the jobs that are theket getting cut during this great expansion we've had here

and it is pretty scary. we have -- by the way i remember when ronald reagan was president the media going nuts about the rich getting richer and poor get poorer. that has been happening -- melissa: more so than really ever before. scott martin, when we talk about replaced 8.7 million jobs that disappeared nobody adds we added 15 million people. >> that is big cultural factor, populationwise, melissa, that isn't talked about, because that factor doesn't work, because it doesn't sound too good when put into context by the department of labor. charlie and peter's points, it is well-taken. if you look at middle class or medium paying jobs, charlie said, barack obama said those are high paying jobs even if you live in new york, those jobs are going overseas. those are going to areas where capital is flowing because more effective. cheaper and less regulation. so companies dot smart thing because they have stockholders and sending jobs there. frankly those jobs are not coming back. >> the president doesn't understand the type of country

we have really. one of the things about america, this is not europe. i have family in europe. they have zero population growth. people have kids in country. we have been nation of immigration. people are willing to come and expand and work cheaply. you can't have this situation where there is no decent social mobility. it is a recipe for massive unrest. we can all sit there and turn our nose up to those protesters which i do at times. i think the advocacy for higher minimum wage hurts them in the long run. getting aside there is reason they're protesting, jobs on the bottom are there but you can't move up there is no social mobility. melissa: that's a good point a lot of people make. we are heading towards some serious insurrection or unrest along the way. >> happening right now. melissa: if we get on the path. >> we'll have debtors rebellion. the president is basically subsidizing all kind of young people to go to college and take global studies feminist studies,

upset with your parents studies. >> they're home with their parents. >> and half a million of them work at minimum wage. why? basically he is paying off a bunch of left-wing college professors to educate these kids to be unhappy. and they come out and wonder why they don't have a job. guess what happens, guys? when was last time the president of the united states go to american high school and talk about a career in engineering as opposed to a career in social welfare. >> or learn how to write a coherent sentence. >> they know how to appeal their grades. melissa: guys, thanks so much. when it comes to investing, why you should be like mike when you can thrill like bill and quarrel like carl. how ackman and icahn became the hottest role models on wall street. the she economy rises up. real housewife heather thompson explains why brand can't shrink it and think it anymore. more "money" on the way. ♪ (mother vo) when i was pregnant...

melissa: not jacking around. a new report suggests that apple is planning to abandon its traditional headphone jack. is this is the true reason the tech titan spent $3 billion on beats? here is tech entrepreneur amed shaw and jo ling kent and fox

news contributor jonathan hoenig. do you believe this? >> you know what? i actually think it's a great idea for apple, right? i have the beats device right here. not only do i own a apple device but when they switched over the iphone 5 they had the adapter here. no issue. my wife has one. we all have one. the acquisition has been great. the jack will help. one things these beats didn't have, they had great fashion, consumer design but the quality wasn't as good. so this jack will help with the battery. will help with better sound. i'm a big believer for it. melissa: jo, do you agree? >> this is interesting for people who want to enter the market and get into apple, it creates an extra hurdle if it indeed happens. if you have more people who have to get a different jack or lightning thing has certain technology they're talking about that is being reported it actually presents an extra hurd dill which is problem but for apple -- melissa: why does it present an extra hurd dill? it just goes into the jack with your phone, right?

authorities to go to the red planet are getting stronger and stronger. they say the only thing in their way, well, is a couple things. one is the sheer cost of such a venture now estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. one group not letting that get in the way is mars one. it is an organization that is planning to put colony on mars in the next 10 years or so. they have been busy short listing candidates all with unique talents and traits. one thing that unites all of them their willingness to leave it behind and never come back. joining me is one of those people. max, first of all, how did you make yourself so unique that you got on the short list? what is unique and special about you that you get to go to mars? >> i guess probably my past. i've been working toward this goal basically my entire life academically and professionally. that is not what many people had to do and that makes me a candidate. melissa: how do you feel about the fact it's a one-way ticket? how does your family feel about
