A 1,000 new jobs is better than 0 new jobs or a minus 1,000 new jobs. If we had 25,000 new jobs, you would still complain. New jobs is just one among many factors to look at as for as the economy. The TREND in new job is just as important.

The trend needs to be stronger. A lot stronger. The economy needs to produce about 150,000 (that's what the estimates were for todays numbers) new jobs a month to keep up with new entrants into the job market. If it were 25,000 that would only qualify as "not as bad" as 1000, but still bad.

I find it hard to believe that we are going to produce any real increase in jobs with all them going overseas. On top of that government spending is going hog wild. The dollar is droping and the few jobs that are left are about to be all taken by illegals. Does not look or feel good to me.
