“providing another sign that the labor market is healing” . . . it’s not healing . . . it’s bled out!
They know that if a Pubbie ever manages to get elected he’d correct the numbers and unemployment would immediately surge to 27 1/2 %.
HELOOOOOOO!!!!
There’s nobody left to lay off!
Damn, that Obamanomics is miraculous.....
More reason to believe the Bull Market is going to continue to run. They’ll be pullbacks now and again, but we could be looking at Dow 16-17k this year.
At the current rate of net hiring, the years required to get back to pre-recession employment rates will be over SEVEN YEARS.
That’s a post-Depression high. No other recession has ever been this bad.
Every single policy implemented has been counterproductive.
At the rate we’re going, we will encounter the next recession before we ever recover from this one.
4WMA is the lowest since November 2007 and well within (actually below) average (average since 1963 - 363,500).
Its not the report...its the revision that tells the tale.
that’s why you look at the 4 week average. It smooths the revisions from the initial estimates.
People’s unemployment benefits have run out and they’ve moved back in with Mommy and Daddy and given up searching . The 0 bean punters aren’t that bright.

Looks like a regular cycle. We are approaching the next minimum and spike.

Were you raised on the farm? This reminds me of something I have posted more than once in the past about how when I was a boy we would pick a frosty Saturday to kill and butcher a hog. My father would go out early to the pen and shoot the hog in the brainpan with a .22 short and then he would roll him on his back and thrust a long knife into the heart resulting in a spout of blood three feet into the air. Of course this spout soon began to weaken and drop lower and lower. The people who report on the labor market would have said the hog was “recovering” simply because the bleeding was slowing.

You may be mistakig mendacity for stupidity.
I’ll believe the economy is back when the car dealers lots are near empty. Every dealer’s overflow lots have overflow lots. They are paying interest on all these cars usually monthly.
Even used car lots are full.
--still hasn't recovered from the financial crisis even after five long years of struggle...
Small business owners have laid off everyone except their spouses in their empty shops. Fewer fired but still fewer hired is not the way to heal this moribund economy.
