I’ve seen a lot on the 4,000 from the household survey. But here’s the key phrase from the article:

“However, this follows an outsized gain of 683,000 in October and 232,000 in September, leaving the three-month moving average still up a healthy 306,000”

...leaving the three-month moving average still up a healthy 306,000...

True, 306K jobs/month average will go a long way to meeting the needs of the 187K/month growth in the population and the 268K/month that were discouraged and are slowly moving back into the workforce.   That said, the bottom line is that the situation is horrible --and that's good news because the fear was that things were worse than horrible. 

The numbers are sobering enough with employment almost keeping up w/ population and the good news is that we're keeping what we got.  The bad news is we don't want to keep what we got, we need to get back what we had six years ago when 16 million people lost their jobs and have yet to get them back--

--and 3 million of those who managed to stay on the payrolls but were cut down to part time status.

That’s a good analysis and a real opportunity for conservatives. The difference is Obama & Co.’s devastating war on commerce and productivity. Over the next two years the GOP Congress needs to send Obama a pro-growth bill a week. Ideally, targeting the states that the GOP needs to defend in 2016 so they can keep Congress.

Keep burying Obama and the Congressional Democrats. Destroy their brand and we can hold Congress for a generation of great change.

There are 92 million Americans not working. That’s an incredible waste of human potential (note I didn’t say capital - that’s a media trap).
