The new employment numbers are out and they show that unemployment fell to 8.3% in January. Woo-hoo. We added 243,000″ jobs, right?
Not exactly.
From Zero Hedge:
In January, the number of Part Time workers rose by 699K, the most ever, from 27,040K to 27,739K, the third highest number in the history of this series. How about Full time jobs?

Zero Hedge has had two good articles in the last two days at their site. My husband was looking at some of the charts today and what really struck him was the comparison chart between employment for younger people and 55 and older. The Boomers are not retiring and the younger people are not finding work.
