Yep. and zero jobs was probably fudged upwards as well.

We know that the discouraged workers number MUST be something, so that means this is WORSE than zero jobs....it's NEGATIVE growth.

So the ADP numbers out on Tuesday were wrong again for the 8th straight month. Why even have them.

Am I the only one who reads these headlines on Drudge and is reminded of the opening to the original Red Dawn?

My job is ending soon, I am a seasonal worker.

But I have out of state work lined up, cash under the table.

No paper trail.

I hope someone in a federal or state office knows that when a man gets backed into a corner in a somewhat still free society and is intelligent and not a lazy slacker he WILL survive by becoming creative, and we WILL give the socialists the finger while we are doing it.

Bless you, FRiend.

You take care of yourself/your family. That’s the first priority and these incompetent socialists deserve both the finger and an active black market.

Obama will cite this as an emergency to pass his “jobs bill” which will make “Stimulus” a permanent thing.

We never left the first recession...

Absolutely right.

The economy bottomed-out in the summer of 2009 and rebounded slightly because employers cut more than necessary to survive.

Since that point, we have been bouncing along a flat line with no signs of growth.

We actually lost 200k jobs because 87k was added for birth death model and we need 125k a month to stay even.

WHAT A DISASTER

RESIGN OBAMA!
