A new trick, compare monthly numbers to previous high growth months then voila,a negative sounding report. This way job growth can be reported as a negative.
The good news is you can't spin the economy, Americans actually live in the US economy as opposed to say Iraq.

I have a sister who worked for Dow Chemical and was laid off last month. The company announced that it was laying off 35 workers, and a week later the same company announced it was hiring 30 workes for a new latex plant. The workers could have been re-trained or transferred. They did ask my sister if she wanted to go back (with less pay, of course), and she told them to go where the sun doesn't shine.
Sometimes I don't understand big corporate decisions.

I oversee online marketing and advertising for a company.
First rule of numbers, don't compare this month's profit to last month's, or this month's costs to last month's cost.
Always compare, this month's numbers to numbers of the same month, one year ago!!!

"...but companies do not announce hires as frequently as they announce layoffs."
hmmm.... so why is it worth reporting what they announce if it's not accurate? Maybe 8000000000000 people were hired unanounced. What are we learning in this story? Lazy @ss biased reporter....

let's just wait for the monthly jobs report for July on Friday.

Reuters....
why am i unimpressed.
To: Willie Green
That's funny, since this was just reported yesterday;
"About 247,000 jobs were probably created, more than twice as many as in June, the Labor Department is expected to report Friday." (Manufacturing, Hiring Picked Up in July: U.S. Economy Preview Aug. 1 (Bloomberg))
Of course Willie has to search far and wide for his doom and gloom propaganda to maintain his negative FR campaign.
By the way, during the past 7 months of block-busting GOOD economic and employment news, did Willie manage to post ONE positive post?
Poor Willie.
Sad Willie.
Poor, sad Willie.

Doomed, we're all destined for the scrap heep! There is no hope. There is no future. There is only Doom, and maybe some Gloom, but only when there is no Doom. In other words there can and will be only Doom and Gloom, except when there's no hope. Except when it's over and you can hear a fat lady singing, unless you hear Willie singing, oh never mind.

How do you manage to find all these negative articles? Do you have google news alerts send you an email every time there's a new article with the word "layoff" in the article? Does your mailbox overflow? Or do you just do searches in Yahoo News or Google News every 20 minutes for the word Layoff? It just seems like all you ever post here is something with the word in it...
