What it means is that Greenspan does not believe the 32 K new jobs. On the other hand if the figure of 600 000 + jobs is true, and the news of the very large productivity increase (but also increase in production costs) then this raise is probably needed. Probably. The productivity report today indicated that compensation costs are up. That indicates that employment is much better than reported.
MEDIA IS WINNING.
------
Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans now say the economy is getting worse. That's up from 48% before Friday's report. Just 36% say the economy is getting better, down from 37%.

If I get a job by the election I'm voting for Bush. If not, I'm voting for Kerry.
