No, it is a report issued by the employment consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a private firm that is well respected in the business community. It is different than the government reports.
The real jobs report comes out tomorrow.
That'll give you time to read this article first:
New Labor Department Report Reflects Bush Administration's Lack of Seriousness...
layoffs at large companies are definetly picking up - especially tech and tech services (banks, etc). the jobs we add are the usual suspects - more malls means more walmarts, more retail stores, more Outback steak houses - and those new employees are where the job growth is coming from. toss in health care and government job growth.
ROFLOL!
I think their's could be off because of all the natural disasters that the US has had in the last few months. Many people were out of work when they had to flee to get out of the way of the hurricanes, and when you think about it, FL especially, has been hit hard. Naturally, the job claims are going to go through the roof there and in ALL the states where businesses were wiped out. That said, it would be unfair to use this as an accurate report.
Seems like you're trying to hit the President fairly hard and rooting for that whackjob Patty Boy...sad...but hey people like you can celebrate if you help to elect Kerry..jobs won't really matter much after that...
150,000 new jobs expected
The economy probably added 150,000 jobs in September and the unemployment rate held steady at 5.4%, a three-year low, according to a survey of economists.
The government will issue its report Friday - less than a month before the presidential election.
More jobs would have been added if hurricanes hadn't struck the southeast, economists said.
Henry Willmore at Barclays Capital said Hurricane Ivan on Sept. 16 shaved as many as 30,000 jobs from last month's figures and maybe more. Even so, the projected increase for September compares with 144,000 positions added in August.
Payrolls began to recover in August from a midyear lull. Employers added on average about 225,000 positions each month from January through May, and fewer than 100,000 in June and July.
A sustained rebound in hiring is necessary for the economy to gather momentum, economists said.
"Corporate chieftains are still cautious with respect to new hiring," said Richard Yamarone, chief economist at Argus Research. "They're challenged by skyrocketing health and benefit costs. You throw in energy and it doesn't help the situation either.

So you've been around here a long time. Large deal. My GOP brother has been on DU since its inception and has the same negative gig as you do, only in reverse.
BTW, my first dealings on FR were in the summer of 97. Still have boxes of hard copy to prove it.
"Fairly" is the correct word.
My criticism is honestly based on positions that I held long before he even anounced his Y2K candidacy, and I provide substantive articles, opinions and data to support my opinions. As a conservative, I do NOT utilize the fabricated pack of lies the 'Rats harp on to smear the president, but that doesn't mean I'll give him a free-pass to snooker us as well.
Well Elvis, it's not as if I really give a rat's patoot.
When it comes right down to it, I find idiotic babblings and accusations about DU to be adolescent and boring as hell.
Poor Willie.
Sad Willie.
Poor, sad Willie.

Forest River plans
Of the seven new plants Forest River is building, three will be used for new products that are under development.
However, owner Pete Liegl said he wasn't ready to announce what the new products would be. He said Forest River might unveil one or more of the new products at the National Trade RV Show in Louisville, Ky., which begins Nov. 30.
"We've got three new products coming out, and I'd love to put them in the first buildings," Liegl said. "But I need those for existing products."
Production is expected to begin when the plants are completed in February, March and April. But a bad winter could delay plant construction and subsequently push back production, Liegl said.

Take you LIBERAL FUNDAMENTALIST religion that you are trying to force on others and go (insert Dick Cheney quote here).
And, for maximun slitter-comfort, the tub should be fairly full of warm (100-105 F) water, with about one TBS salt/gallon.
Once slit, submerge forearms, lay back, and doze off as warmth and blood loss bring on ennui.
I can speak for Seattle only. The economy has yet to recover.
That sounds very nice... until you try to explain why wages are still going up.
But truth never seems to get in the way of this ridiculous propaganda, so carry on.
Bullfeathers. You consistently only show the negative side of things, even when you have to scrape bottom to find something negative. You rarely, if ever, address counterpoints - except of course to throw in your obligatory whine about how people are slurring you. Poor baby.
Of course not, since the Reuter's story - slanted as it was too - had these two sentences:
"Historically, the period from September 1 through December 31 is when we see the heaviest downsizing and this year appears to be on track to repeat that trend," said John Challenger, chief executive officer of the firm.One Friday, the government will report on the U.S. employment situation in September. It will be the last official report before the presidential elections. Economists polled by Reuters forecast a 148,000 rise in non-farm payrolls for September compared with a 144,000 rise in August.
