Job View Brightens On Growth In Sept. — And August Too
By Kirk Shinkle

Friday’s stronger-than-expected jobs report show a recession is likely off the table, propelling stocks to record highs.

The U.S. economy added 110,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department said, a little higher than expected.

The real bright spot came in the form of revisions to August numbers. Labor says job rolls swelled by 89,000 in August after initially reporting a 4,000-job drop. That was the first decline in four years.

The jobless rate rose to 4.7% in September from 4.6%, but that was due to workers rejoining the job hunt.

“The job situation in America is holding its own,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services. “It turns out the decline in August was a fluke.”

Wages rose handily too, with average hourly earnings soaring 0.4%. Year over year, they rose 4.1%, the most since February.

US Budget Deficit Drops to $161 Billion
By ANDREW TAYLOR,AP
Posted: 2007-10-05 18:50:56

WASHINGTON (AP) - The federal government registered a budget deficit of $161 billion for the just-completed fiscal year, the Congressional Budget office estimated Friday.

The 2007 deficit figure represents considerable improvement over the $248 billion deficit posted last year. It’s even smaller when compared to the size of the economy - the measure deemed most important by economists.

At 1.2 percent of gross domestic product, the fiscal picture is the best it’s been since 2001, the last year the government ran a budget surplus.
