How many times do these “experts” need to be surprised before they’re not experts any more?

And what's going to happen now that the stimulus is wearing off and States are laying off workers?

Are Dems giving the private sector incentive to absorb these workers?

Nope. Expect jobless claims to increase.

"The move was completely opposite of expectations," said Jeffrey Rosen, an economist with Briefing.com.

On a first glance I thought it said, "Rosen, an economist with BARFING.com"...

“unexpected” my arse. How the hell can jobs be restored when just about everything you buy is not made in the USA. Green jobs, stimulus and tax cuts are illusions. We have to make more of what we import to restore jobs and retain dollars. The jobs economy is a bipartisan failure in Washington. No wonder the country is rebelling against the do-nothing PAC financed leaders.

Definite proof that an Ivy League “Education”, as with most other things liberal, is anything but.

Won’t get any better anytime soon. The market is about to be flooded with undergrads and high school students looking for summer work and graduates looking for full time work.

"The strengthening of the labor market is a myth, or at least that is what the latest piece of data from the Department of Labor would suggest," Rosen said.

I guess last week's rise in unemployment wasn't enough to figure this out.

We live in a false front country right now. Believe nothing of interpretation or 'analysis' and little else. Believe no government releases, ever.
