Unexpected?

[ez]

Ha ha ha, does anyone remember them making excuses for Bush?

And btw, EVERY jobs report I see uses te word “unexpected.” Don’t these people understand that once you get it wrong every month for two solid years, people quit listening to you?

From my very limited survey, some holiday hires were kept on board for a couple weeks for inventory.

[Roccus]

UE offices were open only 4 days last week.

[HarleyD]

It’s been “unexpected” for the last 24 months.

BTW-I have yet to read that the last three months lower job losses may have been because stores hired extra workers for the shopping holiday. Now that the holidays are over, they’re laying off those workers. DUH!!!

I sure don’t.

Which makes all the insane banter here at FR about a MSM deathwatch absolutly ridiculous,

Betcha there are tens of thousands of “Winning the Future” T-shirts in warehouses somewhere that will never see the light of day, all because of your gal-pal “Precious.”

I tuned into FOX after Barry the Blowhard gave his little speech. The Frank Luntz panel who watched the speech for FOX all agreed that the recession was not over. Even the people who said they voted for Obama, and even the small handful (3 or 4) who thought he was doing "a good job".

Seems only the state-controlled media thinks it is over. These numbers come out every week, and every week 400,000 people are filing first time claims. This is abysmal!

I'm finally able to say I'm one of them. My unemployment claim was finally approved, and I'm glad I was able to do my part to help doom Barack "WTF" Obama's presidency.

I guess it's my nature to try to make lemonade out of lemons, LOL.

Global warming sneaks in during the night and screws around with the jobless claims numbers. Unexpected? No, just a little bit of WTFery.

[Lurker]

companies are still sitting on cash,

No problem. Just pass a law forcing them to spend it. See how easy it is?

[vpintheak]

Democrat thinking: Since there are more jobless, we must extend jobless benefits. Therefore we will be both buying their votes, and helping them out.

Conservative thinking: Lets cut taxes on both corporations and the individual. Therefore freeing up more money to invest in jobs and people have more money to save and spend

Republican Thinking: Gee, I’d like to do what the conservative thinks, but then people will think I’m mean, so I’ll bloviate about it, and then just do what the democrats want.

[FrankR]

I don't think barry barack hussein obama soetoro jr III ever won anything in his whole, pathetic life; not even the presidency without a whole lotta cheatin' goin' on.

Well, maybe a few rounds of three-card-monte now and then.

Obama doesn't give a damn about anyone's future, but his own.

[pissant]

Absolutely dead nuts on

[MichiganConservative]

Not only unexpected, no one could have ever predicted this!?

WTF, Obama! WTF!

[Freddd]

But Bill Oreilly and the rest of the rich are happy, they are investing again since they didn’t get their taxes raised....gee Obama’s fatcat buddies have even pushed the DOW up to 12,000. That’s why O Reilly is once again cheerleading Obama.

and the rest of the country?, still losing their homes and jobs being forced on to food stamps and death panels...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...it's not time to worry, yet."

Worry? We got Sputnik coming.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

BTW-I have yet to read that the last three months lower job losses may have been because stores hired extra workers for the shopping holiday.

That's because the job gains were due, not to holiday hiring, but to the great economic policies of the Democrats.

And the job losses coming up are not due to the end of temporary holiday jobs, but because those Republicans are in control of the House.

The MSM told me so, I mean, will tell me so.

[Joe Boucher]

I’d like to get a passel of those “winning the future” tee shirts.
I’ll take them to the Smiths Great American Shootout to use as targets next year.
The rest You can use to change your old truck oil.

[gusopol3]

Good luck in finding a good job.
