WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Job growth decelerated sharply in May, the Labor Department said Friday. Total nonfarm payrolls increased by 54,000, much lower than the 125,000 gain expected by Wall Street economists. This is the smallest increase in nonfarm payroll since September. The unemployment rate ticked higher 9.1% in May from 9.0% in the previous month.

And you wonder why a lot of people think unless Obama reduces the size of government, cleans up the income tax system and reigns in the excesses of Wall Street, he will be officially “toast” on November 2012.
You have to wonder why it’s so important for Democrats to get elected. And, if it is so important to them, how far will they go to protect their gravy train? If things continue to be bad, Obama shouldn’t take any trips to Arkansas.
We're just being more European (read: socialist).
Structurally high unemployment is what all socialist countries get.
May have found something interesting in Table-A-9

Uh, no thanks. My liver is already shot from all the "unexpecteds" during this admin.
Wow!!! Brilliant!!
The local pravada paper Pioneer Press stopped allowing people to post comments on their site any more
- I have a feeling it was due to the fact comments were typically 3-1 against TOTUS and his failed economy.
Truly twisted!
Has anybody heard what the U-6 rate is?
“Seriously, it is now time for the Democrat Party to take some very serious action and force POTUS Obama out of office, either by his resignation or impeachment.”
Better yet, the people should march on Washington peacefully, but in the spirit of the Egyptians, demanding he answer for his job killing policies. THAT will get results faster than anything democrats might do.
He’s on TV taking a victory lap at a Chrysler plant. I’m glad he’s doing that because all he does is remind the vast majority that he saved union jobs and no others. It’s a vote losing issue but he’s not intelligent enough to understand that.
But it's a very appropriate, if not accurate, portrayal of what's going on: "One Ring to rule them all..."
HA....Everytime someone at the store says...”prices just keep going up, don’t they” or something similar....I say....”HOW’s that HOPE and Change going for ya!?”
The Obama adminstration passed the Road to Recovery a few thousand miles back, won’t admit they’re lost, and won’t ask for directions.
However, the economy is showing no sign of recovery.
... guess we now know why we’ve had the wienergate major distraction for the past week. these commies are so predictable. but there’s not much they can do to distract our attention from this very negative employment report... unless space-aliens suddenly land on the Earth (please, please, come and take obama and his minions too) !!!
Oh really? Did Bri-Bri get into a tiff with his BFF? Well gosh, I hope Bri-Bri's panties are in such a twist he can't even bow to the Unholy Won for a while.
...very funny, Bri-Bri is a dog’s name ... guess brian is a lapdog. Now that really bites when your lapdog starts turning on you.
