How many of the jobs were spatula-ready?
“UNEXPECTED”
BOTTOMS UP!
Those numbers mean we are just standing still. They are just enough to compensate for the additional workers coming into the workforce. We have lost 8 million jobs.
157K is nothing. But they will trumpet this based on how low Obama has made expectations. And bcause they are in the tank.
Remember. When Bush was creating 250K in the run up to 04 elections, the media mocked it as barely treading water (and this was with an unemployment rate at 4.5%, full employment).
Now with 9% unemployment, 150K jobs is fantastic.
LOL!
Success! We’re staying even!
It’s sort of like kissing your sister, but better!
How many hours does that actually mean?
If they were all full time jobs, which I highly doubt, it would represent 6.280,000 hours gain per week.
If most were part-time jobs, the hours of pay (of which the money could technically be added to the economy) wouldn't add up to a decent pot of beans.....
How many of these jobs were temp summer jobs?
