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!

The current excuse is... we are STARTING to make progress... give Obama a few more years and the uptrend will translate to a boom.

I'll be surprised if the "official" number matches this. The two are rarely in synch.

don’t forget- they were “McJobs” that were being created as well... McDonalds now hires 70K people and its looked upon as a victory...
