Serious long term unemployment continues to worsen.
Also, no measure of voluntary layoffs and forced early retirements.

CNBC termed the 103K figure “robust” job growth. This, of course, includes the return to work of soe 45,000 Verizon workers.
“Robust” would’ve given way to “abysmal” or “meager” had a Republican been sitting in the WH.

the change for August was revised from 0 to +57,000 Which tells me they don't know sh*t about measuring employment data. An "adjusted" gain of 57K, huh?

Because CNBC is a POS-filled propaganda network shilling for EVIL.
(That’s why!)

I don’t believe those numbers either.
Besides, the monthly unemployment rate is polled, not actual real numbers......

One bright spot:
Government employment continued to trend down over the month (-34,000). The U.S. Postal Service continued to lose jobs (-5,000). Local government employment declined by 35,000 and has fallen by 535,000 since September 2008.

This has to be explained each and every month, so why should this month be any different
the 401K increase in first-time jobless claims measures ONLY the number of people who filed for unemployment for the first time in a given week
The payroll number of +103K is a different survey, derived from a survey of U.S. employers, private and government. It measures the net change in the number of non-farm workers on payrolls. Every month, many employers dismiss workers and many hire workers. The headline jobs number reports the aggregate of all of those employer payrolls.
The jobless rate is a different survey, derived from a poll of people at their homes. This is a ratio of people who are unemployed and still looking for a job divided by the total labor pool. So about 9-plus percent of the labor pool is out of work.
