Fourth Straight Month of Strong US Hiring Expected (MSM Asylum News Center)
AP via Google News ^ | April 6, 2012 | Paul Wiseman

The U.S. economy probably generated more than 200,000 jobs in March, capping the best four months of hiring since before the recession.

Economists expect that U.S. employers added 210,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate remained at 8.3 percent for the third straight month, according to a survey by FactSet.

The Labor Department will release the March employment report at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.

If the forecast proves correct, the economy would have added an average of 236,000 jobs per month since December. That's the most for a four-month period in almost six years. It would also mark the first time the economy has created at least 200,000 jobs in four straight months since early 2000.

"The labor market is steadily, if slowly, strengthening," says Steven Wood, chief economist at Insight Economics.

Stock markets will be closed and bond markets will close early for Good Friday.

An improving job market could boost President Barack Obama's chances of winning a second term. This year's election is expected to hinge on the state of the economy.

Wow. This is unprecedented even for the MSM. Peruse through any news gathering/individual news source, and you get nothing but how poorly the economy is doing. Even the "venerable" New York Times, and I use the word "venerable" in same way I consider Obama "venerable" for telling reporters of 60 Minutes, some of whom have been around long as there have been presidents he considers himself the fourth best President of all time, has lacked the testicular fortitude, the embolden chutzpah they usually conjure up to spin the news about the economy into anything remotely untruthful, yet these guys at AP have no compunction to concoct utter economic BS as if it were some addendum to Grimm. Unbelievable.

The media doubles down on the lie.

Guess they wanted to get one more good headline in before they print a retraction.

Where's the bullshit alert? Do we have to continuously have Unemployment lies spouted from the DNC to the State-Run-Media, when even the NYT reports on the shennanigans:

All of those store closings, layoff reports, housing slump depth records, lack of help wanted ads, and unemployed people just wandering around looking for ANYTHING...

Just ignore all of that.

“Stock markets will be closed and bond markets will close early for Good Friday.”

Wait a minute. I thought we were no longer a Christian nation. This is outrageous. How dare the stock markets foist their religious values on us law-abiding secular humanists?

Somebody call Eric Holder or maybe Big Sis and nip this thing in the bud.

Which is closer to the truth? MSM reports of Obama’s employment statistics or of Romney’s delegate leads?

“...boost President Barack Obama’s chances of winning a second term...”

No sweat. The greatest and most brilliant man ever to be elected to the Presidency will win a second term because the people are very smart and know that President Obama is the greatest man who ever walked the face of the earth. /S/

Oh heck no, they love their 3 day weekend as much as the next guy and the unions would throw a hissy fit if they lost a day off.

Except of course the number of jobs added was only 120000. I still say the books are being cooked

It takes about 125,000 new jobs monthly just to absorb new entrants in the job market, i.e., those graduating from high school and college. Thus, right now, there’s a net 75,000 new jobs for existing job seekers. With approximately 10,000 municipalities and towns in the U.S., that’s 7.5 new jobs per town fox existing job seekers.

The Brookings Institutes estimates a monthly jobs creation rate of 200,000 jobs per month will take until 2020 to bring us back to historic employment rates.

Yes, AP, happy days are indeed here again! And we have your hand-picked Marxist economic genius President Obama to thank for all of this economic gloriousness!

...and completely refute AP's slavishly fawning praise of Obama's economic agenda.

If a republican was the president these jobs created would be only low paying hamburger flipping jobs.

They wrote a bogus story based on non-existent data and it is still on the website hours after the data has been posted.

How typical of MSM.

HAHAHA remember about a year ago when McDonalds was going to hire 50,000 new workers. The MSM touted this with trumpets and heralded Obama as being the greatest job creation president ever!!!!

The big lie starts... we'll soon hear about the "best economy" in 40 years... inflation is at an all time low and employment numbers are better than under 8 years of Bush.

Just lies.... the government is now Pravda with it's 7 year plans and talk about "great production" from the people's farms... and on and on.. Bullsh#t.
