Any number below 400,000 means job additions.
``As the economy continues to pick up speed, firms should begin to increase their hiring,'' Moskow said.
We're all doomed.

When, we have been hearing this for months.

Well, it is doom and gloom if you happen to be one of those out of work for >6 months and still looking. I was out for just over 18 months and believe me,
every single day seemd worse than the day before.
Overall, we are doing better, but until hiring picks up the economy will be vulnerable, and so will Bush.

Then it is time for the politicians to start hearing us, on free traded (to dang costly if you ask me) and the economy.

"Companies trying to hold down costs have been reluctant to add to payrolls, instead using gains in efficiency to meet demand while the expansion gains momentum. The economy may have grown in the July-September quarter at the fastest pace since the first three months of 2002, according to a Bloomberg survey. "
Companies are not done with gains in efficiency

I agree, but they do remind us of our vulnerability, and that is important. It shows us one of the fronts the Rats will use in their run for Presidency.

All those posts can go in a forum called "Wallowing" where they can be easily found by anyone who enjoys them without having to search for them.

How many weeks will it take to gain back the 2 million jobs lost - at the rate of 1,000 per week (400,000 - 399,000 = 1,000). How many weeks left before the '04 elections?
I admire your eternal hope to see the good side of all economic news. I usually think of this "blinded by the light..." after reading your comments.

They already are, I go to college two nights a week to improve my skill set. In the science building the young democrats club has signs out commenting on the lose of jobs and asking people if they think there will be jobs around when they graduate. The job issue is an important issue in this election.

I usually think of this "blinded by the light..." after reading your comments. And I think of the doom and gloomers as a bunch of people who think that worrying constantly somehow makes them seem more "concerned" or "in touch". Pure silliness, but it's exactly what Dan Rather and CNN count on.

I can feel your pain - see I am concerned about your mental well-being. Hug, hug, kiss, kiss.
I think of myself as a realist & the numbers are not good. I wish it were otherwise - but wishing won't make it so - we're still on this side of the rainbow Toto.
To: Consort
You can talk about the economy being better, and no one will personally attack you. No one is attacking Bush for these layoffs here - they blame Climtons's "globalization" slavery policies, which brought us here.
With that being said, your ugliness to those who are paying the price for Clinton's perfidy insinuates that you do not belong here. Rather than creating a "wallowing forum", perhaps you should go create some jobs if it's so damn easy.

I think of myself as a realist & the numbers are not good. They're not? I think they're about as great as any people in the history of the world have ever had it.
