9 months of positive prints (incl 4th positive print in manuf'g, +32k, 3mth avg = +28k)
NFP
3mth avg = +315k
4mth avg = +258k
6mth avg = +200k
9mth avg = +159k
Not to defend the media (perish the thought), but the situations aren't analogous. At this point in '92, the jobless rate was rising, peaking at 7.6% in June and job creation numbers were lackluster, at best. Voters won't be fooled.
That popped out for me, too. Daddy and Mommy make more money today and teens are looking for spending money. It's not like years ago when a lot of the kid's wages went to help out at home.....and we didn't buy $100 sneakers either.
I think back on that Council of Economic Advisers report from January that forecast all those jobs this year, and which President Bush took so much heat over. It's turning out to be true!
Robert Reich's idea of a 'Quality job' is serving an internship in the Clinton White House.
No, I think they will use the "Day After" propaganda film to start blaming Bush for the weather.
Look for the New York Times to bury this on page B18 while they run "ass pyramids"(prisoner abuse) storys for the 45 straight day
but but but what kind of jobs? (said in my best liberal whine)
Equity markets love this report, if futures are any indication.
Great news, thanks for posting, JH2. I have sent it on to family and friends, just in case some newspapers 'forget' to publish this news ;-)
Welcome -- great to 'see' ya, btw! :-)
3 months almost a million jobs
Great to 'see' you too, JH2 :-) Have a great weekend.
1/3 of people hate President Bush. They will be negative about everything that can help him being re-elected. Just do not worry; in a month or two the Bush campaign will make sure that most voters memorize by heart the great economic numbers.
And now let's hear what the Republicans have to say to promote this wonderful news and their response to the media and democrats talking it down...........
Thanks! You have a great weekend too :-)
Amen. Bad news for Lurch :-)
Hi everyone,
Lurker for years. This is my first post/reply.
Seems ABC wins for first spin. ABC radio said the high number of new jobs did NOTHING to help the unemployment rate.
Cheers!!!
the worst 947,000 jobs three month job growth since Hoover!!!!!!!
The REVISED figures for the last 3 months show that nearly 1,000,000 new jobs were created, and the total since September is over 1,400,000. WOW!!!
