Aren't most teenagers still in school for this period? It's not a summer unemployment report...
Thanks.
JH2: Seconded!
MODERATOR: We have a second. All those in favor of thanking George W. Bush?
CROWD: AYE!!!
MODERATOR: Opposed?
LONE VOICE: nay.
MODERATOR: Shut up, Willie. Motion carries. Thank you, George W. Bush.
Their talking points will shift to NO net jobs created by President Bush, vs. millions created by Klinton... They will also talk up the deficit... and of course pull out the race card wherever they can.
I'd put NOTHING past these scum.
It'll never happen... Rove and co. would use it in campaign ads...
It's easy enough to separate those who require jobs as necessities and those who require jobs for other reasons.
Those who are claimed as dependents should not be part of these numbers. They are not a reflection of unemployment.
Another way is to remove their numbers entirely and report them separately as a statistic of interest to the economy.
In any case, school is letting out right about now. The May numbers WOULD be for teenagers who were predominantly in school. Therefore, the numbers are those for teenagers who predominantly are dependents on someone else's tax return.
Koblenz is a neat town along the Rhine in Germany...on the road to Cologne. There was a Birkenstock shoe factory outlet nearby that my wife would shop at every now and then.
hanoi john and tommy dashole are very deeply saddened
"I think I'm gonna get some outrageously expensive lunch today.
And buy an assault weapon this weekend."
Cool! I'm going to go find some beautiful desert scenery this weekend, and then drive over it. ;)
Average hours and overtime hours are both higher - rather
significant rises since last quarter '03. This is not the
end of the beginning of this cycle... it still looks very
robust and healthy to me and we may still be in the starting
blocks.
Also, amazingly enough, there has been a constant number over
that time for "govt jobs".
The internals are all pointing to a very healthy and balanced
expansion now.
Your second picture reminds me that I have got to mow this weekend!
248,000 payroll jobs added in May; Jobless rate: 5.6% At this rate, I don't think the 'RATS/Kerry will be able to use jobs and the economy against Bush/GOP this fall !Yep ! You're right, John. Lil tommy is .....
Saddened, deeply saddened . . .
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Hi, there, and welcome! Thanks for the info on ABC radio....I will probably hear that on the next news report and your warning will keep me from hitting the radio with a large object!
"What is really key is that every major sector had improvements," said John Silvia, chief economist for Wachovia Securities. "That suggests these gains are sustainable."
I will bet any amount that the MAIN STREAM MEDIA/PRESS will report this ONCE, then follow up with spin that will emulate the Democrat negative 'talking points'.....then quietly bury it beneath Abu Gharib prisoner abuse stories.
April went from 288K to 346K
March went from 337K to 353K
I'm not at all surprised. I suspected that the April numbers there were very unlikely.
Actually, CBS radio news DID lead with this, and in a very positive light, at their 9AM news broadcast. However, they are often quite a bit more balanced in their reporting, so it is not indicative about how the TV will play this.
.
There will definitely be a labor shortage soon, at least a shortage of technical-types.
I notice that the "telecom" sector has not yet started to put on weight. That will come in time, before this cycle is much more underway. When that starts, the demand for tech labor is going to skyrocket.
I would not at all be surprised if that is starting RIGHT now as the smartest companies look at the economy and anticipate that they would rather try to pick them now before the labor market tightens further.
"I will probably hear that on the next news report and your warning will keep me from hitting the radio with a large object!"
Wow! I know the feeling. We've got (almost) all conservative radio here in Pittsburgh but they play ABC news during the breaks and it just infuriates me. And I've heard ABC was the LEAST biased!!! Hard to believe...
Good luck with your WMD hunt.
Make sure to take your mask and camera.
Can I come, too?
.
" I'm going out to look for the WMD now. The way things are going, I'll probably find 'em."
Now wouldn't that be a hoot. Stay tuned, Bush looks too happy these days.
