The White House says that the August jobs report shows that the nation is continuing to recover, despite more Americans giving up their job search.
Alan Krueger, chairman for the White House Council of Economic Advisers, writes in The White House Blog that it is important to not read too much into just one monthly jobs report.

I seem to recall them saying this same thing for the previous two months if I remember right. So at what point do three monthly jobs report become a trend that trumps "a single jobs report"?
Right, and if it had been good they would have been all over it.
Three shows a recession. Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
Seems as though this job report was set up in the media to justify QE3
Bast**d!
How bout the homeless reports? We don’t hear about those until a republican is in office. Same as jobs reports.
Try this:
Sheeeeshh...
Um, yeah, sure thing. Right-o. This one job report must be an outlier, right?
Hope and Change is soo awesome /sarc
Red Badger, you beat me to it.
ilgipper, love your idea. I’d add in all the times when they use the word “unexpected” or “unexpectedly.” I think it would be hilarious (but sad).
The unemployment rate “unexpectedly” went up this month.... How many times did we hear that? Or the number of new jobs was not as high as “expected.”
We’ve got some real geniuses making these predictions. Even the weatherman has a better record than these guys. I think we could do better with a dart board and a drunken blind man.
Fine, I’ll ignore this one, and ONLY look at the past 4 years.
Don’t read too much into the threats of Marxism folks. /s
Screw that. This economy is a disaster.
We have one more monthly jobs report before the election, and that one will be the most important one going in to the November 6 because most recent.
WHAT IF the Obama administration gets the agency to report, in early October, a major turnaround of say 400,000 new jobs, so that Obama gets an artificial boost, and then that gets "adjusted downwards" in November when it's too late?
