DUH, From the GOVERNMENT report today.

176k was ADP's private sector # (Partisan hacks cite that one).

80K BLS report today is the official, overall number.

Show us. The 80,000 comes from Hilda Solis, the Secretary of Labor, Obama's cabinet person.

Look, I don't like Romney, but only some 80,000 jobs were added, less than the projections..

This report is potentially bad news for Obama. We'll see if it reflects in the polls....

My daughter and her husband just got promotions adding over 10k a year to their income. We just sold the house my son remodeled for a 30k profit which will pay for his sophomore year of college. All the signs I am seeing are positive. The house across the street just sold for 5k over the asking price in 3 days. There are a lot of positive signs out there if you look.

A pathetic quarter now. (No amount of "Yes, We Cans" can spin that)

I really hope Obama runs on this optimistic view of the economy.
