Wow. We'll have 5% UE or lower just in time for Hillary 2016.
This is why Mr Steal your pension and load you with debt Romney knew he had to win as all the numbers start to run the Dems. way. "The Economist" was predicting this change back in the 90's. If the failed Con. economic theory had worked we would have all been Repub. now.
What did and is still happening is the US is getting very old very fast. As the Boomers like myself hang it up more and more jobs will need to be filled.
Will the "job creators" be willing to pay new hires at a rate which will allow people to take the positions which are now open and hard to fill?
Seasonal jobs you morons. You people do this every year at this time. You're not fooling anybody. Wait until Jan. when you guys are scrambling to find reasons why the UE numbers went back up. Like I said, it happens every year and here you are again....It's quite funny.
The numbers are SEASONALLY ADJUSTED - otherwise the November rate would have been EVEN LOWER.
And NO - the numbers DON'T go up every January (for that very reason).
People are dropping out of the job market because their spouse pays the bills, or they go back to school, they sold their home and are retiring early, they have children and want to be stay at home parents.
And because they get old.
Our country is aging, and we're on the front of the slope of baby boomers hitting retirement age.

I have no doubt that, if Mr. Romney had won the election, his supporters herein would be clamiing that these new, unexpected job numbers were solely due to the new-found optimism by employers.
You are guys are suckers, this is nothing more than the thousands of people in the Dept of Labor manipulating the numbers to get Obama elected... oh wait.
