Sequester, so far, is just putting people on furlough. That doesn't show up in employment statistics, since they aren't unemployed. Also the sequester's impacts will be felt over the long-run; it's too soon to see those impacts yet.
Regardless, the sequester has been effect for one month. Do you really think the full impact is reflected in last month's numbers?
It would be easier to understand things if you didn't deliberately blind yourself to anything that goes against your own financial self-interest.
Gee, you are in a tough spot aren't you? Wanting to say yes, sequestration did hurt then wanting the jobs numbers to look good for Obama.
The Repub sequester has not had much impact yet, but it will. So, the GOP efforts to tank the economy still have an ace in their hole plus they will hold debt limit hostage to try to impose further damage. But, I don't think even those efforts are going to slow down the economy.
Typical revisionist liberal history. Sorry, dude. Sequester thought up and signed by this administration.
Such partisan blindness. Obama's "ace in the hole" is to raise taxes. Do you truly believe that doing that won't kill this recovery?
And the sequestration hasn't had an impact, and as you've stated, probably won't. Because most rational Americans realize that we must get our out-of-control federal spending in order.

You are showing the same poison from the other side. The sequester is the law, and Congress wrote it, and Obama sighed it. That is the cold hard truth.
The Repub sequester has not had much impact yet, but it will. So, the GOP efforts to tank the economy still have an ace in their hole plus they will hold debt limit hostage to try to impose further damage. But, I don't think even those efforts are going to slow down the economy.
"The Repub sequester" My God I am constantly amazed at your brilliance.
I am SO glad Obama DIDN'T suggest it and not ONE dem voted for it, therefore it is the repubs.
Let me see if I understand dem speak.
It is Bush's war, even though the Senate Majority Leader and the House Minority Leader both dems, co-sponsored the bill and most promonent dems voted for it. Without those votes the bill would NO have passed and Bush COULDN'T GO INTO IRAQ.
Let's NOT call it America's war, call it Bush's war.
Obama convinces the dem controlled House and Senate to pass a new health insurance bill WITHOUT READING IT and it is dubbed Obamacare, which Obama himself says he likes.
Not 1 repub in EITHER HOUSE voted in favor of it.
The funding, which was the dems responsibility when they passed the bill, now find themselves short, want to blame the repubs.
The sequester was Obama's idea and the dems in both houses voted for it and now the left want to call it, "The Repub sequester"
Do dems EVER take responsibility for ANYTHING they do?
If you want to count the new part time workers, the the economy added 448 000 jobs. You sure you want to look at it that way ?
Yes-
What we are interested in is REAL JOBS, not low paying part time jobs.
An addition of PART TIME JOBS, while losing FULL TIME JOBS, is terrible news.
Now "Finn", can you support your family on a low paying part time job? This news shows a continuing slide to third world status under Obama. These are numbers that only a delusional liberal could love. Why?
1. The job numbers are not high enough to accomodate new entrants into the market
2. The absolute number of citizens unemployed increases
The big news is that unemployment continues to move steadily downward, which is another sign that our economy is moving in the right direction!
Cook the books all you want by picking who does and doesn't count. The Labor Participation rate is 63.3 percent. Same as the month before and lower than the month before that. It is the lowest its been in a long time. The lowering of the workforce percentage is another sign that our economy is moving in the wrong direction!

"98% of what we wanted" --- John Boehner. Voted for by 75% of House Repubs. A bit of non-revisionist history. Just sayin'.

3. There are fewer full time jobs.
So what? We are hip to the game now. It doesn't matter what you make in any area, the business people are going to get you. A loaf of bread down South cost way less than in New York. Same bread and same company. A house in Cali cost way more than one in Arkansas. Its a carrot game. We got burned and now its time to fight back. Less money for 1% to suck up. More time for the backbone to enjoy a beautiful spring day. The young for the most part think like me. Let the 1% suck off some other group working 70% of their life's away
And..........the Dow is expected to hit 15,000 today!
