Nothing wrong with it at all. I plan to work part time when I retire.

Yea, now welfare rolls will go down.

People got more than a minimum wage job? Are they getting full time jobs?

I hope the trend keeps going, but the coming austerity climate does not paint a rosy picture.

Because they were sequestered, they won't count them. It will make the numbers look bad.

Well, if anyone know how to display irrational hate, it would be you.

Wait a sec, I thought the sequester was going to destroy the economy and job hiring. And it's all the Republicans fault. So since everything seems to be improving, do we still blame the repubs, or congratulate the dems? Sometimes it's hard to follow my Liberal teachings when they make absolutely no sense at all.

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.

The numbers are good.

But.....after 4+ years of Obama and his brilliant policies that were supposed to fix our economy, they're not nearly good enough.

Nobody can tell me that the recession (which ended 3 years ago) was so horrific that it's taken this long to get out of? We've been through lots of recessions, and it shouldn't have been this bad.

I hope it continues to get better. And I hope the Dems start to see that it's a result of conservatives in congress.
