I hope you realize that 30 years ago we are adding 1.1 million jobs per month. Now we are adding less than one quarter that number with a population that is 25% larger than it was in 1984.

I would hate to see what you consider "bad news."
Obama is at the helm, we should be happy its not negative..
It's not good news, unless you allow yourself to be fooled.
The people not in the labor force, rose to a new record high, increasing that number by 315,000 to 92.6 million!
More people left the work force, hence the drop in the faux unemployment figure. All we are doing is bleeding jobs until we now match the terrible numbers from February 1978.

Democrats have such low standards..
Perhaps we could put a Republican back in charge and see if we can hit -700,000 again.

The 1.1 million number lasted exactly one month (and we lost 300k the month before). The 1.1 million number is the ultimate cherry picked data point, fed to low information right wingers who are too intellectually lazy to spend 15 seconds checking out the claim.

This must be very depressing for the crowd who actively cheers for bad things to happen to America just because they're so blinded by their Obama hatred that they don't care how many people suffer so long as they glean some sort of partisan advantage from that suffering.
Notice how the cataclysmic job losses reversed themselves in early 2009? Just about the time a certain person left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and another certain person took up residence there.
Imagine how much better still the recovery would be if politicians of a certain political persuasion hadn't intentionally sabotaged it every chance they got for purely partisan reasons.
