FiveThirtyEight is Nate Silver's blog. He is one of the best statisticians on the planet. I would tend to take his views seriously.

And frankly, all the braindead fear-mongering is getting old. If Romney was in office, you would be dancing in the street over these numbers.

Eh. Problem I see is MOST jobs hiring are NOT full time jobs....people mine as well stay on unemployment!

That maybe the new reality as many suggest. for many.

Most Red states are booming....... How's your Blue state doing ?

I did read today that in the current stats that over 2 million people quit high paying jobs last month, which the conservative reporter claimed was an indicator that workers are more confident in their ability to land another batter job quickly.

That was a good indicator that did convince me that things are way better.

Yay! It only took SIX years to get "back on track" sort of, during one of the slowest recoveries ever!

You try fixing the damage caused by the worst recession in 80 years with a do-nothing Congress thwarting you at every turn.

6 years is fair. Romney said he'd have us 6% unemployment by 2016, and you probably voted for him.

Obama said it wouldn't go over 8% and he didn't deserve a 2nd term if he had not fixed it by then.

You probably voted for him.
