Sometimes it's not the number of new jobs gained..it's WHERE those new jobs are happening.
Just reveling in the total doesn't give you a trend. As they say..the devil is in the details.
Employment Situation Summary
From the BLS report:
Manufacturing employment increased by 29,000 over the month.
Temporary help services added 31,000 jobs over the month
Employment in mining continued to increase in May, with a gain of 10,000.
Health care employment was little changed in May (+8,000)
In May, employment in construction declined by 35,000
Employment in state government excluding education decreased by 13,000.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for March was revised
from +230,000 to +208,000.
yep, those of you going out and buying houses cars and accepting big fat student loans, think again.
i see a one term president standing in the oval office.
the true model is brazil recovery, auterity and energy independence. not drunk sailor spending.
Is this really a shocker to most people who are aware of what the Obama dictatorship is trying to do?? Of course, the federal govt has to step in and hire more people to save ( = control) us...never let a good crisis go to waste...are they still saving and / or creating jobs?? What a joke..
The pull back in the private sector from 200,000 in March and 290,000 in April is a really bad sign. People are still not spending (no surprise there, obama's policies are dictating that people squirrel away all they can for the coming tax hikes), business is not hiring.
.
Everything is always a really bad sign, isn't it, and your claim about consumer spending is as false. Yes, savings are way up (horribe, isn't it), but at the same time consumer spending has been rising all year.
When busineses hired 200K in March, and 290K in April, you did your darnest to downplay that too, so why should anyone take your comments seriously?
The economy has added nearly a million jobs this year, and yet everything is a "really bad sign".
I just think that, considering where this Country has come from in jobs area, any gain is good news. Maybe not as good as we, well most, of us would like, but good all the same. So, from your perspective, I guess you are right when you characterize the news as bad.

It may be a joke to you, but census is a constitutional mandate, and not some stunt any president can do whenever they feel like it. Are you kidding me?
Llast month you ignored the unemployment rate to celebrated the increase in unemployment because more entered the work force.. Now you want to ignore the work force numbers and those who stopped looking for work to only focus on the unemployment rate.
Tell me, which one is important because you keep flip flopping from month to month..
