146,000 private sector jobs added, unemployment dips to 7.7%.
Analysts were saying that Sandy would have a big negative effect on both numbers. Just think how good they'd be w/o that boat anchor dragging them down. I heard a report on the radio last night on the way home from work that "underlying" economic factors were all looking positive, too. Wish I could remember the details.
Anyway, the recovery seems to be picking up a little steam. Still a way to go, but we're moving forward.
With the economy improving and people seeing Obama's policies are working, the GOP will clearly get blamed for the fiscal cliff fiasco if the economy tanks and the polls are showing they would get blamed.

Wow! I expected only around 60K to be added because of the Sandy effect.
Cue right wing kvetching about how the metric is flawed or how it shouldn't count because it's counting seasonal jobs that have always been counted in the past...
And now, folks, the other shoe. 540,000 people dropped from the Labor Force. So you see, it is all a big LIE, 'cause Obama is a big LIAR, and those who support him are huge FOOLS.
good news comrades!
now get out there and spend those unemployment and S.S. checks
