what happened to the talking point, "jobs are a delayed economic indicator"..

If thats true, then a lack of jobs would indicate the policies were destined to fail years ago..

yeah, many of us knew that..

btw, most of your excuses are just that.. excuses..

No one who knows anything about it considers it but an anomaly that will be revised upward quite a bit next month. The ADP jobs growth was over 200K again. All the economic commentary agrees that something is "off" in the report, but none of the gaggle of RWNJs even mention that. Could they have an agenda?

Economic indicators continue to look better than they have in years and solid growth is ahead. Obvious evidence will probably come in too late - that is, the kind that will be recognized by the voter - to do much for the Dems this fall, so why not just celebrate the fact that things are getting better for millions of us and stop the politicking?

Your response makes no sense unless you are suggesting the RWNJ's created the report and work for the administration and writing reports to make them look bad

Irrelevant as the data is seasonally adjusted. Nice try.

Wages went up six cents an hour. That's something.

That situation has been resolved.
Twelve hundred people in NH applied for unemployment benefits for the six weeks of the walk-out at Market Basket......and that sunk the whole U.S. economy in August ? Who really believes this stuff ?

Nobody said it sunk the economy. Isn't Market Basket a regional chain with stores in other New England states? Didn't they apply for unemployment too?
