Good news for the country, good news for the Democrats, bad news for the Republicans. What do you think? Is the rise temporary? Does it even matter politically? What is causing it?The US economy created 243,000 jobs in December, marking the seventh month in a row of gains, official figures show.
The rise was much more than expected. Analysts had forecast an increase of about 150,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, which was the lowest rate in nearly three years, down from a revised 8.5% in December.
Employers have added an average of 201,000 jobs per month in the past three months.

Very good news. I've been figuring that the economy is due for an upswing. I actually got two job offers last month and so did a few other guys in my office. Everything, at least around here, seems to be picking up nicely.BBC:

Yeah, the news in Chicago last night talked about 5 or 6 big companies who are planning to add a fair amount of jobs in Chicago over this next month so I'm expecting it to go up next month as well. Things are starting to look up.Very good news. I've been figuring that the economy is due for an upswing. I actually got two job offers last month and so did a few other guys in my office.

Why would either fair well during a recession? LOL. Besides this doesn't have much to do with the topic.Interesting graph showing job growth from 1945 to present. Bush and Obama have not faired so well.

Oh they'll be along shortly to explain how, a) these numbers are fake, b) even if they aren't fake, it's actually bad news, and c) we're all doomed ... DOOOOMED!!

All the while people are falling off the employment rolls. We're just booming here, cause it dropped a whole tenth of a percent.

It's amazing how liberals ignore that 1,000,000 people dropped out of the work force in January. Interesting!
I correct myself: 1.2 mil.
Where the hell are you getting those numbers, Amigo?
