U.S. Added 292,000 Jobs In December:

[Campbell]

unemployment rate steady at 5 percent.

....................70th consecutive month of job growth. The highest in years.

CHART IS NOT UP TO DATE BUT SHOWS CONTRAST

 

[Obiwan]

I just wonder how many of those jobs were temporary positions for the Christmas rush (meaning that those people will be added to the unemployment figures this month)...

 

[SuperDemocrat]

There is no way that number can be accurate. I suspect the data will be revised, re-revised, etc, etc.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Sure, SuperDumbocrat, Sure!

Just curious.....do you think the totals it shows when Obama took the helm are accurate? Shucks...we may discover some kind of conspiracy attempting to make Bush look bad......LMAO!!

Here's the article. I wonder what they meant when they said, "Crushes Expectations"

And how many are part time.

 

[Mac1958]

I wouldn't crow about the economy just yet.

There are some significant deflationary pressures out there, some important numbers (such as durable goods, production/capacity utilization, business inventories) are looking crappy, and China's problems aren't over. Plus the 10-year bond is back down to freaking 2.12, holy crap. I've seen predictions of 1.60, even worse.

If we make it to July or August unscathed I'll feel better.

Great news...sort of, but what about that darn worker participation rate? Ever heard of it?

Obama also credited himself with bringing peace to Syria. Thank God for Obama. Now all of those "refugees" can go home.
Stop being stupid Campbell. It January. All of Santa's elves have been laid off till next Dec.

 

[Toro]

This may be the top in employment.

 

[AceRothstein]

If the numbers weren't seasonally adjusted then you might have a point. But they are adjusted so...

 

[AceRothstein]

They get revised up more frequently than they get revised down.

 

[Likkmee]

You see there ! You NEED those Syrians ! Get some of those stuck Cubans in Central America too !
There's tons of work ! YAY !

Personally I would crow about the economy. We are getting into some scary territory. I'm no economist but the numbers I'm seeing cited across the board are down right frightening.

Bond rates are one, stocks being over priced are another, participation rates in the stock market way down, leveraging of stocks way up, home ownership levels way down but home prices up, currencies being devalued around the world while emerging markets have massive debt coming due, payable in dollars, leveraged derivative holdings worldwide by some estimates 250 trillion(yes trillion), huge public pension obligations, commodities crashing, consumer debt upwards of 1.3 tr, student debt 1.2 tr, defaults way up, the fed balance 5.1 tr consisting of unknown assets and no way to find out, govt debt 18 tr while international buyers of our debt are walking away. Wild stuff.

This can't end well.

Shitty numbers, most unemployed don't even show up in those numbers they gave up even looking for jobs years ago. Now they live on the dole.

Typical of socialism

Lol

No unemployed show up in those numbers at all because they are not numbers on unemployed. They are numbers on jobs.

I'll tell you what!!

Look at that goddamned idiot George W. Bush assumed an unemployment rate of 4.3%, a balanced budget on a path to completely settle the national debt and the first thing he did was cut tax rates for his oil Buds not once but two times...2001 and 2003. Then he funneled six trillion borrowed dollars into their pockets in the form of low tax rates. When are the Republicans going to learn that if you're gonna cut taxes you should cut spending. Obama has already paid about two trillion dollars on annual interest on their goddamned debts. Not surprisingly it had to be borrowed too. That's the main reason that after thirty years of voting for Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times and even Reagan once I'll never vote for another Tax Cutting, Debt Building Republican if I live to 100:
