Job situation improves despite government efforts to torpedo economy
http://money.cnn.com/2009/12/04/news...mber/index.htm
Looks like this is the best job performance since the recession started, and since the government took its deliberate steps to deepen and prolong it.

Re: Job situation improves despite government efforts to torpedo economy
Now you know the morons will spin it to say the stimulus is working. How it can be linked is beyond me, but then again, the morons don't need proof or anything. Just imagine, they'll say. Just imagine how much better off we'd be if the stimulus package was twice as large.

Re: Job situation improves despite government efforts to torpedo economy
IF anyone honestly believes these numbers they need to have their heads examined.
The number of jobs lost has gone down... for the month because we have already shed millions and are down to just core people.
Xmas help is at its peak right now (temporary labor)
the most recent numbers put Unemployed/underemployed at over 17%!
the 10% number is a feel good bullshit number that the gov made up to try and get everyone spendingThe first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: Job situation improves despite government efforts to torpedo economy
Of course it is... After all, there are about 16 million people out of work. The stimulus, in the very most positive light, has "created or saved" (*ptoooey*) 1.6M jobs, or .9% change in unemployment. For all the money that's been spent thus far, we've changed unemployment by .9%. In other words, it would've been 11.1% without the stimulus money. Consider, also, that many of those jobs are not sustainable, as they are mostly project work.
I'd say that's an effective use of tax dollars, wouldn't you? (/sarcasm)

Re: Job situation improves despite government efforts to torpedo economy
Nope, I don't buy this.
I have a job, yet it's part time and I'm woefully underemployed.
I agree that if "November job losses fewest since start of the recession. Unemployment rate decline is biggest in more than three years" is the case, it's because of the xmas jobs.
I feel January's figures will be a vast disappointment.
