Nope...no comments...almost leads me to believe they only like to discuss it when it's bad/negative news - when it can be used against this administration...rather than both dems and republicans being encouraged when the numbers improve.
Oh well...the numbers this month sure made me happy. More people back to work.

Job growth is good. Much of it was reconstruction from Florida's disaster. Earlier this year when I checked, a good percentage of it was military related because of the war.
Hopefully there will be a trend towards more good jobs where a husband and wife can each work at only one job to support their family. Hopefully the ones with good paying jobs will still be able to hang on to them.
I expect there will be more job growth as they are opening more and more WalMart stores nationwide and people are eager to consume those Made in China goods.

But the unemployment rate also went up.
