418,000 joined the job market last month. Looks like skeptics arguments don't add up.

Sorry SpaceGuy. Look at the U-6 numbers. Unchanged from last month. The U-6 includes people who either gave up looking for work or people who want full time work and only could find part time work. The jobs added were part time.

 

Also, anyone remember 163k jobs added in July but unemployment went up .1%? Makes you think about where these numbers come from.
