so howbout that jobs report
220k+ per month jan, feb, march
160k+ per month oct, nov, dec


The amount of jobs generally estimated to be needed to match up purely with job demand is 250,000.

Unemployment numbers are only dropping because of people giving up hope / people hiding in further college programs waiting for the market to change.

 

In short... nothing to be bragging about.  Which is why even the Administration doesn't brag about them.

 

The only reason 165,000 is considered optimistic is because generally they call these months the "Spring swoon".

 

So, essentially the numbers are just less awful then expected.  (due to seasonal adjustments sort of being ass for the last few years now.)

it would help if we didnt have this

(Republican)Toomey “In the end it didn’t pass because we’re so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it,”

they voted against the veterans jobs act.  in a nation thats crumbling they vote against infrastructure spending.  they voted against things that could reduce the deficit and create jobs.  but we sure have  alot of abortion bills.
