On one hand, a 0.8% increase in 3.5 years is actually pretty good considering just how terrible things have been.
On the other, seasonal hires always look nice. I'd expect it to be hovering around 9.2-9.5% come the end of January.
I seriously cannot listen to Romney for more than a couple of minutes. I fall asleep. It is quite remarkable how dull he is.
Meanwhile, fyi, economy improving ....
December jobs report: Hiring up, unemployment rate at 8.5% - Jan. 6, 2012
A CNN/Time poll later showed Romney with 37 percent, followed by Santorum at 19 percent and Gingrich at 18 percent
People are forecasting UE to go back up because the "Work Force" has dropped since Obama took office. In fact if the same amount of people were still in the work force today vs when Obama took office, the UE rate would be 10.9%
The jobs created were just people who rolled off 99 weeks of UE benefits and had to get a job. Once more people roll back into the work force, more people will be counted as UE and the rate will tick back up
I forgot to add that local governments didnt do a lot of laying off because of the holiday season, and with Natural Gas below $3 the once booming NatGas industry will hault drilling new wells.
If these numbers hold, it's over.
