unemployment up to 9.6%

Its not that it is up that amount, its that the rate is that but was expected to be worse. The expansion in the private sector is much better than expected. The losses in the government sector are about 70 % census workers finished up.

Putting aside the politics of it and who will claim credit, etc., it is welcome news for the economy.

so it's a good sign that unemployment went up but not as much as they predicted? Is that like a "moral victory" you make fun of UT fans about?

Hard to do that when you have spent 1 tril. to keep the unemployment rate below 8 or whatever was promised.

That's 100% unadulterated crap. The real unemployment rate is FAR, FAR higher than is being reported. They don't count people that have quit looking because the jobs market is so unbelievably terrible. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is incentivizing people to stay unemployed by extending unemployment benefits in perpetuity. Perhaps we should just predict an unemployment rate of 50%. Then we can all do cartwheels when it comes in at 10%.

67K private sector jobs created, needs to be at least double that amount for this to be a true recovery

what? You don't believe the rate going up is good news? You don't believe that the numbers are skewed by the census jobs (jobs that were counted as growth just a few months ago)? Shame on you

The expectation was worse, the trend is improving (its does not stop on a dime and turn), and the numbers that came out today are inconsistent with the calamity theories.

actually this is the first time in my lifetime the economy hasn't stepped on a dime and turned by this point in a recession. being better than expectations isn't all that great when you are still losing jobs. and i'd argue these numbers are absolutely consistant with those saying the economy is not getting better.

Then you'd be standing with those that comment on it purely for poltiical gain because every story I am reading says this is consistent with the slow economic growth and recovery that was expected. If anything, a little better than expected.
