This is incredibly good news and should be shouted from every corner.

Iâm sure, itâs only a matter of time, before the opposition declares these numbers false, declares that the jobs number isnât good enough, makes all sorts of statements about the âphoninessâ of the entire issue. However, before they do that, they need to step forward and tell all of America exactly what they did to facilitate the creation of better-paying jobs and what infrastructure bills theyâve sponsored through Congress to help the nation.
Mostly, if asked, all we will hear is crickets and Benghazi. Because the detractors have done nothing and never will.
Congrats to those companies who believe in the US workers and have figured out what Henry Ford knew: if we donât pay our workers, there wonât be anyone out there to buy our products.

Well becca it is very good news but Iâm surprised TPM didnât give it a splash across their âfront pageâ. And thereâs no analysis.

Darcy, the news was just released by the Labor Department in the last half hour. Analysis, by its very nature, requires time.

Biden might have finally gotten something right. Four years ago, Biden predicted that âsome time in the next couple of monthsâ the economy will be adding 250,000 to 500,000 jobs a month.
Way to Joe! All that good planning is starting to pay off.
Here comes the âCooking the booksâ brigade!!! Oh, and throw in a Benghazi zombie for good measure.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the sounds of GOP Cons and Baggerloonsâ pointy heads exploding!

The one Iâm hearing is âbut, but, but, the labor participation rate fellâ. Sure it did. Itâs called RETIREMENT. Millions of people in their 50s and 60s who didnât panic and sell everything in 2008/09 now have very healthy 401Ks and are asking themselves why they need to stay on the treadmill. I know this to be a fact, because I am one and I know many others. Expect the labor participation rate to trend down steadily over the next 10-15 years.

And also access to affordable health insurance outside of the workplace. Never forget. That always gets 'em.

Your petty sniping is getting oldâŚ
News was released at exactly 8:30 AM EST. Watched it on CNBC and got the analysis in 5-10 minutes. A decent reporter who knows anything about the economy could have put the numbers together in 5 minutes. TV talking head âanalysisâ is not the same as what youâre referring to.
The number is good, but I want to get behind it. Just what kinds of jobs have been created? Are they long term? Are they high wage?
Rock ânâ roll. Yellen must have had prior indication, now taper looks brilliant.
No ron, unfortunately theyâre not (didnât want to go there but youâre forcing me). 44% of all new jobs created since 2009 pay on average $13.33. Sorry.
