Actually there are more jobs than they are counting. A lot of people, including myself, are now self-employed. Personally I enjoyed the security of a regular job, but I'm eating. If they counted the self-employed contractors, the job numbers would be half a million higher.

That's a very good point. Construction jobs have been high for a long time, but this winter the industry has been dormant.
March or so might bring a huge surge of construction, highway and landscaping jobs.

I weep for the Dems when that happens. Not.
