Thank goodness. This is rock-solid. Not too great so that the markets might overreact on interest rates. Not too small that it makes everyone concerned everything is slowing down.

I think the Household numbers are down 152k, but this table always confuses me.

They're both positive numbers IMHO. Certainly not the huge problem that sKerry claims.

Really good news. Better than I expected. This will just help Bush build on his momentum. Unless Bush makes a major gaff or some big event that goes against him, I think it is just about over for Kerry.

"little changed" is what one report said - 5.4% is LESS than 5.5% and is a great number...one of the lowest in modern times.
President Bush's 1st term unemployment rate is NOW LOWER than was Clinton's in Clinton's FIRST TERM -- and the Pres inherited a recession, the Clinton stock bubble bursting, the investing scandal, 9/11 attack on the world financial center, the 9/11 demise of the airline industry, and a war.
I'd say that this is MIRACULOUS! I mean -- LOWER than Clinton's. It's amazing.

"144,000 Jobs Created in August"
Yes, but FOX had an analyist on that said the economists were expecting 150,000 jobs to be added.
Another Bush failure.

Over the year, payroll employment has risen by 1.7 million, with slightly more than half the gain (885,000) occurring from March through May of this year. Since May, nonfarm employment has risen by 313,000, as revised. Bada bing!

My first advice, tongue in cheek, would be for the Bush Campaign to dump the backstabbing McVain pronto.
