The April Overall Workweek is also up 0.2 Hour to 33.9 Hours and Average Hourly Earnings increased $0.05 to $16.00. That is likely to translate into an even greater surge in new jobs going forward. Outstanding news for the USA, bad news for DemocRATS.

Bad news for Gold Bugs and a surprisingly wide assortment of "Republicans" who are hoping for economic collapse to support various axes they're grinding.

Not only the liberals will be fabricating the quagmire, you have some freepers who constantly tell us that all this jobs numbers and low uneployement rate mean nothing because Bush has shipped all our jobs to China.

IT will be interesting to se 1) If Bush can force the Chinese into a series of "repeggings, and @0 If the Chenese airlines "chose" a large order of Boeings new planes.

I also want to see what happens to the Indian fighter deal. If that goes our way then we know that Bush has been working behind the scenes big time.

I read today that Britain's unemployment is lower most other countries in Europe. Also, it's growth rate is supposedly better. Anyone know how those figures compare to the U.S.?

Burger flipper jobs that increased average hourly earnings. This is a tasty burger.

...and, as with every other month....I'm sure they were "higher than expected." Didn't you know that Bush's economy is in the crapper?
