Apparently they do not use my methodology (which involves walking around the malls and counting the vacancies)
PATENT BULLSHIT from the "yellow-stream" media, as usual.
Obama and his media supporters have been pushing the idea that things are getting better to help his re-election. This is simply the liberal/Democrat half of the electorate responding and being more confident. The poll isn’t wrong, it is simply measuring people on the left responding to Obama’s campaign message. Not a surprise, Obama is very effective at this for short periods of time when he needs to be.
went through this last yr, just back to school/college shopping is all will go back to flat next month.
what’s the significance of that date?
Ben Bernanke QE3 bounce?
Consumer confidence surged from 61.3 last month to 70.3 this month.

There are also the stories about major planned hiring in advance of the holidays (so mainly temp/seasonal jobs) such as the one this morning about Toys R Us starting to hire 50,000 workers.
The story on TRU also played up how last year 15k temps were converted to perm employees. The Sept jobs numbers are going to play a huge role in the election... We’ll see what happens.
