Clip from NPR:

Update at 8:42 a.m. ET. Job Growth Averaging Around 150,000 A Month:

According to BLS, “since the beginning of this year, employment growth has averaged 151,000 per month, about the same as the average monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011.”

At that pace, however, there aren’t enough new jobs being added to bring down the unemployment rate.

Yesterday's news ABC report set this up as good news by reporting that anything less than 100k new jobs created would be considered bad news (I've always heard the new job creation rate must be much higher than that in order just to keep pace with new work force entries).

So Halleluja, this is fantastic news. We MUST send BO back to the white house.
