"What you mean you only got 113k jobs, why you lazy lima bean."
"What you mean you only got 113k jobs, why you lazy lima bean."
One of the funniest “In Living Color” skits I can recall - especially when he’s looking at the newborn baby and asks: “How many job he have?”. He then goes on describing how many jobs he had as a baby...
Here’s the best part about the 113,000 jobs ‘created.
If you look at table B-1
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t17.htm
The non seasonally adjusted number of total non farm jobs was 138,266,000 in December and 135,396,000 in January
That’s a loss of 2,870,000 jobs.
Now add in the guesstimate of net jobs from the Birth and Death model (-307,000)

and
Run the output through seasonal adjustment
Out comes +113,000 jobs.
