112,000 new jobs created in November....under expectations....

[kentuck]

With the holidays seasons upon us, there was expected to be more people hired, even though in mostly temporary positions. The 112,000 was less than expected by the "experts" and not enough to keep up with the growing workforce. But, nonetheless, the unemployment rate dropped once again to 5.4%! When will people start to recognize the bullshit that is being put out about unemployment?

1. I think it was on air america

that I heard unemployment was closer to 9, or maybe it was 10%. Maybe they like being unemployed, lazing around on the couch, watching soaps...while their kids go fight in Iraq because they can't send them to college, and their debt goes through the roof.

2. when they don't have a job

or when they work twice as hard for half the wages.

3. It actually makes sense

babyboomers are coming out of the workforce in very large numbers, so they dont count as unemployed
