Came out minutes ago. NFP up only 74k, but the rate dropped to 6.7%, lowest since 2008.

Job growth slowed to 120,000 in March, making it the smallest increase since October. The unemployment rate did still drop to 8.2%, but the weaker jobs growth numbers could leave room for further Fed easing. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/06/us-usa-economy-idUSBRE83503K20120406

If you saw the lib news media today, you saw them cheerleading obama over an employment "decline" for the last month, from 9.0% to 8.6%. Half of that decline was due to about 300,000 workers just giving up looking for work, ie, they were in the "discouraged worker" category not included by the...

The already manipulated unemployment rate still saw a hike in November, with today's BLS report showing 9.8% unemployment. Payrolls increased by only 39,000 as opposed to the ~150,000 that was expected. The report sours optimism on recovery after people speculated on strong numbers for November...

The unemployment rate went up again in the month of October, jumping from 9.8% to 10.2%, making it the highest since 1983. It seems harder than ever to get a job right now and things could sadly get worse. Thoughts?
