Well, you missed the the year over year wage increase was 2% and hours worked went up .1%. Also Manufacturing work week is at 41.1 hours, so if that continues, they will hire more people. Thanks zerohedge.
Just read where you had the 2% increase. Sorry about that. Missed it at first.
Yes, a 2 percent increase completely wiped out by price increases.
So, I’m a cop. I certainly didn’t see a 2% cost of living increase. Actually, increasing deductions dropped my take-home more than that.

Maybe you should play Debbie Downer

OK – the nuts from Whackistan should be out soon. Somehow, at this point, with this many months improvement – you sort of got to admit there’s an improvement. It’s all Haley’s doing.
“Look, we hate to play Debbie Downer…we really do.”
Do you really? IT’S ALL YOU DO!!!!
Even if every single person in the country was employed and working two or three jobs at the same time FITS would find some way to distort and denigrate the employment numbers if they even remotely cast a positive reflection on President Obama. ODS is still rampant.
Record #’s unemployed and 36 year high in labor participation rate and you think things are going well? How’s someone gonna enjoy 17000 stock market when they are using their savings to survive?

CNS News? Really? I would certainly not look to CNS to tell me whether things were going well or not but please be my guest.
So all the money printing was worth it, right? ….the calm before the storm…the long term cost of the money printing induced mini surge is going to be awful….banks are starting to lend their reserves, which was the only thing keeping a lid on inflation.
stock market over 17000 due to these jobs and to Obama’s polices.
Shhhhhhh! Not allowed to even suggest that President Obama has done anything positive.
Well you may not have thought much of it, but the Dow certainly did. Closed above 17000. Now how much is it up since Bush left office> O yea more than double.
As long as Morgan Freeman is working, it’s OK if the President lies again. Freeman has great numbers and genuinely cares about real science, even if he IS a racist. The President has lousy numbers, is a serial racist, and can’t tell the difference between curb snot and fishing worms.
