May Jobs Report Keeps Obama On Defensive, Aids Romney's Offense
FROM National Public Radio:
How to convince voters that while the economy isn't roaring, the situation is still improving?
That's President Obama's challenge, made more difficult with every passing month where the jobs
report disappoints, as on Friday.
The latest Labor Department report informed us that only 69,000 jobs were created in May, less than half
what analysts had forecast. Meanwhile, the jobless rate ticked up a tenth of a percentage point to 8.2 percent.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, to put it more accurately) for the president, he and other White House officials
have gotten plenty of practice in trying to put the best face on dissatisfying economic numbers while trying to
stay on the offensive.
Obama, for instance, had a visit to a Honeywell plant in Minnesota on his Friday schedule so he could talk up
his initiative to encourage employers to hire military veterans. It was part of a strategy to show that he has
ideas for improving the nation's job picture.
Obama, of course, couldn't help but acknowledge to the audience at the plant the good news, bad news
nature of the current economic story:

From Time Magazine:
Behind the Numbers: Slow Job Growth is a Problem;
Long-term Unemployment is a Crisis
Any way you slice it, Friday’s jobs numbers were a huge disappointment. Forecasters were expecting 150,000 jobs
added, and even that figure would have represented mediocre job growth. But the actual number of 67,000 new jobs
isn’t even enough to keep up with population growth.
Combine that with the downward revisions of the March and April numbers, and what we have on our hands
is a sputtering recovery.
But perhaps the most depressing aspect of last week’s report – and the recovery in general – is the huge number
of long-term unemployed workers. Defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, someone is considered “long-term”
unemployed if they have been jobless for 27 weeks or longer. According to Friday’s Employment Situation Report, the
total number of long-term unemployed is at a staggering 5.4 million Americans, or 42.8% of the total
unemployed.

765,894 Hospital Jobs Hang In The Balance With Obamacare Decision
The 629 Catholic hospitals account for 12.6% of the nation’s total and provide 765,894 jobs (530,673 full-time and 235,221 part-time - the equivalent of 640,894 full-time jobs).
The societal cost of losing these hospitals goes far beyond the jobs lost, however. The country would also lose 120,311 hospital beds. And, Catholic hospitals now treat one out of six (16.6%) Medicare and one of seven (13.6%) Medicaid patients.

(CNSNews.com) — There was a net decline of 406,000 in the number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were working in the United States in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A net of 309,000 in this demographic simply dropped out of the labor force, which means they neither had a job in June nor actively tried to find one, according to BLS.
The number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were “unemployed” — meaning they did not have a job but did actively try to find one — increased by 96,000 in June.
According to the new seasonally adjusted numbers that BLS released on Friday, there were 46,355,000 Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who held jobs in May. In June, that number fell to 45,949,000 — a decline of 406,000.

Wrong again wonder boy.
All the Dem controlled states are bleeding cash so fast they have not a clue on how to stem the outflow.
So they look the DC for help.
But it has been reported that bhos does not even start playing president until 10 AM , then it's lunch time and spending the rest of the day fundraising .
bhos keeps claiming that there is a stalemate in Congress , maybe if he spent some actual time doing his job that stalemate could be broken.

Klein---you only serve to further embarass yourself when you comment on anything related to UPS.
You were fired for drinking on the clock. You have zero credibility when it comes to anything related to the company.
Do yourself a favor and stick to what you know---I can lend you a post-it note so that you can write it all down.
