It was just about seeing Bush, haven't seen him in a long while and he looked good!
how can that be? The great one assured us that this was the summer of recovery?
My understanding is we have about 130 k workers entering the job market every month? If so then we lost 70 K jobs this month?
That is because those temporary censor workers (public jobs), went back to unemployment, but the private sector gained 64.000 jobs.
If you didn't pay attention, Wall Street loved that news : Dow up 237 points, and the Nasdaq also up 1.5% on Friday.
Smart investors don't pay attention to fox misleading news !
The private sector actually gained 67,000 jobs.
Where were those censor workers when that boxer went on that profanity-laced tirade on the Internet?
thats one of those spin issues where you have to read between the lines. while the private sector added 67000 new jobs around 130,000 new workers entered the job market . thus the unemployment rate went up to 9.6.
job creation is not keeping up with the number of new people entering the job market.
No matter what, it's getting harder for you rightwingers to twist good news into bad.
Wait until September numbers come out, and it's very possible by November (with October results), the unemployment will be under 9%.
And ofcourse record company earnings, (you'll even see UPS above $70/share), and probably GM with their new IPO out.
Did you dispute the fact you misstated the dow increase by a 100 points?
Did you dispute the point the workforce is increasing at a greater rate then the creation of jobs?
Nope.
Did you just say the unemployment rate will make a dramatic drop to 9 percent in two months without any supporting data?
yep
you're not talking to cuban children here. You will need to bring more then some pretty beach balls in this venue.
Hey the market has begun September with enthusiasm....I'd be willing to say that this enthusiasm is in large part of what is coming in November...Real CHANGE... Let's face it, a large part of the August swoon wasn't because of the economy, although it was nothing to write home about, but to an overall lack of confidence and the stranglehold that this administration has put on businesses. In other words there is a new HOPE of a big CHANGE in the House and Senate which looks to create a business environment that is actually conducive to companies hiring again! This is what the stock market is excited about....I agree with you an 11,000 or perhaps even a 12,000 DOW is possible....Another opinion : Don't bet against the stockmarket in the near future, my prediction Dow over 11000 by mid October.
ok, it happens, Friday the Dow was "only" over 100 points up, the TSX was over 200.... Thursday it was the other way around.
It's no big deal, the main factor being said, that the stockmarkets acted very positive to the news, that you and Lucy call as negative.
Again, it will go up IN SPITE OF OBAMA and his policies.

Actually kleins logic is a reflection of the games we play these days.
Workforce grows by 130,000. 67000 private sector jobs are added , unemployment rate goes up yet somehow we grew jobs?
Klein tells us the market is going up as if that is a reflection that the economy is somehow improving. In the process Klein forgets to tell us that the market actually crested earlier this year going well over 11 K and that it has since dropped significantly. He then waits for a dead cat bounce to tell us the market is improving.
Klein is an excellent socialism spin doctor.
