624K Jobs added over the last 3 months. 2012 revised upward: By 335K.

In the private sector.

Public Sector employment continues to collapse.

Employers added 157,000 jobs in January, the Labor Department said, which was right in line with analyst expectations. The brightest news, though, was that revised estimates showed much higher job creation at the end of last year than first reported. The nation added a whopping 247,000 jobs in November and 196,000 in December, a combined 127,000 jobs above earlier estimates.

The January unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent, from 7.8 percent, however, as both the number of people reporting having a job and the number looking for one edged up.


The drivers of job growth were surprisingly consistent. The construction sector added 28,000 jobs, following a 30,000 gain in December, suggesting that as more homes are going up, employers are expanding their construction crews. The retail sector added 33,000 jobs and apparently did pull back on hiring in anticipation of the increase in the payroll tax at the beginning of the year, siphoning money from consumers’ pockets. Two sectors that have been job creation stalwarts over the past three years–professional and business services and health care and education–kept up that steady performance, each adding 25,000 jobs.

Another consistent trend in January: Government employment fell by 9,000, which followed a 9,000 job loss in November and 6,000 job loss in December.
Good news on jobs: Growth was steady to start the year, and 2012 was better than first thought

This is unique. Public sector job growth increased during Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush.

And it adds more credence to the notion that Republicans are actively trying to sabotage the recovery.

Unemployment up to 7.9. 8,500,000 left the work force. Gas up to over $4.00 a gallon. Yep, the obamaeconomy is working exactly as intended.

That didn't happen under ANY REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.

Now, why is that?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Maybe the 'nuts here who before the election were guaranteeing us that after the election the numbers would get much worse because the BLS wouldn't have to fudge them for Obama's benefit anymore,

maybe they'll step up now and admit how stupid they were to utter such nonsense.

yet workforce participation rates lower than the Bush years... people coming off the unemployment stats in droves even though they are not working

Numbers for those not in the labor force who want a job, up almost 40%.. Not in Labor Force, Searched For Work and Available, Discouraged Reasons For Not Currently Looking almost DOUBLE

Yup.

And the main reasons were:

Cuts in Government Spending.
Industries not restocking inventories.

Why?

Due to cuts in government spending.

That's a taste of austerity.

Like it?

and why is the government having to make those cut's? Lost revenue? Why the lost revenue?
Because of a failed obama economical policy.

Unemployment up to 7.9. 8,500,000 left the work force.

Let me get this straight..you're looking at the increase of those Not in the Labor Force of 8.5 million, you assume there was no change in the population, and state that the Labor force dropped without bothering to look at the actual labor force numbers.

How does that make sense? The Labor Force increased by over a million. More people retired and fewer 16 year olds started looking for work, so NILF went up. Labor force increased, and Unemployed decreased.

We have historically low public sector employment. Not only are retiring people not being replaced..they are laying people off.
