Good Economic News

[Truthseeker420]

According to New York Times forecasting guru Nate Silver, it was a good week for Barack Obama.

Not only did he do well in several national and swing-state polls, the economic aspects of Silver's also showed improvement.

Like it or not, Mitt Romney would really like the economy to take a hard turn down over the next 3 months (yikes, that's it!).

A few weeks ago, it definitely looked like the wheels could come off. And they still might. But a host of charts suggest that that's not what's going on right now. The US macro situation appears to be stabilizing, and some signals actually look good.

Let's quickly go to the charts.

First is today's jobs report. The monthly gain was clearly the best in several months. Sure it wasn't great, but the best in 4 months is a nice turnaround and a relief for The President

The business insider is just another left-wing propaganda site.

they really shouldn't have "business" in their name, they are just deceiving people

From the uber-liberal NPR:

On Jobs, Bad News Is Bad. The Good News Is Bad, Too

Some people might have left the workforce because they reached retirement age, and it's possible they weren't replaced by young people, who may have decided to stay in school because the job market is still dicey.

Yet there's no doubt many people left the workforce because they're discouraged. After months of looking, they still couldn't find a job.

Extending unemployment, permitting people with back aches to go on SSI, and branding 26 year old as "children", inflates the employment numbers, but doesn't do squat to help the economy.

Left wing? first time I heard anyone say that? didn't they have an article supporting Chick-Fil-A? doesn't sound like something the left wing would do.

It's the same standard used when Republicans suck on Bush's little numbers.

This is very good news considering GOP doesn't plan on doing anything to help the economy until after the election.

UE ticks up to 8.3, yeah, great news...

BTW, does anyone understand how UE can go down with under 100k jobs created but then go up with 130k + jobs created?

...anyone understand how UE can go down with under 100k jobs created but then go up with 130k + jobs created?

The BLS press release reports two surveys. The one for establishments said "nonfarm payroll employment rose by 163,000", but the other survey of households (including people employed while not on a payroll) had this table:

The bottom line here is that the 163,000 new payroll jobs doesn't make up for other job losses and the over all drop is 195,000. Couple that with the fact that the population grew 199,000 means we got about four hundred grand more people looking for work.
