Yes, it is very good. When the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, I told everyone I cared about to take their money out of the stock market because it's going to crash. Now that we have some real conservatives in the House, I've been slowly putting money back in and cautiously telling others to do the same. We may actually see a real recovery if the conservatives don't cave-in and sell America short again.
This is not improvement.
From the BLS report:
- The labor force participation rate remained at 64.2% (it was also 64l.2% in January); a year ago it was 64.8%.
- This means 1.5M people are no longer counted in the labor force adjusted for population growth and the annual decrease in participation.
- If those 1.5M people were still counted, the unemployment rate would be 9.8%
The unemployment rate has gone down because more people have given up looking for work due to lack of jobs.

Just republican being elected to office and controlling the house encourages businesses to start to hiring because there is more certainty. You think passing laws and government spending is what creates jobs which is wrong.

So the GOP holds majority in the house and have done nothing to create jobs and you will give them credit for the jobs improvement...yeah....
We are just crawling out of the hole that GW left for us.

Which "job creating" bill has been passed in the House?

Really?
If the congress passes a bill to repair infrastructure - No jobs are created?
If the congress passes a bill to buy a weapons system - No jobs are created?
If the congress passes a bill to modernize telecommunications - No jobs are created?
Seriously?

Of course. Businesses are hiring because they see positive changes are coming in Washington. That's the way the world works. Even the stock market goes up on something positive that may happen in the future. Why don't you know this???

The Republicans have had control of ONE part of congress for 2 months now, and you're attributing last month's unemployment figures to them? LOL.
That's funny.

I'll take this as you don't believe passing that kind of legislation creates jobs.
Now that we've got that out of the way..I've got some land in Florida I am interested in selling at a very reasonable price.
And if that's not something you like..there's a bridge in Brooklyn I am selling cheap as well.
