More good economic news, this time a look behind the numbers of the 6.4% unemployment rate recently released:
When the United States unemployment rate climbed to 6.4 percent last week, the highest point in almost a decade, analysts were generally glum about the prospects for job seekers. They were being far too pessimistic, however: a close look at four other economic indicators point to the end of what some have called the “jobless” recovery. These indicators show significant declines in the rate of job losses

John,
Mark Steyn points out that if you take California out of the mix, last week’s job figures actually indicated that we gained 4,500 new jobs — rather than losing 25,000.
Hmmmmmm… Wonder why that is.
BTW, nice tease of the Eschat-heads at Atrios, re: Bush’s Africa Trip. I’m surprised you aren’t buried in acidic bile.
I like stopping there because that site, along with a couple other lefty sites like Buzzflash and Democratic Underground, seem to reflect the Dems’ slide into far left irrelevancy, and a frantic, vicious, self-destructive rage. I’ve bemoaned the fact that the Republicans need an effective opposition, otherwise they will, in Mayor Quimby’s words, “grow fat and sleek off graft and corruption.” But the lefty activists seem determined to kill off the Dem’s national hopes. “Oh yeah folks, just vote for that red faced, screaming fellow over there, who just called the Republicans a pack of pederastic, bank robbing satan worshippers.” Yep, that’ll pack the voters in in Boise…
Anyhow, you have anice blog I visit once in a while, and yer gettin’ blogrolled for going under the bridge as Es-shiton, and teasing the trolls.
