The latest job growth numbers are in, and they continue to be good news for American workers as well as for President Bush. This month saw 288,000 new jobs added to the economy:
Payrolls grew by 288,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported, well above the 173,000 economists had forecast, according to a survey by Reuters. The number even topped the highest forecasts of about 250,000.
The department also revised its reading on March job growth to 337,000 jobs from the 308,000 reported last month. That gave the economy an average monthly gain of 217,000 a month so far this year, even with weaker-than-expected growth in January and February.
The unemployment rate eased to 5.6 percent from 5.7 percent in March.
Not only that, but the manufacturing sector even had a substantial pick-up of jobs in April, despite the continued decline of manufacturing as a key sector of the modern economy.
Thank President Bush’s pro-growth tax policies for the change.
(As a personal note, it’s rather nice to know that you’re one of those 288,000…)
The Kerry Kamp is seeing its issues stripped away from them one at a time.
Kerry has no issues on which to run…no wonder why he keeps referring back to his time in Vietnam.
On the Personal note: Good job on finding one! The world is full of opportunity if you know where to find it.
Second: A small joke: How is it that someone can’t find a job when the unemployment numbers are down?
Ask Kerry.
