[h=2]U.S. Job Growth Slows Sharply[/h]U.S. job growth slowed sharply in December, closing out the year on a surprisingly weak note and potentially complicating the Federal Reserve's plan for its bond-buying program.
U.S. payrolls rose by 74,000 last month, the Labor Department said Friday. That was a sharp dip from numbers of over 200,000 in the prior two months and the lowest monthly gain in three years.
The Labor Department said the unemployment rate fell to 6.7% from 7%, though the decline was largely the result of people leaving the workforce.

The number of jobs only rose by 74,000 but the unemployment rate fell a full .3% to 6.7. BOY THAT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!

I wonder if anyone still thinks the number the government uses for unemployment is tied in any way to reality....

How is anemic job growth "good news"?

For the zombie left, it's all about optics and speeches.
Show them a trumped up number or a graph, tell them what they want to hear and they open their mouth wide and take the hook.

It doesn't matter that the labor force participation rate is down to 62.8%, the lowest rate in over three decades, because Obama says unemployment is down.

it's "UCT-6" not "U-6" that is the name of the unemployment quarterly return you keep referencing incorrectly..

*sigh*

Does reality invade your world occasionally?

The job participation percentage is the lowest in 36 years. You have to go back to Carter to have this much raw unemployment.

All you can say for a positive is it is getting better... LOL!
