Jobs gain, unemployment falls
« on: April 03, 2011, 11:07:49 PM »
Improvements in the job market may finally be taking hold, as strong business hiring last month brought the unemployment rate down to its lowest level in two years.

The economy gained 216,000 jobs in the month. That's better than the gain of 180,000 predicted by economists surveyed by CNNMoney, and also a significant improvement over the 194,000 jobs added in February.

"Almost two years after the recession officially ended, the labor market appears to finally be picking up," said Kathy Bostjancic, director of macroeconomic analysis for The Conference Board.

The unemployment rate continued to edge down, dropping to 8.8%, the lowest level since March 2009. The unemployment rate has shed a full percentage point in the last four months, the largest four-month drop since 1984.

When You trust statistics, You are double dumb, as W. Bush and Pappi. The statistics is such a woman, which gives everybody all he wants and in every way he likes. ;D

the numbers are patently false.  look around and use your own judgment as to whether or not the economy is improving.

The official unemployment rate really does not mean much.
What counts is the number of people with jobs.
