Fox is a trip; they'll eventually add a headline, but it will be very reluctantly.
The connies here will still point to the 8.3% unemployment rate. But, of course, they'll conveniently forget their guarantees from 2009 that the stimulus would destroy us and have us in double-digit unemployment for years. Dixie was promising a "Mad Max" kind of world by this time...
I think one of the biggest mistakes people make on this board (not saying this about you - just in general), is that when there is a thread celebrating good economic news. it's interpreted as some sort of statement or exclamation that the economy is fantastic.
It isn't - we all know that. But, we're in a better spot right now than I thought we might be at this juncture. We had a mega crash. Just getting people back to work, even if the jobs aren't so great, is a huge step. As people work, they'll still spend more, boosting the economy further - and eventually, those low-paying jobs will turn into better jobs, and so on.
How are things goin', anyway?
Its been on for hours....

WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent last month, but the economy showed continued signs of growth as employers added 227,000 jobs across sectors ranging from manufacturing to health care.
Nothing earthshaking here......and you expect "breaking news" for nothing ?

I hear you. It's the nature of the board that most discussions have a political overtone or backdrop that gets involved in economic type debates.
I'm good. I'll tell you from a local perspective technology is BOOMING out here. If you work in technology there is no recession or downturn. It is crazy. I'll give one example. My buddy has lived in his one bedroom 700 sq.ft. apt. for about nine years now in the South of Market area of San Francisco not too far from the Giants ballpark. He got it right after the dot com crash for $1,800/mnth. He is paying $3,500/mnth today. $3,500/mnth for a one bedroom 700 sq.ft. apartment. WTF is that? You work in construction you hear of struggle. You work in technology not the same.
My sister had a rent controlled apt in San Fran for $800 mo for about 20 years, on knob hill. It's prob going for as much now.
Section 8 housing is usually a good deal..................except for taxpayers![]()
