Another 165,000 Jobs Added
The US Dept of Labor announced the addition of another 165,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.5%.
The US has been gaining jobs for 38 months in a row. When Bush left office we were losing an average of 750,000 jobs a month. What a difference.
The report also substantially boosted the number of new jobs created in the prior two months. March's payrolls were raised to 138,000, some 50,000 more than previously reported, and February's job count was revised up to 332,000, the largest since May 2010.
And if Congress wasn't so busy trying to sabotage the American workforce for their own political gain with this ongoing "sequestration," the economy would be even more robust.

Another Big Month of American Job Growth
Congrats to President Obama and to the American worker! Forward!
From NBC News:
The unemployment rate dropped to 7.7 percent in November, the lowest in four years, as the U.S. economy generated a stronger-than-expected 146,000 jobs, the Labor Department said Friday.
The Labor Department added that Superstorm Sandy, which many had expected to dampen job creation, did not have a substantial impact on the national data.
“It looks like the job market is holding firm,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “That’s encouraging in light of all the fiscal uncertainties.”
Economists had expected non-farm payrolls to rise about 93,000 and the jobless rate to hold steady at 7.9 percent.
