5. Don't I know it

:mad:
When you average-in the CEO's salaries, who earn thousands of times more than their workers, it ends up looking okay though. Never did trust the tv news bullshit rosie scenario after Reagan had them 'on bended knee' (good book).

6. Kick for the day-walkers

7. Job growth since 2003 Q4 (FLATLINED!) (Graphic Format)

Assuming 160,000 jobs/mo. need to be created for equilibrium.


Someone please correct me if the 160,000/mo. is inaccurate.

8. I thought that stat was over 300K jobs per month

:shrug:

Maybe someone has the correct stat.

9. I found two articles at Economic Policy Institute from early and late 2004

that showed 137,000 and then 150,000, respectively.

Given population growth and that the LFPR has picked up of late, 160,000 sounds like a fair assessment.

10. Forward this on to anyone that tells you the economy is doing great!
