Thumbs up Good Jobs Numbers in April
"The U.S. economy added a solid 223,000 jobs in April, according to government data released Friday morning, a key sign that the labor market is regaining its footing after taking a slide earlier this year.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent, a seven-year low." WaPo

After last month's shitty numbers, this is good news.

Not to worry.

Republican Party Spokesperson Ben Carson is setting everyone straight.

I am hiring part time for the summer.

No medical. No dental. No pension. No matching 401 anything.

The paychecks don't bounce and I am the best boss EVER.

Take it or leave it.

I didn't realize that 'catamitry' was still a job description in the Palmetto state.

Oh, snap.

It's a tough row to hoe down here.

I should have known that any word that ends in 'mite' is suspect.

No one really knows how many people are working/unemployed.

Everyone divines the #s to suit their own purposes.

Alchemy.

I am employed, so as far as I'm concerned the unemployment rate is 0%.

Don't you mess with Graham Cracker - his office got off their ass and straightened out my wife's immigration mess (caused by INS now CIS).
He actually called us and it wasn't an election year.

I am loyal - me not having to live full time in Bulgaria buys that.
