Report: "August Job Growth Blows Past Expectations"

Last edited Thu Sep 6, 2012, 11:29 AM - Edit history (1)

Hope this bodes well for the report tomorrow:

----------

In the US, the ADP employment report showed a much greater-than-expected increase in payrolls in August. The US added 201,000 jobs last month, the payroll company said. ADP also revised up its estimate for July to 173,000 from 163,000. The biggest gains came from service-providing jobs. As usual, companies with fewer than 50 employees hired the most people last month. Initial claims for unemployment insurance unexpectedly fell by 9,000 last week to 365,000.

My first concern is to put people back to work.
My second concern is to watch all the Republicans' defeatist actions over the past few years go to waste.
My third concern is that I want the Koch Brothers and their ilk to wake up on November 7th and realize that they just blew a billion dollars buying an election but got outbid by the American People.

Yes, I realize that one month doesn't establish a trend, but it can bring hope.
