March Jobs Report Below expectations

http://www.cnbc.com/id/102559510

The sputtering U.S. economy created just 126,000 jobs in March as bad weather, weak consumer spending and flailing corporate profits resulted in the worst report since December 2013.

However, the overall unemployment rate held steady at 5.5 percent, as a generational low in labor force participation helps keep the figure low.

What was that unemployment rate when your boy Bush left office?

When Obama took office in January 2009, the country was in the grips of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. That month, the unemployment rate stood at 7.8% and climbing. The next month, it rose to 8.3% and kept rising until it hit a peak of 10.0% in October 2009. However, President Obama’s stimulus package, along with other initiatives, helped create jobs and reverse the trend.

Only an HR flack would complain about a historically low unemployment rate.

Good morning, whell! You must be very happy.

A snapshot of one month doesn't mean shit, of course. The March employment figures are just the most recent in an unbroken string of positive job growth dating back to March 2010.

Meanwhile, your guy.........

I imagine he views himself as a modern day Daniel in the lions den slaying those evil libruls with the jawbone of an ass -or- he's just got a bad case of Obama Derangement Syndrome.
