Good news for my brothers and sisters in the building trades.

"Zandi noted that the job gains measured by ADP were broad-based. Construction employment, for example, rose by 21,000 as the housing market continues to heal. Improvement in that sector has also spilled over into the auto industry, which reported this week that June sales came close to an annual rate of 16 million vehicles — a level not seen since before the recession. Much of the demand is for trucks, which are closely linked to construction and housing." WaPo

Unfortunately still not adding enough jobs to lower the unemployment rate. That number, I believe, needs to be in the 250K to 260K range.

True that but I'll take it over the Bush legacy of '08-'09. We might be even closer to your target if the crazies in the House would stop trying to tank everything in sight.

Could be much better if the Tea Party was not dragging us down.

I thought that the left's position was that the stimulus worked?
