First the good news. Jobless claims were down in November and measured unemployment was at 10% (real unemployment is still over 17%). The bad news is that losses continue unabated in many sectors (manufacturing, IT, etc.) and most of the jobs that were added in November were temporary. Let's hope the trend regarding non-temporary jobs changes as well as soon as possible. My fear is that once the temporary job improvement in November and December abates we will be back to bigger losses. We shall see.

For sure the trumpeting of the government media is way off base as usual as they attempt to prop up the administration. I will give the Messiah credit that he is not overplaying the significance of this because I think he has been advised that more bad news is likely looming in the near future. Why he worries about that since the sycophantic government media will give him all the cover he would ever need is beyond me but good for him to be circumspect.
