In a pre-emptive  strike, even MM admits that today's job figures are good...then it is no surprise that he credits much of it to more optimism because the Rethuglcans had a good election outcome.  Give me a break!!  MM please explain the only even larger recent monthly increase (excepting for the census hiring month in 2009) in late 2012 when the GOP was on the ropes?

The FACTS in summary:

1/  321,000 !! new jobs in November and a big 44,000 upward adjustment in the Sept and Oct numbers to 520,000.

2/  Unemployment steady inspite of a big bump in the labor force.

3/  Employment has risen every month fo over 5 years.  Sonething that hasn't happened in decades.

4/  November is the 10th month when jobs increased by more than 200,000.

5/  The US economy has created more than 10.5 million new jobs since Jan 20, 2009.

6/  More than 8 times as many new jobs in the 71 months between Jan 2009 and today than in the 96 months between Jan 2001 and Dec 2009

7/  Almost 1.6 million new jobs in the last 6 months. We are heading toward 2.8 million new jobs in 2014...remind you of the 90's?

8/  More than 1.6 million more people are now working than at the 2007 pre-recession peak.  More Americans are bringing home the bacon than ever in our history!

OK all you Tea party nuts read it and start trying to figure out how to discredit these facts!!
