Job Growth Surged in May, but Most Was Due to Temporary Census Hires

Maybe we should just all become census takers. Than the SEIU could organize us all as a union. We could demand more money, tenure, better benefits, and first class tickets to Greece.

Christina Romer, chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Adivisers, said the figures showed "continued signs of labor market recovery."----If this is their definition of a recovery, I would hate to see what a recession looks like.

I saw on a financial show yesterday where a Census worker claimed that she was hired and then let go and was rehired again for a total of four times. Each time she was hired it counted as a new job so this one person counted for five increases in employment. I am sure that she was not the only one. A Regional Census director verified this was a normal practice. There were 44,000 private jobs created. The article doesnt mention that 244,000 were created last month and that 100,000 jobs need to be created in the private sector each and every month to sustain the rate so forget about it.The Government doesnt count you as unemployed unless you are unemployed and have actively been seeking work for the last four weeks. The Unemployment rate went from 9.9% to 9.7% because 320,000 people had stopped looking for work because there is little work available.if you count all the unemployed then the average is 17% and has been at that level for at least a year.

Now that Obama has placed a moratorium on oil drilling in deep waters thousands of oil field workers will lose their jobs . The environmentalists will welcome this news though. I wonder how the next jobs report will look.

The Obama administration touted job growth back in December when the malls needed all those Santa Clauses too.

"Policies we put in place are working" --- true. No lie (for once). It's working just like they wanted ---- destroy private sector jobs; increase government jobs......make people dependent on the Govn't more and more and then they'll have more votes from them to make sure the entitlements, etc. stay...........slowly bringing in their radical Socialistic/Marxist agenda.

Does this count include the 1200 pencil pushers Obama is sending to the border to protect us?

Obama's Job "Stimulus Package" mostly went to the Government sector....Many economists commented at that time .........that more of the private sector should have had been stimulated......... which would be more lasting than creating more Government related jobs ... such as building infrastructure...like roads, bridges, and buildings.....because when these structures are completed.... the customers go away.....................The private sector was mostly ignored and the investments necessary to keep people at more lasting work never came to pass....That's why the unemployment rate now at 9.7% ........will only go higher once the 500,000 temporary census workers are finished with the 2010 census in August/September.

What's worse being unemployed or knowing you're going to have to work your tail off to pay for all this spending for entitlement programs? I think I'm going to grab my fishing pole my rifle and a bag of corn seed and move to the mountains. I know I can survive there.

Obama and Biden shouted from the rooftops in 2008, JOBS JOBS JOBS and they have done nothing, nada!
