68,000 jobs ADDED, not 750,000 jobs LOST. [View all] Atman Jun 2012 OP

As is explained every single month, Pale Blue Dot Jun 2012 #1

ADDED as opposed to LOST. Atman Jun 2012 #3

Did you read what I wrote? Pale Blue Dot Jun 2012 #4

Net positive CREATION is negative? We're not beating churn but POSITIVE is the correct direction uponit7771 Jun 2012 #7

If it takes 150,000 new jobs *each* month to maintain equilibrium, how is 68,000 good? Roland99 Jun 2012 #12

No, Roland...you're starting from a different place. Atman Jun 2012 #13

I'll agree 68,000 new jobs is better than an actual negative number but you're missing the point. Roland99 Jun 2012 #14

and, look at the trend downward now (March and April were revised down, too) Roland99 Jun 2012 #15

There are constraints, but we are not close to hitting those constraints. girl gone mad Jun 2012 #37

I love the fact that Obama is going to get blamed...NOT YellowRubberDuckie Jun 2012 #18

Oh, please, grow up. Last month's 115K was revised to 77K, so how low do you think that 69K Lionessa Jun 2012 #19

Here's a very simple analogy as to why this is a "negative" number >>>> Roland99 Jun 2012 #29

Sorry, Roland. You're an outlier. Atman Jun 2012 #30

I know of no other way to explain this to you (others have tried, as well) although I made it simple Roland99 Jun 2012 #31

"You're an outlier." You atman, could not be more wrong just1voice Jun 2012 #35
