    I've NEG REPPED you for trying to create a smokescreen via your detailed requests, in order to hide your inability to refute his points.

    I actually think the young folks in the Middle East who are overthrowing our oil tyrants/ and or consumers in China and India are doing more to cause your company to bid on projects as the price of oil goes up then imagined gains from libertarianism/anti-regulation schemes.

    Unfortunately, it looks like all the jobs added in March were part-time. Of the 291,000 added, 290,000 were part-time. Better than no jobs gained though.

    Uh....what wiingnut listserv/blog/bbs did you get this sh-t off of? Because it is indicative of an EPIC reading comprehension fail on your part.

    From the BLS official release:

    Commas and zeros = not your friends today :(

    I realize that you're a full of crap joke user ID a la NewYorker, and not worth arguing with, but if you want to yank the chains of the Andymoons and the JuanValdez' of the universe, you got to bring more than that son.

    I'm going to apply the tallanvor statistical analysis method, which involves liberal interpretation of decimal points, under which:

    the economy created 2.9 MILLION jobs, and unemployment has been lowered to 0.88 percent! Happy. Days. Here. Again.

    It was an April Fool's joke posted here:

    http://minx.cc/?post=314209

    I should of known this was not the place to reiterate April Fool's jokes. Not quite mature enough.

    BTW, 291,000 is not the number of jobs added this month.

    Here is this recession compared to previous. Note the lack of recovery.

    What mistake would that be?

    http://bls.gov/news.release/empsit.a.htm

    Take a close look at those numbers. Especially the part-time ones...................


    (I don't expect an apology)

    I don't expect an apology from you either even thouh you apparently don't understand the difference between gross and net -

    that's why you're taking the gross temp jobs add ons and subtracting them from the net jobs created overall. While not acknowledging that the net temp job add ons, was about 260,000 south (or, ONE FULL DECIMAL PLACE) of your bullsh-t number.

    suck it, newyorker.

    the net temp-job increase was 290,000:

    net part time for economic reasons: 93,000
    net part time for non economic reasons: 197,000

    added they equal: 290,000

    what part of this do you not agree with?
