US Economy Adds 248,000 New Jobs (http://cio-today.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_title=US-Economy-Adds---------New-Jobs&story_id=24432)
For the ninth consecutive month, the US economy appeared to be on the upswing, with 248,000 jobs added in the month of May.......
.....May's increase of 248,000 payroll jobs exceeds market expectations and is the 9th straight month of job creation. 1.4 million jobs have been created since August 2003....
.."In the last 4 months, 91,000 manufacturing jobs have been created, reversing a 42 month job decline in manufacturing employment. Also, manufacturing employment was revised upward from the previous two months: 14,000, for a positive 23,000 jobs gained in March, and by 8,000 in April for a positive gain of 29,000," Chao stated...
Spinmeisters?

could be good news. except that the bulk of 'manufacturing jobs created' where created by reclassifying food-service jobs as 'manufacturing' jobs.
no need to spin it, the numbers where already spun to get those results.
"I work in the manufacturing industries, building cheeseburgers" :rolleyes:

It's not the economy, it's Iraq stupid......

Interpret it how you see fit. Some see it as fishing for a reaction to the possibility of re-classifying fast food employees from service to manufacturing workers. Others see it just as an observation in the economic report that the definition of manufacturing workers is "fuzzy."
As far as I know, though, they haven't actually started counting Fast Food employees as manufacturing workers.

and the bbs war starts all oave again :rolleyes: :) :D :o :p :cool:

The price of plywood went up because of Iraq.
I guess this war is making benefiting someone body.
-
Yeah, I hear the Canucks make most of the plywood now. Well, them and the Asians.
Maybe the economy is recovering just on plywood profits alone?

Well the majority of Americans appear to disagree....
• Fifty-six percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 41% approve. That is the highest disapproval number and lowest approval number of the Bush presidency.
• Fifty-five percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, and 42% approve. Again, the approval number is the lowest and the disapproval number is the highest of any survey Gallup has taken on the question, dating back to late October 2002. On foreign affairs overall, Bush gets 42% approval and 53% disapproval — again, a record low on approval and a record high on disapproval.
Think your boy can go into the high 30's for approval ratings? I'm thinking of a about a 38 or lower by Nov - he's not going to get voted out of office he's going to be laughed out of office.

Riddle me this batman - what does it mean when the majority of the "polled" Americans agree or disagree with anything?
The Americans these polsters poll seem to flip-flop every month.
And really, are they experts in anything? What does the average American know about running an economy?
Diddly squat! All the average American knows, is that Gas prices are higher, Americans are dying in Iraq, and congress is spending Billions on a country most of them would not even know existed or where it was on the map, until the nightly news plastered it all over the TV... EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 10 years... and I bet you a pay check there are still a lot of Americans who couldn't tell you what Contenant Iraq is even on!
Ok my point.... polls and American opinion are BS - it changes with their pocket book and what happens to be on TV that night.
ok that's my cynical 2 cents.

The hatred in ur country is very deep and huge. Many of u have to learn what respect means even though one did not agree with the opposite opinion.

If you look at polls and election results there is a clear indication that to win an election in America, one requires an approval rating over 50% to do so - less than 50% and candidates lose - or so it's been for the last 60 years.
However my response was to Nuke - he called Iraq a great success - obviously there is a difference in the versions of English we speak since as I understand the word it's anything but a success - I was merely pointing out that when asked their opinion on the matter the majority of Americans opinion is that would differ from that of Nuke.

Whats really funny is the lack of historical perspective displayed by otherwise knowledgeable people.
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

If you think a President, any President, is going to suddenly reverse nearly three decades of job losses to overseas you really don't understand the "world economy", "free trade", "most favored nation status" and a few other things.
Get used to it; it's not over yet by a long shot.
