There was a gain of 9,000 jobs year-over-year. I wouldn't get too excited over the monthly job gain, as it could disappear the next time BLS revisits it. The economy as a whole, sucks.
Anyhow, I watched the news this morning, before the labor report came out, and was angered by the pure fluff. Perfect example of a country full of lemmings with no interest in anything but the banal. RuTTTgers firing its basketball coach is the most important thing happening? We're one errant bullet away from a massive war in Korea. Syria and Iran aren't going away, either.
