re: Sluggish Job Growth May Threaten Recovery
The unemployment rate has been dropping a steady point a month since July. If we had a Democratic president, you'd be holding frigging ticker tape parades.
Obviously, as some point the rate of drop in the unemployment rate will flatten out or pop up a point for a month, and then I would bet that suddenly we'll find that this statistic will become critical to the media again.
Every other economic indicator is taking off. You'd better hope that employment doesn't improve, since it's the last straw the Democrats have to cling to in the economy.
