That News Wasn't Buried

It was enough to help Bush in economy approval even if it wasn't raved about. In a normal recovery these types of awesome 300K+ numbers continue for more than 2 months. We had years of 200,000 jobs/mo increases under Clinton/Republican Congress. This is a weak recovery Tom, but it is a recovery. We still face the spectre of a double dip recession if oil prices don't drop.

Mark
