read it and weep.
The Labor Department reported Friday that the economy created a tepid 96,000 jobs in August, well below the 125,000 expected by economists and a far stretch from the plus-250,0000 needed to show robust growth. The unemployment rate slid to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent as more Americans gave up looking for work.
of course obama fans will yell 'look at the lower unemployment rate!!! it's fantastic!' without looking at why it's lower. just push that aside with all the other negative bs. after all, rose-colored glasses evidently come with blinkers so that you can't see all the ugly detritus laying in the periphery.
