| US June Labor Report: Almost All Net Job Growth From Census Hiring |
| 2010-06-04 |
| Total nonfarm payroll employment grew by 431,000 in May, reflecting the hiring of 411,000 temporary employees to work on Census 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Private-sector em- ployment changed little (+41,000). Manufacturing, temporary help ser- vices, and mining added jobs, while construction employment declined. The unemployment rate edged down to 9.7 percent. [and from the A12 report we find that long term unemployment kept rising, however, from the A-15 report, household survey we find that the U-4, U-5 and U-6 unemployment rates, which count discouraged workers improved slightly] |

| #2 That unemployment rate is the worst for Bammy. By falling, it indicates that workers are leaving the labor force, not that more people are working. And discouraged workers tend not to vote for the party in power. The only good news is that because of the oil spill, most people may not notice. |

| #1 I got hired 3 separate times for essentially the same job. Hey, look at me! I'm an employment statistic. Woo Woo! |
