#1 How many went to Americans (those from the US, not hemisphere)?

The monthly employer BLS data does not give that information.

The information you want is derived from the household survey and is difficult to understand.

The Center for immigration studies spends a lot of time trying to get a handle on that and, although they have some talented people, I'm not sure they really can estimate that well.

#3 Considering workforce participation has been as bad as it was in 2008 and the only job "growth" has barely kept up with population growth I would say that the economy is still in the same shape, if not worse than 2008.

The problem is now we don't have any "tricks" left to fix it as we used them all. The continuing deterioration of the world economy with China and the EU going down will bring things really crashing down.

It is just a question of how fast it happens. A slow collapse will just bring pain, but hopefully not to much civil unrest. A quick collapse has the potential to cause massive and violent unrest and civil wars.

#4 Also with these reports about August and Sept. being disasters and looking like a big recession is coming.

I hope not, but I don't feel very optimistic about things.

#5 I understand ~10k people are retiring each day. I wonder if that was properly factored into these reports.

And wait until next Month on a Friday after 5:00pm when they release the updated numbers.

#6 More news:

For a third month in a row, native-born Americans saw their job numbers tumble while immigrants experience solid gains.

Little wonder both parties are hell bent on keeping the border open.

#8 Hawaii to Kilimanjaro,
A land of perpetual sorrow,
Where victims laugh, twerking,
While jerks are half-working --
Obamastan, Land of Tomorrow!

#9 A land

A place, even. Among other obvious edits. Drifting I am, lately. Sowwy.

#10 The best part -- these numbers typically get revised down once the news cycle has passed.
