They certainly were cheering when those numbers came out. Funny, no one bothered to mention the big chunk of jobs that came back into the totals when several large strikes ended, including the ones at Vons and Safeway. Those wouldn't really be newly created jobs, now would they?
They didn't seem to notice that the total unemployment rate for the nation went UP last month, either. Took them until nearly noon to get around to that little gem.
One final humorous note. Elaine Chao, Bush's Secretary of Employers, uh Labor, was nowhere to be found last month when the numbers weren't so hot. But they sure trotted her out like clockwork this morning.
