I saw this recent headline blaring, "Surge in Labor Force Shows U.S. Workers Gaining Confidence" and was uplifted — until way down into the article this little bit was unfortunately left in by some un-podded censor, "The gain in the labor force in part helps explain why the jobless rate jumped to 9.4 percent in May, the highest since 1983." Where did that icky guy come from? How many times under Bush did we see some version of, "true, the economy grew by 4% in the most recent quarter and unemployment remains at 5%, but economists expect a downturn soon."? Now they dare to report 9.4% unemployment as good news?!
