kennyfearmonger losing more hair:Private payrolls grew by 189,000 jobs in November, far more than analysts had expected, according to Automatic Data Processing, an independent company. While the report is considered less important than the Labor Department’s measure of job growth, which will be released on Friday, the strong number took many market watchers by surprise. “That came out of left field, huh?” said Joshua Shapiro, chief United States economist at the research firm MFR. “It’s not a dead lock that we’re going to get a good payroll number, but it certainly caused me to raise my estimates.” October payrolls increased by 166,000 jobs, and economists had been expecting a gain of about 70,000 for November. The Dow Jones industrials gained more than 110 points, or 0.9 percent, in the first minutes of trading, reversing two days of declines and suggesting that investors viewed the report as a rare spot of good news for the ailing economy. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index also increased 0.9 percent, or 13 points, to 1,476.16, at 9:50 a.m. A separate report this morning showed that American workers were more efficient in the third quarter, even as salary growth slowed. A measure of worker efficiency increased 6.3 percent, the biggest gain in more than four years, up from a preliminary reading of 4.9 percent, the Labor Department said. Unit labor costs fell by 2 percent, down from a preliminary 0.2 percent decline.

Wrong again, Kenneth... 5 vetoes since then. Record is obstructionist. Here are your choices, Kenneth: 1. The Democrat controlled congress has sent many bills before George Bush and he has signed all but 5. Or 2. The Democrat controlled Congress has only sent 5 pieces of legislation to George Bush and he has vetoed all 5. If you select 1, George Bush is not an obstructionist. If you select 2, it proves the point that Democrat controlled congress has done nothing. Either way you lose. More disingenuous posting from you. Diz-
