The labor market still stinks, despite a good jobs report

Things are good, if you ask economic optimists. The latest employment report showed 248,000 jobs created in September, with the unemployment rate dipping to 5.9%. Pressure will mount on the Federal Reserve to end its super-easy monetary policy and begin raising interest rates. And it's not a one-month fluke: Job creation this year has averaged roughly 220,000 new jobs per month, the best pace of job growth since the boom year of 1999.

Scary that this is probably as good as it gets. Most likely we continue to 'boom' here the next couple of years continued 200K+ jobs and continue to reflate assets benefiting those at the top tier but then what? Fed cheering disinflation in commodities and strong dollar means less of an urgent need to tighten? Of course the fed continues to do the work Congress doesn't want to do to pull one out of the GWB playbook<ng>
