Based on your misunderstanding of what you read and your inability to make valid political points on what Bernanke stated, She was talking about you when she said that.
That's right...you will not attribute that name to me.
You wish sargon.
Just more facts:
290,000 gain in the month of April? We have to gain 150,000 just to keep pace with the labor growth. And do you know how many people lost their job last WEEK? And the WEEK before that?

Unemployment went up...not down.

^lololololol... and up pops the troll, lying her ass off, as usual.
+290,000 is the NET change for the month.
But hey, thanks for the laughs, and thanks for proving that you're as dishonest and ignorant as ever.

You're talking about April. The quote mentions week ending May 8.
But the overall point is that jobless claims have not improved in Six Months.
For six months the four week average has returned close to 450,000 with no improvement.
Unemployment rose to 9.9 and Truer Unemployment rose to 17.1 despite the addition of 290,000 jobs because more the same number of people remain unemployed. The jobless remain jobless. The "net" adding and subtracting doesn't count everyone who is jobless. Losing 450,000 jobs a week keeps unemployment unimproved or worse - on the rise.

Since you like to dwell on raw numbers, try these on for size... According to the BLS' household survey, the economy actually added 1.319 million new jobs last month.
Go to table A-1 of the BLS release, which can be found here:
Table A-1. Employment status of the civilian population by sex and age
Line 4 tells us that there were 137,983K employed people in March, and 139,302K employed people in April.
139,302K - 137,983K = +1,319K.
What that means is, the raw data shows an increase of 1.319 million jobs in one month.
To wit;
Oh, and by all means, keep whining that these numbers aren't from May (which obviously aren't available yet, seeing that it's only May 13th)... And I'll happily dig up your intellectually dishonest remarks in a few weeks when the May numbers are available and we'll all laugh at your some more.

You don't even know what you are talking about.
Sad really. But produce some articles touting 1.319 million jobs created in one month...or quit while you're behind. :wink:

I also found it hard to believe, but the BLS doesn't make this stuff up...
One BLS survey queries actual households and extrapolates how many people are employed (CPS)... The other queries businesses and extrapolates how many people are on the payroll. (CES)...
They do two different surveys, because the answers are different, depending on what's going on in the labor market. From what I understand, the difference in the numbers is attributed to self-employed and other non-payroll workers, especially farmers. But when it boils down to it, all that matters is whether or not people are getting a paycheck, not who they are working for.
If you really want to see something interesting, check out the merged report, which the idiot MSM almost never talks about, even though it's really the only one they should talk about imo...

Not to be splitting hairs here but I'm also kinda curious about what "kind" of jobs these are suppose to be. Are these temporary positions such as tax preparers and cenus workers or are these permanent positions that pay decent wages and have benefits. IMO I don't think that seasonal positions should be counted as creating jobs.

^Just read the actual report bro, and you'll understand. The material isn't that heady.
(which is why I keep posting the actual reports, so people can find out for themselves, rather than be subject to the ramblings of trolls like Trinity, who cherry pick biased commentary, then lie to people about it and present it as 'fact')
