U.S. Adds Most Jobs In Neary Three Years, Unemployment Rate Steady, Labor Market Expands, Wages Leap
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/321000-jobs-added-to-economy-in-november-2014-12-05?dist=lcountdown
...............................
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) The U.S. added 321,000 new jobs in November to mark the biggest gain in nearly three years, extending the strongest streak of hiring in several decades. Virtually every industry added employees, and many of the new jobs were in fields that pay well.
Hiring was also revised up by a combined 44,000 in the prior two months, offering more evidence that the U.S. economy could be gearing up for its best year of growth in 2015 since the end of the Great Recession.
The nations unemployment rate, meanwhile, held steady at a six-year low of 5.8%, the Labor Department reported Friday.

People who gripe about how the recovery isn't good should consider what the Republicans have wanted as an alternative- more offshoring, more tax breaks for the rich, more taxes on the poor, more service cuts for the poor. Think that would have produced great paying jobs for millions?
We have 2 choices. Make the one better, the other is hopeless.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)with the choices made to head the reelection committees,appears what the end game was,take down all the weak sisters and clear the deck for the Clinton's. This TTP deal is part of what I said was the take over of our Party by the Corporatist's. Yes,apparently the Party Leadership is going to tolerate a small number of liberal members,but,the way forward is the Blue Dog type of members. With the announcement of this TTP deal by Obama couple of days ago,man has the real internal dealing of our Party,come to the surface and now the true players are doing what ever it takes to get the Corporatist mandate threw before Clinton comes on stage. Interesting to say the least,remember the flack Billie got for NAFTA,Hillary can't be blamed and she will not get cornered by any statement on this subject.

And these were Democrats!
Just tell me that Fox News doesn't pull the strings in this country.

(14,178 posts)Is that Republican politicians constantly self-congratulate themselves and act incredulous if anyone suggests they have no reason to.
Democratic politicians constantly wasting time and are on the defense against silly trumped up "scandals" and lies. Meanwhile they had many indicators to boast about last mid terms and actually ride Obama's coattails. Come out with the message of a strong united SUCCESSFUL party including the President. Make the Democratic Party's accomplishments - against what they had to dig the country out of - a reason to celebrate!
Thus there is always the perception in the MSM, not without some collusion on their part, that the Democrat politicians don't like Obama either, and are always infighting.
All these indicators of the economy looking good. Can you imagine if it was Dubya in charge now? He and his posse would be crowing day and night.

That ANYONE could pull the US out of this mess is actually a miracle.
Our President deserves much THANKS for this recovery and more!
