20. TRUMAD picked it up. It's on another thread.

[ET Awful]

4. 200,000 last quarter. . . . BUAHAHAHAHA

Sorry, but you need damn near that many per month just to allow for new entries into the job market. You need that many per month again to make up for the ones that have been lost in the past 4 years.

[Drifter]

5. 96 K is September ...

MSGOP mentions the quarter.

What I find odd is that the LARGE headline says 300,000 New Jobs, but the first line says 200,000.

Hmmm.

7. Unbelievable

What happened to the whole thing where the US population expands so that you need to create 200k+ jobs a MONTH just to keep up with the population. Basically you need to create around 2.5 million new jobs every year in order to keep up with population growth. Thats without losing any jobs, but positive growth. Therefore you need around 600k to 700k at least per quarter just to keep up with population.

300k New Jobs!
Boost For Bush!

The NYT and Reuters are right. 300k jobs were created, and the numbers per month are dropping to under 100k (96k) new jobs created in September.

See...that means that in the past quarter effectively 300k more people want to work but can't, and this past month it's over 100k of that.

MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves. This is obvious to anyone who looks at the information, so to use this NEGATIVE story as if it's good for Bush...well it's just astounding.

8. Oh man, this is a freaking disaster for Bush

Could the report have been much worse?

[durablend]

10. Of course it could've...

If it reported a job loss we could've proclaimed the election all but over.

[secular_warrior]

15. They changed it - put in AP story

US Payrolls grew modestly in September
Employers added only 96,000 jobs, less than expected


The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Companies added 96,000 jobs to their payrolls in September, fewer than economists forecast for the last employment report before Election Day, highlighting a modest pace of hiring that has become an issue in President Bush’s bid for re-election.

18. Now they're saying "in a blow to Bush"

Modest payroll growth
In a blow to President Bush, the U.S. economy created only 96,000 new jobs in September, fewer than economists had predicted. • FULL STORY

19. CNN is telling the truth for once. What gives?

5 minutes ago it was a 'side' story. Now it's headlined on the front page.

September job growth weaker

Gain slows from August, misses economists' forecasts; jobless rate holds at 5.4%.
October 8, 2004: 8:45 AM EDT

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - U.S. employers added 96,000 jobs in September while the unemployment rate stayed unchanged, according to a government report Friday that came in weaker than Wall Street expectations.

21. GOP's favorite job report, the household survey, shows 585000 jobs lost

Household Jobs show disaster-labor force drops 1 million, job loss of 585K

The GOP's favorite DOL jobs number, the Household survey number, shows bigger Job disaster than shown in the anemic 96,000 jobs gain in the payroll survey jobs number. The Household Survey reports 201,000 lost jobs in September since 139,681,000 were "seasonal adjusted" employed in Aug less 139,480,000 of Seasonal adjusted folks Employed in Sept., and that is a drop of 201,000 jobs. If you prefer numbers that are not seasonally adjusted, then 140,226,000 less 139,641,000, or 585,000 jobs were lost in Sept.

And that Steady 5.4% Unemployment rate is based on folks no longer being in the labor pool and therefore not counted as unemployed. The seasonal adjusted change is from 147,704,000 looking for work or employed in August to 147,483,000 looking for work or employed in Sept, or 221,000 folks dropped out. If you like non-seasonally adjusted numbers, then 148,166,000 less 147,186,000, or a huge 980,000 folks stopped looking for work or being employed in Sept.

NEARLY ONE MILLION FOLKS STOPPED LOOKING FOR WORK OR BEING EMPLOYED IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
