re: #682 Sigma_x
Yeah, those are considered temporary positions. But the fact remains that there were 233K private sector jobs added in April - the most since 2006 and the biggest uptick since 1983. They also revised the numbers for February and March upwards 90K. So that’s basically lets say 400K jobs added in 3 months, as opposed to the economy shedding over 600K jobs a month just a year ago.
And the unemployment rate went up to 9.9%. Let’s throw a party!
