Quote from Kassz007:
+1
The cyclicals will come soon, but jobs are jobs. The main thing is that job growth is not falling at a greater pace, it is improving. More people with more money to spend is a good thing for the economy.

Quote from Jacob Fries:
Losing $1000 instead of $1100 is not a sign of improvement, it is simply less loss. The problem is not improving, not even levelling out.
A so-called "jobless recovery" is a fallacy, a lie. An economy out of recession would be a genuine domestic recovery or replacement of ALL jobs lost, exported, whatever, equal-wage. Nothing less. All other observations of recovery are speculation before the fact. Catching a falling knife remains very painful.
Quote from Kassz007:
You are wrong. Losing $1000 instead of $1100 is as sign of improvement. Think of the trend. Yes, losing any amount of jobs is not a good thing. But we are not going to get into job growth overnight. This is the process that has to happen. We lose a shitload of jobs (think January) and then the economy recovers so that fewer and fewer jobs are lost. Eventually we get to the point where no jobs are created or lost, and after that comes job growth. The trend in unemployment is bullish.
Quote from traderyin:
Some-what bullish Kassz. The laidoff has slowed, but there are also ~400k of folks dropped out of the labor force this month. Another ~600k+ more people into "not working" category. And up ~2 mil of people not working nor looking for job relative to last July. + consumers continue to delever and save. To reach positive GDP, Daddy Obama has to continue to spend.
