Today's BLS of 244,000 is great... until you exclude the 62,000 from McDonalds hirings, and 175,000 from the Birth Death Adjustment, and end up with.... +7,000 jobs.
Editor Note: Two things to think about - Over 400,000 Americans are being laid off each week, there are 4.25 weeks in a month, which means over 1.7 million people are being laid off each month. Top it off with a Birth/Death # of 175,000...
