Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40236320 By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Hiring was surprisingly weak in January for a second straight month, likely renewing concern that the U.S. economy might be slowing after a strong finish last year. Employers added 113,000 jobs, the government said Friday, far fewer than the average monthly gain of 194,000 last year. Job gains have averaged just 154,000 the past three months, down from 201,000 in the preceding three. The sluggish job growth may reflect what investors and economists have begun to fear: That the U.S. job market is weakening again, along with sectors like manufacturing and retail sales in the United States and abroad. The weakness might also raise doubts about the Federal Reserve's plans to steadily reduce its economic stimulus this year. Still, more people began looking for work in January, a sign that they were optimistic about finding work. Some of these people found jobs, thereby reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent in December. That's the lowest rate since October 2008. Soon after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, investors pulled back from stocks and shifted into safer U.S. bonds, sending bonds yields sharply lower. But then stock futures rose back above the levels where they had traded before the news. And the yield on the 10-year Treasury crept back toward its earlier level. Cold weather likely held back hiring in December, economists said, though the impact faded in January. Construction firms, which sometimes stop work in bad weather, added 48,000 jobs last month.

[link to www.ajc.com] All the 6.6 reflects is people were discouraged looking for work and stopped - so these people are no longer counted. The unemployment number could eventually reach 0 when nobody is working, and nobody is looking for jobs. 100% people not working, but the unemployment report would say everyone is working. 0% unemployment rate. Do a google on u1, u2 and u6 unemployment rate and see that the government should be reporting u6 and not u2. They should report all people actively and not actively looking for work, instead of just actively looking for work |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 53628973 United States 02/07/2014 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP, Did you ever once stop and consider that the Federal Extended Unemployment Benefits Program has lapsed as of Dec. 31, 2013? That means that all of the people that were receiving the extended unemployment benefits were effectively dropped from the unemployment roll numbers. Hence, a drop in the overall unemployment number as those people that were dropped are no longer counted as unemployed. This nothing but true manipulation of numbers for the sheeple to embrace, give praise and thanks to this failed President and his Administration. OBAMA=FAILURE |
