HUGE BEAT: US JOBS REPORT DEMOLISHES EXPECTATIONS, UNEMPLOYMENT RATE PLUNGES TO 6.1%

The U.S. added 288,000 jobs in June; expectations were for an addition of 215,000 in non-farm payrolls.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest jobs report also showed the unemployment rate fell to 6.1% from 6.3%.

Last month's report was also revised, with non-farm payrolls growing by 224,000 in May, better than the previously reported 217,000.

The labor force participation rate remained unchanged at 62.8%, the third straight month that measure has remained steady. The employment to population ratio was reported at 59%, little changed over the month but up by 0.3% year-over-year.

Average hourly wages grew 2%, which was slightly better than the 1.9% increase that had been expected.

DAMN YOU, OBAMA!!

Just think what this headline would be if those ass bags in the House would have gotten a JOBS bill. Then, get off your ass and GOTV in 2014.

Now if only people would start appreciating President Obama and getting his approval ratings up. That would help a ton in mid-terms.

Oh and look at the Dow soaring for the first time over the 17,000 record.

The cognitive dissonance that goes on in Republican brains
must be erupting with great distress.

Gobama !!!
