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.

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