Robust U.S. jobs report bolsters case for December rate hike
WASHINGTON | By Lucia Mutikani
U.S. job growth surged in October and the unemployment rate hit a 7-1/2-year low of 5.0 percent in a show of economic strength that makes it much more likely the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 271,000 last month, the largest rise since December 2014, the Labor Department said on Friday. In addition, average hourly earnings rose a respectable 9 cents. The payrolls jump followed tepid gains in August and September.
The unemployment rate now stands at its lowest level since April 2008 and is in a range many Fed officials see as consistent with full employment.

Funny, I thought according to Republicans in 2008, at this point in time we'd all be eating cat food in our collectivist Maoist uniforms while watching the daily preaching from President Obama's BFF Osama Bin Laden.
As certain people like to say, "Own it!".
So we will.

If you did, you would find out that Obama controls the statistics and simply makes up the numbers, and that people that stop looking for work are counted as employed.
Who needs facts when you have Faux News?

Since they are doing better then ever. Fix the economy in no time.
