The hurricanes clearly had an impact and 300,000-plus payroll increases aren't sustainable in the coming months, Wyss said. But monthly increases of 200,000 are realistic through the end of the year, he said.

Amid a rally on Wall Street, investors enthusiastically greeted the jobs numbers. In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 52 points. The Nasdaq gained 16 points.

The jobs report was good news for President Bush as he prepares for a second term. A generally weak job market plagued his re-election campaign, offering a political target to his Democratic challenger, John Kerry. The administration quickly took credit.

expect a 300 negative adjustment in January.

But the media will just ignore it when it happens. Thinking, analysis, projection of where we are into the future is not the media's thing.

They are lazy and just want to suck up to the corporations and the corporate spokesperson known as Bush - so they will go on just reading Roves PR handouts as if they were news!

After all, are we saying that our friends, the professional government employees, would allow the political appointee heads of their areas to put out half truth.implied falshood - indeed are we saying the government employee would not just resign because the paycheck for food and kids is not as important as the ethics reputation you gain by being a whistle blower that is ignored by the press, and destroyed by the GOP machine in the press?

So those PR handouts MUST BE REAL NEWS!

Damn, I am glad my media is so logical.
