Un-Employment Number

Fire of Liberty

It's @ 5.2% which is .25% lower than it was September 11th, 2001. Such was caused by the addition of 146,000 new jobs. Such news sparked a 123 point rally on the DOW Jones to close at 10716.13. What a rally. These numbers also destroyed a canard created by Kerry partisans during the electon. According to Bloomberg.com:

The rise in January payrolls and revisions covering the last five years also were enough to allow President George W. Bush to avoid becoming the first president since Herbert Hoover to lose jobs during a term. The gains were enough to bring payroll employment to 132.57 million people, surpassing the previous peak in February 2001, a month before the world's largest economy entered an eight-month recession.

Oh joy, could it be true. Yes it is.
