Yesterday's Jobs Numbers

Max is one of the best sources to make sense on these kinds of statistics. I think I've learned more on economics from Max than I did those college courses (and interestingly enough, I believe my economics professor was named George Bush - no really, he was an interesting man who made the topic far more alive than an 18-19 yr old can generally grasp).

The bottom line is that the jobs numbers are terrible. We're still very much embroiled in an economic mess, and failing to recognize this in the great zeal to re-elect this president, to ignore the nastiness in which we're consigning more to poverty, can hurt us in more ways than just another four years of Bush rich-boy lameness.
