We need to get serious. You know the 533,000 jobs lost in November will be revised higher, they always are.
Bureau of Labor Statistics'commission Keith Hall presented his report to the Joint Economic Committee this morning, and said that it was “one of the worst jobs reports” in the agency’s 124-year history
HALL: If I were to characterize this jobs report I would say it’s very dismal jobs report. There’s very little in this report that’s positive. This is maybe one of the worst jobs reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics has ever produced.Republicans will shamelessly use this indictment of their 8 years of horrible Bush policy to say they should make the tax cuts for the rich permanent.
CUMMINGS: Ever?
HALL: Yes.
CUMMINGS: And how long has the Bureau been around?
HALL: 124 years.
CUMMINGS: 124 years. And so that means we’re sliding down the slippery slope fast.
