The Sickly, Stagnant September Jobs Report

Pethokoukis:  Only in an era of depressingly diminished expectations could the September jobs report be called a good one. It really isn’t. Not at all.

And here is the chart again (where Obama claimed we would be with Stimulus and where we are):

Pethokokis:  The awful, awful August jobs report.



Key point:  "If the labor force participation rate was the same as when Obama took office in January 2009, the unemployment rate would be 11.2%."
