Jobs numbers are tricky things. Politicians will always tell you what you want to hear and leave out what they don’t want you to hear. So it is no surprise that we are getting the same old song and dance, that "the economy created private sector jobs again." That’s a nice thing to hear, but is it an improvement or are we still arranging deck chairs on the Titanic?
Deck chair anyone?
Unemployment is still at 9.6 percent and despite claims of job growth for ten months, unemployment has been at or above 9.6% for 20 months.
The numbers do not add up.
