The Economy Turns the Corner It’s an election year and the Republicans who were counting on riding a lousy economy into the Oval Office may have skidded off the road. Two reports today — one showing robust job growth and declining unemployment from this morning and another showing the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching its highest mark in 11 years out this afternoon. Things are getting better. It could be a Blue Fall for Republicans. This morning’s job news from The Washington Post: The nation’s unemployment rate dropped for the fifth straight month in January, to 8.3 percent, its lowest level in three years, the Labor Department reported Friday, with widespread hiring across the economy. The number of jobs grew by 243,000, the government said. A closer look at January’s employment picture, including unemployment rate, jobs added, and unemployment rate by sector. The Labor Department recorded gains in many parts of the economy. The manufacturing industry added 50,000 jobs; the leisure and hospitality businesses added 44,000; and the health care industry added 30,000. In all, the ranks of the unemployed dropped to 12.8 million in January from 13.1 million the month before. The report also revised November’s payroll numbers, saying that the economy added 157,000 [...] The Liberal OC - Challenging Orange County's right-wing noise machine
