522<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32.4px;">The robust data provides more evidence&nbsp;that the job market is nearing a full recovery six years after the recession officially ended. The jobless rate peaked at 10 percent in 2009 and is now closing in on what many economists believe to be its lowest sustainable level.</span><br />

524<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32.4px;">October's jobs increased across a broad swath of industry segments. Administrative and support services added 46,000 workers, and the health care industry added a similar number. Retailers and restaurants added more than 40,000 positions each, while construction employment increased by 31,000.</span><br />

They find that since 2010, the economy has produced 6.6 million employment opportunities, 2.9 million of which are considered good jobs (a term they use for jobs in the upper-third by median wages of occupations in which they are classified). The key findings of the report reveal that 2.8 million of these good jobs went to college graduates. Some of the largest growing professions seek highly-skilled workers and offer large benefit packages. Most good jobs are full time and twice as likely to provide health insurance and retirement plans.

697market, and the slow pace of economic recovery has
698left many people apprehensive about embracing any
699positive news on the jobs front. The prevailing narrative
700in the early months of the recovery described young
701people graduating from college and being unable to find
702positions in their fields of study. They sometimes settled
703for low-paying, part-time jobs, often in retail and food
704services industries, because such positions were all
705they could find. But that is just a small part of the story.
706The larger picture shows that as the recovery
707accelerated, more high-quality, good jobs were created,
708and for the most part, they were filled by highly-skilled
709professionals with postsecondary education. A more
710accurate description of the common experience in this
711jobs recovery is of college graduates finding good jobs
712with benefits."<br />

764<div class='post-header-line-1'></div>

766The US economy continues to add jobs...
767
768The US economy added 215,000 jobs in July, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 5.3%, meeting expectations.<br />
769<br />
770So far this year, job gains have averaged 208,000 a month. &nbsp;
770That's about 1.5 million new jobs this year thus far.<br />
771<br />
772&#8220;...yet another solid employment report&#8221;, said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.<br />
773<br />
774Additionally last week, applications for unemployment benefits increased by a meager 3,000 to about 270,000. The four-week average dropped to 268,250, close to such low levels not seen for nearly 15 years.<br />
775<br />
776Such near-historic lows point to a healthy job market, according to economists.
777
778&#8220;Initial claims for unemployment insurance have been below 300,000 for 22 straight weeks, the longest such stretch since 1973,&#8221; said Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services. &#8220;Claims are running at a pace consistent with monthly job growth of better than 200,000.&#8221;<br />
779<br />
780This additional report of an increase of more than 200,000 jobs implies a continued downtrend in unemployment, according to Jim O&#8217;Sullivan, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics. Such a downtrend would reinforce the Fed&#8217;s assessment of the jobs market and recent employment gains as &#8220;solid&#8221; and get the unemployment rate to within the 5% to 5.2% range that most Fed officials consider to be consistent with "full employment."<br />

845To put that in perspective, it is&nbsp;the strongest quarter of growth since 2003.&nbsp; That's right: the best quarterly growth in 11 years!<br />
846 <br />
847"...There is&nbsp;no doubt the economy has been great this year," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC.<br />
848<br />
849 Others on Wall Street&nbsp;agree and continue to&nbsp;send the stock market to record highs with the <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/23/investing/stocks-markets-dow-18000/index.html?iid=EL">Dow index now&nbsp;crossing 18,000</a> for the first time ever.<br />
850<br />
851Growth came&nbsp;from all major segments&nbsp;with business investment, consumer spending, housing, exports and government spending all showing signs of robust strength in this week's report.<br />
852<br />
853All of those healthy reports explain why hiring has increased dramatically this year. Employers added 321,000 jobs in November, making 2014 the <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/05/news/economy/november-jobs-report/index.html?iid=EL">strongest year for job growth since 1999.</a>&nbsp; Again -- underscore this and&nbsp;make no mistake: this year has been the&nbsp;best year for job growth in 15 years!<br />
854<br />
855Finally...for the first time in seven years, more than half of Americans think the economy is in good shape, according to a new <a href="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2014/images/12/23/economy.poll.12.23.pdf?iid=EL" target="_blank">CNN/ORC poll released on Tuesday.</a> That marks a big improvement from October when just 38% of Americans said economic conditions were somewhat or very good.<br />

1120<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Real GDP growth for the second quarter was raised to an annualized rate of 2.5 percent compared to the initial estimate of 1.7 percent and compared to a fourth quarter rise of 1.1 percent. Expectations were for 2.2 percent.</span><br />
1121<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;" />
1122<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">The upward revision to GDP growth was mainly due to a sharp upward revision to net exports. Also, there were improvements to inventories and nonresidential structures investment.</span><br />
1123<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;" />
1124<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Comparisons to the first quarter of the year showed that the increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, exports, private inventory investment, nonresidential fixed investment, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a negative contribution from federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.</span><br />

1182<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">The market forecast was for only a 1.6 percent increase. The transportation component on the index spiked 11.9 percent. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders increased 1.3 percent, following a rise of 1.2 percent in November.

1459The U.S. economy added 146,000 jobs in November, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7% from 7.9% in October, the Labor Department said. 
1460
1461That's the lowest unemployment rate since December 2008.
1462
1463"Our analysis suggests that Hurricane Sandy did not substantively impact the national employment and unemployment estimates for November," the Labor Department said in a press release.

1513<div class='post-body entry-content'>
1514Stocks have lots of room to run, said Goldman Sachs senior investment strategist Abby Joseph Cohen at the Bloomberg Hedge Fund conference in New York Wednesday morning.
1515Cohen, a 22 year veteran of Goldman Sachs, estimates that even after the 2012 market rally, stocks could rise another 10% to 15% in 2013. 
1516
1517While Congress has given the U.S. population reason to worry about taxes and the fiscal cliff, the overall fundamentals of the U.S. economy are healthy, and consumers have money to spend, Cohen said.
1518
1519Moreover, the U.S. has been reducing its debt relative to its growth domestic product during the past few years. She noted that debt was 4% of GDP for the fiscal year that started in October compared to an 11% ratio in 2008.
1520
1521"We are slowly growing our way out of the most extreme version of the debt crisis," she said.

1571November was a solid month for the nation's manufacturers based on the PMI index from Markit Economics which shows a final reading of 52.8, up four tenths from the flash reading and up a sharp 1.8 points from October. Very encouraging is a good description for the details which show accelerating monthly growth for new orders and for output. New exports orders show their first monthly increase since May. Backlog orders are in the plus column for the first time since August. Employment growth is steady and respectable.

1621The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had increased in October, also posted a moderate increase in November. The Index now stands at 73.7, up from 73.1 in October. The Expectations Index rose to 85.1 from 84.0 last month.
1622
1623The monthly Consumer Confidence Survey, is conducted for The Conference Board by Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and analytics.  The survey is conducted around what consumers buy and watch.
1624
1625Lynn Franco, the Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board: &#8220;The Consumer Confidence Index increased in November and is now at its highest level in more than four and a half years (76.4 Feb. 2008). This month&#8217;s moderate improvement was the result of an uptick in expectations.  Over the past few months, consumers have grown increasingly more upbeat about the current and expected state of the job market, and this turnaround in sentiment is helping to boost confidence.&#8221;

1675Texas factory activity was little changed in November but the outlook slipped. The production index, a key measure of state manufacturing conditions, came in at 1.7, indicating output barely increased from October. Other survey measures suggested flat manufacturing activity in November. The new orders index came in at 0.4, suggesting that demand was unchanged from October.
1676
1677Perceptions of broader business conditions worsened in November. The general business activity index fell to minus 2.8 from plus 1.8 in October, returning to negative territory. The company outlook index moved down to minus 4.8 in November from plus 2.4 in October, registering its first negative reading since April.
1678
1679Labor market indicators were mixed. The employment index edged up to 6.7 in November, with more than 20 percent of firms reporting hiring compared with 15 percent reporting layoffs. The hours worked index dipped from minus 5.9 to minus 7.1.
1680
1681Indexes reflecting future business conditions fell sharply in November. The index of future general business activity plunged from 16.8 to minus 5.3, its lowest reading in four months. The index of future company outlook dropped from 20.9 to 1.8. Indexes for future manufacturing activity also fell this month but remained positive.

1731I happened across this article today and wish I could claim that I wrote it.  Here is the opening...<br />
1732<br />
1733<blockquote>Sen. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida delivered his party's weekly address on Saturday morning, and made a provocative claim about President Obama.<br />
1734<br />
1735"The bottom line is this president inherited a country with serious problems," Rubio said. "He asked the Congress to give him the stimulus and Obamacare to fix it. The Democrats in Congress gave it to him. And not only did it not work, it made everything worse."<br />
1736</blockquote><br />
1737What a joke!<br />
1738<br />
1739So have a look at the full article <a href="http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/30/10270015-what-rubio-doesnt-understand-about-the-economy">here</a> and see the Rubio claim debunked soundly.<br />
1740<br />
1741Not only has the U.S. economy grown for the last 10 quarters, but the workforce has ADDED jobs for the last 22 months straight.<br />
1742<br />
1743Can we do better?  Sure.  Did Obama policies make things worse?  <br />
1744<br />
1745I don't think so!
