    well that's surprisingly good news. Politics aside we have had an 8% barrier for far too long, and this could boost people's general moral.


    It just means some people were dropped from the unemployment rolls....not that they found jobs. You can only stay on unemployment for a specific number of weeks.


    this is what i was thinking

    Actually labor force participation went up last month.

    sun is correct, if you want your foil hats chalk the change to the billion dollar political campaigns or shoot for the part time employment argument.

    I think these stats are more realistic as once people run out of unemployement insurance, they are no longer claimed as unemployed and there are still many people that haven't found work.

    Quiet you! These numbers are amazing! Obama is the savior!
