Unemployment falls; wages up 4 percent
By Patrice Hill
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
October 7, 2006
The nation's unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent last month, down from 4.7 in August, and average wages rose by 4 percent over the previous year -- the best performance for both measures in five years.
The monthly Labor Department report released yesterday revealed that 51,000 new jobs were reported last month, a disappointing figure, but job gains were stronger than reported earlier for the previous year and a half.
"The economy is actually stronger than these employment numbers suggest," said Bernard Baumohl, executive director of the Economic Outlook Group, a Princeton, N.J., economic-advisory firm. The figures were mixed and elicited widely varying reactions from financial markets and analysts. Unemployment falls; wages up 4 percent*-*Business*-*The Washington Times, America's Newspaper |

I think it would be pretty pathetic to vote for a party that only points to bad things as a reason to vote for them. Fewer American soldiers have died in 5 years in this war than any 5 years in any other war and they are all volunteers. Yet, they harp and harp. Why? Because there is nothing else to harp about. | |

It's The Debt-UWSA National Debt Clock National Priorities Project - Cost of War "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state." ~ Dr. Joseph M.

On the other hand, I do have several John Deere mowers - and they're GREEN. Does that count? | |

Minimum wage doesn't cut it in the real world.
