Employment is still trending up, manufacturing output is up, overtime is up etc... I know my sector is starting to hire again, thawing frozen salaries and reinstating incentive plans.
I'm not expecting the economy to go nuts, but we've had two consecutive quarters of positive GDP in a row and some good other indicators.

Yet still we see job losses month to month... Scott had it right...the stimulas bill added not one job.
The current 9.7% unemployment is more due to a new way of calculating the umemployed rate then people going back to work. Sorry to burst your bubble but things are going to get worse. |

Economists expected job losses to continue well into 2010. Many also believe that the stimulus has certainly helped to curb this decline...by creating jobs.
Even the CBO says the stimulus has created jobs.

Patrick says 4000 jobs were made or saved in Mass. by the stimulas. Just so happens 2700 were jobs in the public sector and they were jobs of people he hired that held signs for him |

Saved jobs maybe, teachers, firefighters, policemen, DPW workers. Not a bad thing but not added jobs.
Added jobs? 64000 government workers on permanent taxpayer payroll. Big friggin misuse of money we had to borrow. Maybe you think thats a good thing but it pisses me off. |

Saved and added is the same thing if you can stop a job that's being cut from being cut.
Ultimately it's about the net.
And like I said, it's not just about government jobs...the private sector is starting to move, including manufacturing employment.
Again, I don't think 2010 is going to be easy, but we're definitely off the bottom.

if you are correct(Economists expected job losses to continue well into 2010) this should say " expected" job losses |
