TRIO: Unemployment falls to 8.3%, economy adds 243k net jobs, home sales up

Granted, the recovery is slow, but if this kind of good news keeps hitting up until November, Obama will crush whoever the opponent is.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/04/business/economy/us-economy-added-243000-jobs-in-january-unemployment-rate-is-8-3.html?hp
The United States economy gained momentum in January, adding 243,000 jobs, the second straight month of better-than-expected gains.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent, giving a cause for optimism as the economy shapes up as the central issue in the presidential election. The Labor Department’s monthly snapshot of the jobs market uses a different survey, of households rather than employers, to calculate the unemployment rate.
Measured by both the unemployment rate and the number of jobless — which fell to 12,758,000 — it was the strongest signal yet that an economic recovery was spreading to the jobs market. The last time the figures were as good was February 2009, President Obama’s first full month in office.
The report sent stocks up by over 1% in early trading on Wall Street.
The department also revised its estimate for new jobs in December slightly, to 203,000. It had reported a net gain of 200,000 jobs in December.
The private sector remained the engine of new job gains. While federal agencies and local governments continued to lay off workers, private-sector employers added 257,000 jobs in January. The industries with the biggest gains were manufacturing, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.
The promising jobs numbers came as various economic indicators have painted an ambiguous picture of the recovery’s strength.

None of this matters until GOLD reaches $2500 an ounce and the DOW falls to $500, because something happened somewhere in the past.

Is that 8.3% including the people who have run out of UI and have stopped looking for a job ?
If not, that 8.3% becomes about 10%

What happened to all the 40 yard liners? Used to, most Americans were a little bit left, or right of center. Now the old moderates are today's conservatives, and the old GOP is now the Tea Party. The whole nation is shifting to the right. I mean, are we really having congressional debates over birth control and family planning? Seriously? Birth control? This isn't 1958.

the yahoo article talks about the % of people that are "under employed" which is their term for stopped looking for work or are only working part-time and want to work more and that is at 15.1% (down from 15.2%)

I'm not saying that the democrats did anything to improve the job scenario. I'm not a partisan hack. Both sides are screwing the US over and they can only see that spending is the only way out of this mess (which is a mess that was ironically started by over spending).
I have yet to see any bill passed that actually would assist in creating local job growth. Spending extra money is a temporary solution.. once the money is gone so are the jobs. Bills need to be made to stop the hemorrhaging of jobs overseas and make this country more competitive. If that's increasing import taxes from other countries, or harsher penalties on countries that flood their money to tax safe heavens so be it. But more importantly, we need to take a better look at why the money is going to these area's instead of remaining internally and then see if our other policies are causing this to happen and rectify that.

Going into end-game negotiations this weekend on the $900-plus billion bill, Republicans expect to lose on most of the policy provisions, or "riders," they added to House versions of the must-do spending measures
reading for comprehension says that they were looking to tack on a lot of partisan spending and were expected to lose most of it.

Don't let the loudmouths make you think the entire country is shifting to the right. It simply isn't true. There is just a lot more people that were 50/50 that are now picking a side slightly left or slightly right.
