517K New Jobs added. Unemployment at 50 year low. Economy is humming along.

“For the past two years, we’ve heard a chorus of critics write off my economic plan,” the president said in remarks before leaving the White House for a trip to Philadelphia. “They said it’s just not possible to grow the economy from the bottom up and the middle out,” he said. “Today’s data makes crystal clear what I’ve always known in my gut: These critics and cynics are wrong.”

Never believe the unemployment figures. They are always fudged.
Here in Australia, someone who works only one hour a week is deemed to be fully employed.
So they are not included in the figures.
It is a travesty to say the unemployment figure here in Australia is 3.5%.
More like 10 - 15% if those dastardly politicians were honest. But no such thing as an honest politician.
