The unemployment rate went from 5.4% to 5.5%, but that is seen as an indication that more people are entering the job market.

Nonfarm payrolls rose a seasonally adjusted 280,000 in May, the Labor Department said Friday, led by gains in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and health care…

The unemployment rate, which is obtained from a separate survey of U.S. households, was 5.5% in May, up slightly from 5.4% the prior month…

Wages, meanwhile, rose at a healthy pace. Average hourly earnings of private-sector workers rose by 8 cents, or 0.3%, to $24.96 in May. Economists had expected a 0.2% increase in wages from April.

    Boy oh boy. It’s going to cost the fair and balanced people a fortune in underwire bras to distract their audience from this news eh?

      Roger to Megyn: Is there some way we can blame the floods in Texas on Obama?

        yes!
        Satan (who rules hell) and Obama’s BFF cause he’s a commie Democrat (note the red suit – just don’t mistake him for the RepubliCON in the red suit that flies around the world once a year in a drunken stupor stealing candy and toys left under trees people bring inside their house in a sleigh powered by flying reindeer with no wings).
        This is what happens when folks think about voting for a Democrat!
        Gay marriage is gonna cause the world to be flooded again!
        Obama supports RAIN!
        Obama left the water running!
        this would never happen if Obama hadn’t talked to Allah!

        then again: maybe Rick Perry forgot to end his ‘prayers’ in Jesus name…
        don’t ferget to say Amen, Rick!

      hey speak for yourself William. When I used to read Playboy, it was for the articles.

      That Jimmy Carter interview on the page right after the photos of the blonde with the biggest , um I mean on page 54 was a milestone in political journalism.
