Even good news isnt good

Yesterday I posted a blog talking about how the month of March was the best month for job growth in 3 years. As with everything someone will find a way to criticize it and criticize it they have. Fox news was quick to point out that there 44,000 census jobs in the month of March and then of course that led to a lot of rants about how the Obama administration is only creating government jobs. Of course in the total bureau of labor statistics reports it shows that the government actually only hired 39,000 people. Watch below as fox news makes a report that shows 123,000 new private sector jobs sound like a bad thing.

Mike Huckabee says that Obama is stopping the private sector from growing


Charles Gasparino claims that the government accounted for over 80,000 of the 162,000 jobs created in March


Oh and before anyone talks to me about temporary jobs just remember that we as a country have always had seasonal jobs and even if the job is seasonal it still work. I know a ton of people that will take a temporary or seasonal job over not working and collecting nothing while falling behind on bills.

The telling point is that while many of the jobs created are temporary those lost were considered permanent. It's an important distinction to be made.
