U.S. payrolls jumped last month and the jobless rate fell, boosting the odds of moderate, consumer-driven economic growth and lowering the chances of any near-term reduction in official interest rates.Will this nightmare never end?
Outside of manufacturing, payroll gains were broadly based, with construction and services posting healthy increases. Previous months' employment increases, meanwhile, were revised up.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 180,000 in March, up from a revised 113,000 in February and 162,000 in January, the Labor Department said Friday. Those months were previously reported as increases of 97,000 and 146,000, respectively.
The unemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage point to 4.4% last month, matching its lowest level since May 2001. Average hourly earnings increased six cents, or 0.3%, to $17.22. That was up 4% from a year earlier, suggesting wages remain an inflation risk.
March's payroll gain exceeded Wall Street expectations of a 142,000 rise. Economists had expected a 4.6% unemployment rate and 0.3% rise in wages.

Idiots.
I'm glad that Maximum Leader and Co. have common sense.
You forgot the simultaneous invasions of Canada and Mexico and the importation of poor Mexicans forced into labor camps to make gunny sacks out of human hair for the war effort.
Sorry...I couldn't resist a little silliness. I couldn't care less about political disagreements with the administration or whatever other complaints people may have, but I wonder if those claiming any similarity between Bush and Hitler really have any idea of what happened in Nazi Germany? And how quickly they would have been permanently silenced if half of what they said were true?
