And yet the actual number of people with jobs didn't budge. What's that tell you, CTB?

About half of the jobs were government jobs--a burden to the taxpayer. I doubt if the Feds will cease "quantitative easing." If the Feds stop printing money, the stock market might collapse. The Democrats just cannot manage an economy. There are still millions of people unemployed, with no hope in sight.

Oh, dear Lord. <slaps head>
We just had this conversation last month, and Crabby actually correctly identified why the numbers were better last month.
Now we have an admission that government workers resuming jobs that they actually didn't lose counts for the majority of the lower unemployment numbers; while also identifying that employment numbers are up in those areas that are typical for this time of the year (holiday season).
And the author tries to make a correlation with an upward economy without identifying how many of those jobs are permanent or temporary.
I personally won't acknowledge an upward tick in employment until February. -

The stock market knows these are real job additions. That's why the markets went up over 1%; 1.26% for the DJIA in spite of the news that this will surely cause the Fed to start tapering off the bond purchases. -

And any current decline in government jobs does not take away from the fact that almost half of last months jobs were in government.

I also noted they do not cite a source for their statistics which leads me to feel they simply make them up to suit their own political bias. They simply cherry pick what they want to pass on and ignore anything that does not agree with their bias.
As I said, I will take the BLS statistics over a biased web site that cherry picks.

Or do you fail to understand that losing jobs over an entire year was somewhat offset, but not completely, but increased government hiring last month, to the extent that, yes -- nearly half the jobs created were government jobs?
Let me give you a basic illustration so you can wrap your heads around this. I've got a bowl with a thousand chocolates sitting on my table. Every day for a eleven months, starting January 1, I take out two chocolates. That's 668 chocolates. In the last month, I put four chocolates back every day. That's 124 chocolates. For the year, there is a net decline in chocolates, but for the last month, there is a net increase compared to the month before. Got it? That's what happened with jobs in November.
