Okay, so 300,000 new jobs in the past three months. But how many people lost their jobs in that same time frame? This number has apparently been buried. I haven't read a single article on the story that took the cumulative numbers into account. I suspect this number is not insignificant.
Add to that the fact that the new jobs are low-paying and temporary and part-time (sounds mostly to be holiday season work to me) and I don't understand the widespread good cheer I've seen in the press.
