Let me toss a number at you and ask you to ponder its significance for a brief moment.<\/p>\n

339,000.<\/em><\/p>\n

That is the number of jobs the U.S. Department of Labor said today were created this past month. The nation’s jobless rate ticked up a bit to 3.7%, but no one is speaking out loud about any concern there.<\/p>\n

It’s the first number that is stunning. It continues to demonstrate — at least to me — that the fearmongers need to be called out when they suggest the nation’s economy is tanking.<\/p>\n

It isn’t. Not by a long shot!<\/p>\n

Economists predicted — to the extent they can predict anything — a job growth of about half of what was released. Even that wouldn’t have been too bad.<\/p>\n

But a 339,000 job growth figure simply is staggering.<\/p>\n

Uhh, Mr. President? Keep up the good work.<\/p>\n
