Since it would take 241,000 new jobs every month just to keep up with the increase of the population of the USA, it is not all that much of an accomplishment.

And many of those jobs require the employee to say, "Would you like that for here or to go?"

Yippee!

So you would prefer they lived on government handouts?

employers added a solid 214,000 jobs in October, extending the steadiest pace of job growth in nearly 20 years.

So some good news about the US economy but the negative sky is falling brigade still find it isn't good enough, some people will never be happy or pleased I guess.

Better they are adding 214,000 jobs than cutting them like back in 2008.

IF Uncle Sam made the regulatory and tax regimes less oppressive then more real jobs would be created that weren't part-time non-permanent dead-end.

The sky isn't falling, but the true picture is far from rosy, unless you're willfully blind.

The tax regime is hardly oppressive considering the many loopholes corporations have.
