Approximately 20,000 fewer people had a job last month when all the pluses and minuses were summed up.  Another 100,000 stopped looking for work, vanishing off the ranks of the “unemployed.”  There were (reportedly) some 840,000 unemployed who were “missed” over the course of the past few months never showing up in the jobs numbers preceding these.

And employment dropped 0.3 points in January?

I’m not excited about the math here.

Forget the rhetoric about the missing decade.  What just happend to 1 million more unemployed people?
