U.S. Job Growth Soars

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - U.S. payrolls grew at the fastest pace in nearly four years in March, the government said Friday, in a report that soared past Wall Street forecasts and could play a pivotal role in Fed policy and the presidential election.

Worry not for the jobs are coming as predicted and worked toward. and they will bounce back very well. Better than any artificial jobs program.

Economy grows. Jobs follow as stated by all Economists worth their weight. Not them democrat economists

The original article also indicates why unemployment went up, if anyone care's to actually read it.

These are the best numbers in 44 months why all the skepticism, do you guys think this not a good thing?

Is it really such a good thing to get so worked up? It's the best numbers in the past 44 months, that doesn't mean it's going to continue to go up. Couldn't it be too early to tell?

No it is not a good thing.

If the Economy booms on all economic indicators.

Democrat ideas like stimulating the economy by raising taxes look worse.

If the economy booms the deficit spending drops.

Ummm Basically their platform short of calling bush a liar is gone.

I do not think it is too early to say.

Productivity up, Sales up, profits up it is a forgone conclusion that the economy will need employees to stoke the furnace.

This is not even a question.

The only thing that you can question is will the economy continue the trend or will some outside force act on it again.

For that answer you will need a crystal ball.

Even the meanest nasty robber barron will have to hire more people when the demand for his product outstrips his ability to make his existing crew efficient.

I think it all depends on the type of jobs. If we are adding 300,000 menial labor jobs and losing 150,000 hightech jobs, I don't care what the numbers say, to me thats not a good thing.
