BETTER EMPLOYMENT PICTURE??  Look especially over here at the "Hidden" Unemployment:


           

And then nonfarm payroll, up in the last 12 months less than .5% - not many new jobs.  Also lots of part-time workers (19% increase over last year) and more discouraged workers, one month change is 4.1%!

Notice also that the one-year change in the employed as a share of the population actually fell!
