@keithellison there a chance to restore food and fuel assistance dollars in negotiation with + econ growth. Kids are still hungry and cold
@keithellison Good news!
@keithellison Every new job created leads to more purchases. Good to hear.
@keithellison Too bad I got laid off from a 1099 job in November. My UI is almost up.
@keithellison Aaaaand? Oh yes..... Half a million plus dropped out of the workforce.
@HghPeterson @keithellison No, actually the number of people dropping out of the labor force went down.
@keithellison And Jobs Numbers would be even better if Sandy hadn't hit the East Coast! Still AWESOME NEWS!
@nickicomelately @keithellison the number of people dropping out of the labor force was higher than the number of seasonal jobs created!
@HghPeterson @keithellison Those people are already unemployed, so that's a moot comparison
@nickicomelately @keithellison The reason the unemployment rate is going down is b/c people are dropping out of the labor force. #fact
