Can't Spin Numbers This Bad

September 3, 2010

Former Clinton Secretary of Labor and current Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley Robert B. Reich debunking the Democrats “optimism” for the economy:

“67,000 in August may be better than expected, but it’s still awful. 125,000 are needed just for the growth in potential workforce. And the trend is moving in the wrong direction. Revised figure shows private sector created 107,000 jobs in July. In other words, things are getting worse, not better.”
