Like to know where those new jobs were created because it certainly wasn't where I live. As a matter of fact, K-Mart is closing and there will be 150 people out of work here next month.

I like how they fail to mention that the unemployment rate only counts those who receive benefits. If you have not gotten a job and exhausted your benefits then you are no longer considered unemployed even if you have no job. I think the rate going down has more to do with that then people actually finding work.
