At 8:31am Eastern Time tomorrow morning, the GOP spinning will be ferocious

[scheming daemons]

Prediction:


The jobs report will show +600,000 jobs in May.

It will show that +400,000 of those were census hires.


But .... even taking those out of the equation, the +200,000 private-sector jobs will be the best month in several years.


The jobless rate will move down slightly to 9.7%.


The GOP won't have any good arguments to make.... but that won't stop them from trying like hell.

1. Hey, if they can blame the derivative markets and banking meltdown on poor ....

.... minorities and the BP disaster on environmentalists, this should be a cake-walk.

Many DUers will be downplaying the numbers too.

Hiring weak in May except for Census workers
By Rex Nutting

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. nonfarm payrolls expanded by a seasonally adjusted 431,000 in May, but virtually all the new jobs were temporary jobs at the U.S. Census, leaving private-sector hiring very weak in May, the Labor Department reported Friday. Excluding 411,000 temporary Census workers, payrolls rose by 20,000 in May. According to the survey of 400,000 business establishments, private-sector payrolls increased by 41,000, the fifth straight gain. The unemployment rate fell to a seasonally adjusted 9.7% in May from 9.9% in April, according to a separate survey of 60,000 households. The decline wasn't particularly good news, however, because the drop was due to 322,000 people dropping out of the labor force.

16. Wow. Only about 41,000 private sector jobs:

18. Yeah not good.

And number of Americans employed fell for first time in 6 months. :(

No way to hide/spin that numbers.

In May there are less Americans working than in April. Period.
