"The department said the end to the California grocery store dispute,
which
had idled 72,000 workers, boosted March payrolls by 10,000 to 20,000. The
impact was muted because many of the returning employees displaced
temporary
hires."

Harry won't reply to that post Joe. It screws up his "spin".


Allow me to cut 'n paste a thread from a golf forum (yes, golfers can get off
topic on a variety of topics too).... Read what they say on this matter:

Reuters is reporting that the great American job-creating machine is revving
into high gear:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employment rose last month at the fastest pace in
nearly four years, easily outstripping expectations, as workers returned after
a grocery store strike and construction hiring bounced back on better weather,
a government report on Friday showed.

The latest report from the Labor Department offered comfort to President Bush
as the jobs market---a hot political issue in the U.S. presidential
campaign--finally made a decisive break to the upside.

Non-farm payrolls climbed 308,000 in March, the Labor Department said, the
biggest gain since April 2000 and well above the 103,000 rise expected on Wall
Street.

This is great news for the United States.

=================================

Yes, as I said on the other, related thread, now that the lagging indicator
(jobs) of the reviving economy is beginning to show itself, this can only mean
unmitigated disaster for John Kerry and his campaign. It shows that George W.
Bush's tax cuts are working, that he has taken the right steps to help the
economy recover.
I can only imagine how wonderful the economy will be with FOUR MORE YEARS of
George W. Bush's outstanding leadership! And I'm looking forward to finding
out, as we WILL find out. )

==================================

This is great news for patriotic Americans in general and for the golf industry
in particular!
