Job openings are almost at a 13-year high
Who's hiring? Almost everyone
Hiring was more widespread in November than any time since early 1998. By comparison: this time five years ago, 86% of U.S. companies were cutting jobs.
"It's about time," said Dan North, chief economist with credit insurance firm Euler Hermes. "This is what we've been missing."
Consumers are spending again in a year of strong economic growth, driven by low energy prices and pent-up demand for cars and homes.
Job openings are almost at a 13-year high as companies try to meet the latest wave of demand.
good stuff ...in conjunction with oil setting record lows it really feels like we are headed toward a booming economy, I'm sure posters will let me know we aren't though lol.

Jobs numbers for November were a lot higher than expected with 321,000 new jobs added and the previous two months were revised up a little bit.
Average hourly wages rose 0.4 percent, and the average length of the workweek for private-sector workers ticked up to 34.6 hours, from 34.5. Add it all up, and an index of weekly payrolls rose a whopping 0.9 percent in November, which is the kind of monthly swing that rarely happens.
The hiring seems to be spread broadly through the economy too, with hiring generally up across all sectors.
Dow Jones will go over 18,000 today. With cheaper oil prices, I expect Christmas spending will be up and I expect the Dow to say high for a bit. The US is clearly doing bettter than Europe and Japan.

Re: Job openings are almost at a 13-year high
Eh this all a disillusion when the debt is close to 18 trillion dollars.
Not to mention the wealth disparity is much worst and many of these jobs are low paying part time jobs.

Is disillusion a word you just coined? It's not bad.
The recent few years of job growth HAS been mostly full time employment
This was a very, very good report.
Wages were up
Hours were up
Overall Payroll was up
Previous months were revised upwards.
We still need more of a lot these months, We still need to recover more, but this is going to best year for new employment since 1999.
Trends are pointing up broadly across the economy.

Secondly you can be impressed by all the graphs you want but:
"While a chunk of the job gains were temporary or part time the gains were broad based enough and large enough to support career creation too. In a growing economy temporary jobs also have more potential to turn into full time opportunities which could be a good sign for future improvements to the employment picture."

Regardless this is all a facade when the government is in debt over 17 trillion. This simply can not be sustained in the long term and until this issue is fixed this is all one big mental circle jerk between you and Primetime over these figures.

Um, since a chunk is not all or even most, that quote doesn't contradict what I said and the info at that link supports the idea that this was a very, very good jobs report.
[QUOTE]Friday morning The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the strongest payroll additions in years. Employers added 321,000 jobs in November, a number far greater than the 230,000 economists were predicting. .....

It doesn't look like that is what's going on here...energy prices much lower causing more spending on everything in general causing hiring everywhere.
Home and car sales way up...

You realize every country has debt, the U.S. will always have debt, and it's really not a big deal, right? It's just about maintaining appropriate debt levels as compared to the GNP.
Of course, the GOP are the worst spenders and usually destroy the deficit/debt as compared to Democrats...but Democrats typically get spending back on track.
