WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers shrugged off last month’s partial shutdown of the government and engaged in a burst of hiring in January, adding 304,000 jobs, the most in nearly a year.
The healthy gain the government reported Friday illustrated the job market’s resilience nearly a decade into the economic expansion. The U.S. has now added jobs for 100 straight months, the longest such period on record.
The unemployment rate did rise in January to 4 percent from 3.9 percent, the Labor Department said, but mostly for a technical reason: The number of people counted as temporarily unemployed jumped 175,000, with most of that increase consisting of federal workers and contractors affected by the shutdown.


Just kidding  ;D

But that would mean that most of that rise was doing the Obama Presidency.  That couldn't be right!

It isn't.  Other than a slight pause between 2000 and 2002 and a large dip (being elected) in 2008, full time employment has been rising steadily since 1991.
