Default New Jobs Report

The Labor Dept. released the monthly jobs report today, showing unemployment at 7.9%, only one tenth of one percent higher than last month. Now what does this mean for President Obama? Well, it shows that job growth is at a virtual standstill, though the 7.9% figure is much better than the 8.2% that held for 42 months. I don't think this new jobs report will help, or hurt the president. Now had the figure been back above 8% again, that may have been the last nail in the coffin for President Obama, but the unemployment figure is now back to where it was 4 years ago. Now, this is good news for Governor Romney, because he can continue his campaigning of "are you better off now that you were 4 years ago?", and I'm sure a lot of Americans are unhappy with the new numbers that equate to about 12.3 million unemployed. But now lets talk about what the jobs report doesn't tell us. Part time labor is NOT included in the jobs report. The jobs report only includes people that are looking for work as unemployed. So it's not like 12.3 million Americans aren't working at all, though some sources will try to convince you otherwise. Conversely, the jobs report also does not include people who have just given up trying to find work. So now that I have opined and presented some facts about the jobs numbers, how do you, the people, think these new numbers will affect the election, now only 4 days away, if at all?
