he author Mark Gongloff  from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/08/february-jobs-report-jobs-unemployment-rate_n_2836174.html  has one main point, that we create as many jobs as we cut jobs. Mark Gongloff wants us to know the job unemployment has dropped 0.2 percent in the last four years. This is from the 236,000 jobs that were added in February for non-farming payroll incomes reported from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm,  job have gone up from 119,000 in January. However there are still 12 million people looking for jobs. Sadly, this statistic does not include college students who are about to graduate or high school students that will be looking for jobs and not attending college. I found out that according http://www.bls.gov/news.release/youth.nr0.htm  From April to July 2012, the number of employed youth 16 to 24 years old rose 2.1 million to 19.5 million, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Mark wants us to know that the government is trying to make it look like they are helping out the nation but really the job market is about the same, but they just added more jobs but didn’t include all age brackets. All though the author did point out that in “January job growth was revised down sharply, from 157,000 to 119,000 jobs. And the unemployment rate fell in large part because the labor force shrank by 130,000 workers. Labor-force participation has never recovered from the recession, suggesting either that large numbers of workers have retired early -- or have simply given up trying to find jobs.” I agree with mark that the economy is on a seesaw every time that we tipped the scale on added more jobs it’s because layoffs happened or people retired.  Mark is clearly speaking to speaking job seekers and the unemployed by using a republican approach. They believe that the answers do not lay with the government generally who keeps adding and cutting jobs, but rather with the people who should make a stand to have less government interference in the job market.
