Government employment continued to trend down over the month (-17,000).
Despite the return of about 22,000 workers from a partial government shutdown
in Minnesota, employment in state government changed little in August (+5,000).
Employment in local government continued to decline. Since employment peaked
in September 2008, local government has lost 550,000 jobs.
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
elsewhere:
Employment in the information industry declined by 48,000 in August. About
45,000 workers in the telecommunications industry were on strike and thus off
company payrolls during the survey reference period.

Firms in Utah Preparing to Hire Mexicans
DENVER – Utah businessmen are preparing to hire potentially thousands of Mexican temporary workers.
Representatives of several chambers of commerce and business groups met last week in Utah with local public officials and representatives of the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon to learn about a new state law, HB466, and about the procedure for processing H2B visas.
The entry into force of HB466 would allow businessmen to hire up to 16,000 temporary workers from Nuevo Leon, the state with which the Utah government signed an agreement to establish a pilot program.
Although the federal government still must give its final approval to the initiative because the preestablished number of 66,000 H2B visas has already been exceeded for this year, businessmen from Salt Lake City, Provo and other cities attended seminars to learn how to process those visas.
Ben Wallace, assistant general manager of a Resorts West luxury rental establishment in Park City, told reporters that the seminars sparked a high level of interest because “we’re not finding enough people in our area” to work in jobs like cleaning and maintainence at hotels during the winter season.

This is the first time since 1945 the US has reported a net job gain of ZERO.
Does this mean we're about to enter a period of boom similar to those post-war days of milk and honey?
With all the new foreclosures coming soon and this shitwipe in office, I don;t think so.

I have no clue. Some pot smoking, beauty pageants and a couple of community colleges. The Republicans wanted me to be Vice President. The funny part is I've never even taken an economics course *laugh*

I didn't realize that was a chick at first - I thought it was a fat guy with man-boobs. If you look close you can see the straps though, so I guess you are right ;)

We just got some jobs added to September.
"A strike by about 45,000 Verizon Communications workers helped push employment in the information services down by 48,000. Allowing for the decline from the Verizon strike, private payrolls would have risen by 62,000."

Fuck unions. If Verizon workers are unsatisfied with their pay, they could... uhh... GET ANOTHER JOB.
