But that doesn't mean it isn't good. %'s really make no difference (most of those jobs will never return) we've dropped this year either way and increased jobs... not bad at all.
edit: went and looked, it is 9.6 - either way, point was it has dropped and net jobs have gone up. It's not huge, but anyone expecting it to be at this point, when some jobs are gone forever, would be crazy.

yes, there was gains, but we are still losing jobs

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
