Job Creation Strong, Economy Robust

From the Heritage Foundation, new numbers about job creation and good news about the economy:

Highlights from the Employment Report for July
5.0 percent unemployment rate
207,000 new payroll jobs
438,000 new total jobs
450,000 more people in the labor force
Over the last year, 2.2 million new payroll jobs have been created
Over the last year, 2.4 million new jobs have been created, in total


What? This hasn't received wide coverage in the mainstream press? Well, whaddya know? Read the article, there is a very interesting graph in there regarding strong employment trends.

Looks like those tax rate cuts worked again, like they always do.
