First-time jobless claims drop for second week + Private sector adds 55,000 jobs in May

[mEDITate-OR:
not see that the ADP numbers are "telling" to U.S.

Unemployment is changing, and so is who is hiring.
While we see the Federal Govt stalling on two small business lending bills...
to take a vacation..., for campaigning
the real driver of jobs in the economy is wallowing..., small business is NOT hiring.

What MIGHT be true is that they cut back to so many part time employees, that they can simply expand hours, as needed, without adding new people.
The number of hours worked DO appear to be increasing, so that might explain some of this.

But, IF we need job creation, we NEED funding for small business.
We do not have it, and might not get it.
THAT would be VERY bad news.

Job hopes rise on wave of economic data
Reports don't ‘scream strength’ but they do ‘set encouraging tone’
A handful of economic reports released Thursday raised hopes for an improving job market with fewer layoffs and more hiring.
