Other articles which question April's job numbers besides the NY Post one

[Eric J in MN]

You might have seen this NY Post article saying that the good job-numbers for April are bogus.
----------------------
http://www.nypost.com/business/23936.htm
"Back in the March employment report, the government added 153,000 positions to its revised total of 337,000 new jobs because it thought (but couldn't prove) loads of new companies were being created in this economy.

That estimate comes from the Labor Department's "birth/death model." You can look up these numbers on the Department's Web site.

As staggering as the assumption about new companies was in March, the Labor Department got even more brazen in April."

Anyway, are there any other articles questioning April's job numbers?

1. I have been wondering the same thing.

I would think something like this would be big news.

6. The March numbers were widely questioned.

The March numbers were widely questioned.

I posted an example here:

So I wonder if there are other articles questioning the April numbers. If not, why not?

2. Wow! Is Murdoch jumping ship?

"And President Bush will probably give in to temptation and start crowing about the economy, going against the mood, as captured by pollsters.

This will make him look as out of touch with reality as his father did. "

7. Even if those numbers were golden

we need to generate 100-150K per month to keep up with population growth. So, even if we continue this (Stellar! Good Times ahead!) pace, it'll be a year-and-a-half before Dubya's economy climbs out of the 3-million-vanished-jobs hole.
