An Employment Miracle

This is just for my Democrat buddy (from Instapundit):

AN EMPLOYMENT MIRACLE: Economy Sheds 20,000 Jobs But Unemployment Rate Drops to 9.7 Percent.

Okay, not so much of a miracle: “A sharp increase in the number of people giving up looking for work helped to depress the jobless rate. The number of ‘discouraged job seekers’ rose to 1.1 million in January from 734,000 a year ago.”

No wonder all the accounts say the unemployment number dropped "unexpectedly".
