| The U.S. economy seemed to be headed for a spring slowdown this year. Then the April jobs report was released Friday morning, and now some economists are doing a double-take.
The economy added 165,000 jobs in April, according to the Labor Department. That was more than the 140,000 jobs economists expected, and it marked an improvement over March.

- Service jobs boom: The strongest job growth in April came from restaurants and bars, which added 38,000 jobs; temporary services, which added 31,000 jobs; and retailers, which added 29,000 jobs.
I wonder how many of these jobs are the result of Obamacare mandates. Are they cutting hours to under 30, and then hiring more 30 hour or less workers to take up the slack? | |

| Did they really add jobs, or just stop counting more unemployed people? | |

Both. And most of those jobs are part time under 30 hours. Yet the left claims this is good news just watch MSNBC for 10 minutes. | |
