ORIGINAL: Sanity WRONG WAY: UNEMPLOYMENT CLIMBS TO 9.6% HEY SANITY, ARE YOU TRYING TO HELP THE VISION IMPAIRED? Now that you've done your good deed for the day, you might want to read this: Romer: unemployment data shows recovery continues White House Council of Economic Advisor chair Christina Romer on Friday said the Labor Department's report on the unemployed was better than expected as private-sector jobs increased by 67,000 in August. "Against the backdrop of some unsettling economic data in the past few weeks, today's numbers are reassuring that growth and recovery are continuing," she stated in prepared remarks. The Labor Department on Friday announced that the unemployment rate inched up to 9.6 percent in August, up from 9.5 percent in July. The main contributor to the rate change was the government shedding 114,000 jobs as Census workers completed their work. Private-sector jobs continued to trend upward, adding 67,000 jobs last month.
