Forum Post: When tepid is touted

...you are in really really bad shape.

188,000 - Do you know what that number is?

That number is being touted as a good sign, when in fact it is just a little more than half what it should be for this time of year. So what happens when the time of year arrives that such a number would most commonly be associated with? You guessed it, a number that is just over half what is should be for that time of year.

I'll be generous and call it 80,000

So where does that put us? You guessed it... in negative job growth! Stay tuned for more hilarious episode of Striving For Mediocrity.
