I'm getting tired of my own negativity about the economy, and happy to be wrong about everything, but this awesome jobs number is just above the treading water level of job creation, and not really enough to actually start bringing unemployment down. During the Clinton years, average monthly job growth was 236,000.
So this monthly report is good in that it isn't bad, and optimists will point to the positive trend and say it's a sign things are going to continue to get better. I hope they're right!
