Hello, and welcome to TKNN Reports.
Yesterday, the unemployment report for August was released. Only 96,000 jobs were added, below analyst expectations of 120,000. The unemployment rate, however, fell from 8.3% to 8.1% because people dropped out of the job market. Mitt Romney called the report “disheartening.” While President Obama said the market needs to improve.
President Obama appears to have gotten a convention bounce, except not against Mitt Romney. President Obama’s approval rating is up to 52%, which is at heights not seen since the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Well, thank you for joining us on TKNN Reports. Please join us again next week.
