Once again, in its sheer panic to tout the quantity, or lack thereof, in the case of the December jobs number, the frenzied media and pundits completely ignored the quality of the jobs gained in the last month of December. Or lack thereof. Because as the simple breakdown below shows, of the 74K jobs gained in December, 55%, or 40K were the worst of the lot when it comes to wages or benefits: temporary jobs.

You're darn tootin'. Here's the best part:

Table B-1,
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t17.htm
The non seasonally adjusted figures show a loss of 246,000 jobs.

Through the magic of the birth and death model and seasonal adjustment that become +74,000.

And when these temporaries file to go back on unemployment the Obama Praetorian Guard known as the press will refer to it as only a "seasonal adjustment".
