Monthly Jobs Report Shows Promise; Unemployment Rate Dips to 7.5 Percent

Are you the type of person who looks at a glass and thinks it’s half full or half empty?

We’re the half full types and thus, today’s job report is actually a good thing. The economy added 165,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.5 percent nationally.

Here’s the kicker: According to a piece on ABC News, economists apparently thought the report was going to show adding 153,000 jobs last month with a stagnant unemployment rate.

As such, today’s report was better than expected! We’re not the only optimistic ones.
