I always laugh at the way employment figures get spun. Basically a temp worker can work 1 day a month and they're counted as employed. It's an amazingly inaccurate way of counting employment.

In February, temporary help services added 48,000 jobs. Since reaching a low
point in September 2009, temporary help services employment has risen by
284,000. Health care employment continued to trend upward in February.
In February, employment in the federal government edged up. The hiring of
15,000 temporary workers for Census 2010 was partially offset by a decline
in U.S. Postal Service employment.
And then there's Wall Street that never misses a chance for a party based on twisted logic.
