Administration Blames Job Losses on Snow; Critics Say Economic Uncertainty Stalls Job Creation

Christina Romer, who heads President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, has blamed bad weather on continued job losses in February, even if the 36,000 jobs lost were far less than the 100,000 figure some economists predicted as a result of record snow storms in some parts of the country. Obama administration officials are touting the less than 100,000 jobs that some economists predicted could have been lost last month because of record snow storms, but critics charge that the 36,000 people who became unemployed in February is no cause for celebration.

Fitz's comment....
Why is Christina Romer always smiling. Will someone tell her that 4 million jobs were lost on her boss's watch.
