4. Let’s cut to the chase: There were 1,446,000 fewer people working full time in August 2014 than in August 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics household survey (CPS).
5. Back when Quebec was weighing secession from Canada, I was a lowly American undergrad living in Montreal. It was an exciting time, since in America we have our railroads torn up and population starved when we secede.

6. WASHINGTON — The battle between oil producers and refiners over exporting U.S. crude is heating up.

9. Last Friday CNBC inadvertently indicted it own pandering when the winner of its “pick the number” contest hit 142,000 jobs right on the head, making a mockery of the 200-250k consensus range that had issued from the “experts”. The winning viewer’s name was Ronnie Squires, who described himself as “retired” and the owner of a (very) small business through which he occasionally transports unwanted cats and dogs in his pick-up to new out-of-state “homes” for friends. Along the way, he does his own jobs survey:
