Before the repugs start blowing each other...
308,000 minimum wage jobs were 'created' - but among those returning to work were the 72-thousand-plus Californians returning from a strike. Those jobs were already there: it's like they're being counted twice. Sort of like counting votes in Florida.

Fun fact: (a) Gateway has pulled the plug on stores, 2,500 jobs lost.
(b) The unemployment rate rose to 5.7 from 5.6 percent.
