CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: Let me turn to you George and ask you about the unemployment numbers. Is that something of a trend or is that scratching the surface? What difference is that going to make?

The private sector created 104,000 jobs. The public sector happily shrank by 24,000 jobs. Both of that's good.

24,000 people lost their jobs. Happily.
