JOB RECOVERY CONTINUES - MAY 2017

CNBC gives a report on the bureau of Labor Statics showing the jobs picture continues to improve.  CNBC prefers the U-6 values (unemployed, underemployed and discouraged), but it is seen that even that broad value continues to decline and is now about what it was before the Great Recession.

The CNBC report also shows that the monthly increase in employment continues.
