Congratulations to the Wall Street Journal, it was only two months behind CEPR in catching the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' establishment survey is likely overstating job growth, especially in construction. So, there you have it. You can either read about the economy in CEPR's data bytes, or you can read about it two month's later in the WSJ. I guess that's why employers are anxious to get Congress to approve the guest worker program. It's so hard to find good help these days.
