Welcome to Boomtown, USA

Huge jobs report today:

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - U.S. job growth continued at a rapid pace in April. The economy created 288,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 5.6 percent, the Labor Department estimated Friday. Economists surveyed by CBS MarketWatch expected 172,000 new jobs and a jobless rate of 5.7 percent. March's payroll gains were revised higher from 308,000 to 337,000.

Meanwhile, at Kerry headquarters, Bob Shrum mutters a near-silent "Damn."

Update: It looks like the liberals at Air America are trying to boost unemployment numbers all on their own….heh-heh.
