Tom,

>>...It is interesting to note that the returning strikers (who were out for about 5 months and received nothing for their efforts) comprise the largest single segment of “new jobs” created in March.

Just curious... how many of the 300,000+ new jobs do you explain away as returning strikers? How many new jobs does that leave? Is that good or bad news? Seems to me like you're straining pretty hard to find something bad in the good news. :-)
