Summary-
   Hiring for countries in America has increased by much more than was expected around this time of year. Wages are also growing slightly more quickly than expected, and 216,000 jobs have been added to America's private sector. There is hope that this kind of growth will continue, but the future is still uncertain.

Connection-
    This connects to discussions from class about issues that will affect the upcoming election. The economy is a huge factor, and if Obama wishes to retain his presidency, he should hope for a steadying of the economy. Candidates who promise big things with improving jobs and other economic factors will stand a better chance of winning, because that is what people care about.

Personal Reaction-
    Obama will likely win the upcoming election due to an improving economy that has very little to do with him. People will likely be happier with a healing America, and not feel the need to make any changes in its leadership.
