. how will the market close out the week after three straight days of come from behind rallies. tyler? martin, today i would say that stocks are a little bit wobbly. how the major market barometers are doing right now. how it is for most of the day, the only index that is higher at 11,178. they just flipped into positive territory and only by negative and the nasdaq is back by 8.75. 103,000 jobs were added, but unfortunate 3 did not move the needle not a bit. unemployment in america at a distressingly high 9.1%. that s it from cnbc, first in business worldwide. back to you. thanks, tyler. that has been quite the week for herman cain. he tied mitt romney and published a book which he anticipates becoming president in 2012 and made several
through, even within the administration they tried to stop this and it worked in the end, they were able to cut off the final amount of money that the department of energy wanted to put through but in the beginning it was pushed and push hard. simply because they believed in it. not for empirical reason or evidence it would succeed. they had some information it wasn t going to succeed, which is probably the biggest problem. also what has come out now in the e-mails, you see back and forth where energy, secretary chu is trying to get more money for them. at least the white house pushed back on that and said no. but why was secretary chu trying to give them more none? bret: yeah. we re going to continue to dig. really quick down the row here, 9.1% unemployment remains. the september jobs numbers, 103,000 jobs added in september. 14 million roughly americans are unemployed. the underemployment went up, 16.5%. overall, take on this report today? it s better than people expect which h
a lost this is political theater and an election season. i wish i weren t sowning cynical about the realities, but given the challenges this economy faces and the perspective government response, it s very difficult to get up and cheer any of these proposals as they stand. hopefully something will make its way through. bigger than 103,000 is what you are saying. that s not on the current horizon. joining us today and talking about the jobs report that came out today. i did not do this. the mother of a missing 10-month-old baby defends herself after she and her husband are not cooperating with the investigation. what may be the first of its kind request. lawmakers are asking president obama to turn over some of his e-mails. we will tell you why. prince harry touches down in the united states. details on what he will be doing on the west coast for the next two months.
major. chris, thank you. and that new september jobs report is somewhat good but not good enough. despite the addition of 103,000 jobs, the unemployment rate remains stuck at 9.1% as we ve been saying. 14 million people remain unemployed. the secretary of labor joins us now. madam secretary, thank you very much. good afternoon. so positive numbers compared to expectations. but still you would be the first to admit as would the president, i think, not enough to keep up with population growth. and we ve still got a major problem of unemployment in this country. and protests growing around the country. you know, andrea, i also want to make a little note here that in the last two months there was a readjustment. we actually saw more jobs added in those two months, 99,000 jobs were added. so those corrections should be noted. and while 103,000 jobs may not be as many as we need, we are still adding jobs. and since the recovery we have been adding 2.6 million private sector jobs. w
today the jobs report showing 103,000 jobs were added, it wasn t the shot in the arm of the economy the president need. more with chris hayes, host with up with chris hayes, chris, nice to see you today. unemployment is still stuck at 9.1%, but we get this better than expected jobs report. the needle is not moving, republicans are looking like obstructionists to the president putting out his narrative of let s get america back to work. how s it working out for him? what i think is interesting about the jobs report and the current political situation is that we are in this bizarre limbo, which seems to sort of extend out indefinitely, in which there s a little jobs growth, but not enough to bring down the unemployment, but we re also not in a free fall catastrophic situation, not in a losing 800,000 jobs a month, and the politics of this sort of strange, frustrating limbo is a
