The report caps a tumult with us week on the World Markets fueled by worrys over chinas slowing economy. The dow is opening right now after what had been its worst four day start to a year in history. Is the jobs report clearly good news . Ok, so the headline number is great news, this is what wall street was looking for, 292,000 jobs is well ahead of expectations, well above that 200,000 mark, so thats a big warm blanket of good news, that headline number. Does this mean the worries are over, though . I would say no, because when you dig further into the job report and eventually the exists will, there are trends not to promising and one of those is average hourly wages. They declined a penny to 25. 24 an hour. Now when the minutes of the Federal Reserve policy meeting came out, it showed fed

Thinking of as ron was asking you to imagine some of the challenges is the fact that this executive action does not do a lot of things. One of the things it doesnt do is provide eligibility for health care, for example, for people who are eligible overall.

And thats the tough part. In a city like aurora, weve got three major hospitals weve got another one coming on line shortly i hope its a va hospital, you never know. But well find ways through the nonprofit community, through the Faithbased Community through our own program
