Census hiring made last month's employment picture look pretty good, as total employment grew by 431,000. But tear off the 411,000 temporary jobs added to the federal government's payrolls for the decennial census, and the picture gets fuzzy. Private-sector employers added just a tenth of the jobs tied to the census. The Labor Department considers those 41,000 jobs to be "little" change--hardly what any economist, job seeker, or Washington lawmaker wants to see at this point in the fledgling recovery (and this close to November elections).
