PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup estimates that more than 1.5 million Americans who were underemployed became employed to full capacity over the last month. Gallup's 30-day average underemployment measure (not seasonally adjusted) declined to 19.2% on April 18 -- a sharp improvement from the 20.2% reported on March 21 -- and essentially matching its best level of the year....
Gallup's Job Creation Index (not seasonally adjusted) provides additional confirmation of the improving job situation, hitting +5 for the week of April 12-18 -- its best level of the year and its highest since November 2008. The 27% of American workers last week who said their companies are hiring matches the high for the year, while the 22% who reported that their companies are letting people go marks a new 2010 low....
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' evaluations of their current financial situations remain low, and the 41% who describe their personal financial situations as excellent or good is the lowest Gallup has measured in the past decade.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Even as Gallup's underemployment measure shows that more people are getting full-time jobs, 21% of American workers think it is "very" or "fairly" likely that they will lose their jobs or be laid off during the next 12 months. That is nearly twice the 12% pre-recession level of 2007 and about the same as the 19% recorded in late 1982, during another deep recession.
Yep, they are trying their best to prop up obama's failed policies with "encouraging" news.
But as far as who is employed and who isnt I think I'll rely on someone other then gallup who calls 1,000 people
Uh...Gallup has long been trusted as the most accurate polling post historically. It's nonbiased and is generally the best teller of all things America. But if you want to rely on Quinnipaic and Rasmussen, well, you go right ahead...

Yes, economic improvement must be bad news...
