As Job Growth Slows, Will Republicans Double Down On Austerity? By Pat Garofalo on June 1, 2012 at 10:05 am "As Job Growth Slows, Will Republicans Double Down On Austerity?" The Bureau of Labor Statistics today reported that the economy created a disappointing 69,000 jobs last month, and that the unemployment rate increased to 8.2 percent. At the same time, borrowing rates for the U.S. government have hit lows never before seen: Investors stampeded into U.S. government bonds Thursday, driving the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury note as low as 1.54 percent, a record…The record low rate beat the previous mark of 1.55 percent, which was set in November 1945. As Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman explained today, “When the private sector is frantically trying to pay down debt, the public sector should do the opposite, spending when the private sector can’t or won’t. Instead, Congress, driven by a cut-happy Republican House, has pursued austerity, leading to hundreds of thousands of public sector job losses.
The Best and Worst Times to Share on Facebook, Twitter Want your link to get the most traction on Twitter? Post it on a Monday between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. ET. Link shortening and tracking service bit.ly has released new data on the best and worst times to share links on popular social networks, from Facebook and Twitter to blogging site Tumblr. The company revealed that posting links to Twitter between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The half-life of a link posted to Twitter is about 2.8 hours, according to bit.ly. However, Facebook's optimal posting times are slightly different than Twitter. Links posted after 8:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. on Facebook don't get the most clicks. "While traffic starts to increase around 9:00 a.m., one would be wise to wait to post until 11am," bit.ly said in a blog post on its site. Meanwhile, Tumblr has a much different usage pattern than Facebook and Twitter. It's also suggested that Friday evenings are a key time to post on Tumblr — a time bit.ly recommends avoiding on Facebook and Twitter.
