From the Washington Post:
Private employers added 220,00 jobs, moving the total of private-sector jobs created in 2011 to 1.9 million [my emphasis].
From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Finally got around to looking at the @usbank scan/deposit feature. Handy! But they want $.50 per deposit. SRSLY? Credit union time.

First and foremost, I love your content. You’ve produced several of my favorite shows over the years, and the hits keep on coming. I’d love to watch Game of Thrones now, but I can’t. You see, the only way to get your service is to be a cable subscriber, and several months ago I cut the cord.
