CLEVELAND AREA JOBS... NO MOTION: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics posted its new metropolitan job numbers Wednesday.

Their June 2004 count of employment on nonfarm payrolls in the Cleveland/Lorain/Elyria metro area is virtually identical to June 2003... which was virtually identical to June 2002.


Which is to say, we're still at the bottom of a three-year trough... and not moving.
