Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases its eagerly anticipated jobs report. Cue the headlines. Job numbers up? Good—well done, politicians. Job numbers down? Bad. Weak economy.
Interpreting data this way misses the real story. Do these jobs allow you to own a home, eat, pay bills, or start/support a family? Will there be time for leisure? Joy? Do these jobs provide a predictable schedule? Stability? Peace of mind? In short: Are they good jobs?
