All I want for my birthday is a good jobs report

Last edited Thu Nov 1, 2012, 04:38 AM - Edit history (1)

My birthday is this Friday. I want a strong jobs report as my present. Ideally I'd like to see 7.4% unemployment, but any decrease would be good.

That's why I want it. If unemployment can drop a couple of points that will help Obama win!

I got a pretty good feeling you are going to get your birthday wish

From a purely non-scientific view (one which I've heard quoted on the news lately) by the traffic jam index Employment is WAY UP in the SF Bay Area. Levels by which have not been seen since 2007
