1. Arianna is nothing more than an opportunist.

She was GOP for most of her life. Then switched when she saw a business/entertainment opportunity.


She's a lot like Michelle Bernard

3. Stronger report than last month, but may not be reported that way.

If you focus on just the 7.9%, it might only appear mediocre, but when you dig in, the report is pretty strong and far, far exceeded expectations.

6. Village will focus on the 7.9%

That you can count on.

Higher than expected jobs. Market responding well in futures. I was surprised.

5. 7.9% is GOOD!!! some thought it would bounce back above 8!

[Faith9326]

7. I think the point they're making is that it's lower than 8%

A lot of economists were predicting that it would go back up to 8%

8. Is Jack Welch going to come out today and take back his comments from last month?

In addition to this month's positive report, there was an upward revision of 50,000 jobs from the past 2 months.

The thing that Jack Welch doesn't understand -- I should say one thing among millions of things Jack Welch doesn't understand -- is that the unemployment "rate" comes from a different survey than the payroll employment number. So it is natural that the two numbers don't line up exactly every month. It has very little to do with the number of people deciding to enter or leave the work force. It is simply a case of two different groups of people conducting two different kinds of surveys that were never intended to match up in the very short term. Over the longer term, they should tell basically the same story -- and they do.
