Heart tells me 204,000 @ 7.1%, but since 204,000 is already taken I'll go:

203,000 @ 7.1%

202000. 7.0

i asked this in another thread:
if it is projected at 203k. What numbers are we looking for to give the markets a needed "pop"?
im assuming higher than 203k and lower than 7.0 and we could see a good jump. Right?

Also... Having too good of a number may speed up the QE taper if I'm not mistaken. We want a happy medium, right? Just to get a slower taper rate
