Wow.

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

That's twice this year, and I was sorta trying to be funny... with that big increase I would have expected unemployment to go down... maybe some are coming back and looking for jobs now??? you never know

PM sent, lets see how long it takes to get overseas

 

[BichonFreeze]

That's a big report.

 

[Frixxxx]

Can we start a correction/revision contest?

 

[tsptalk]

Good news may actually be good news again with QE off the table... Although the futures did dip slightly after the report?

Congrats RMI. I'm still trying to win one. I guess I'll have to buy one.
