But ZERO will crow about the next Unememployment rate release which will show another drop to 8.1% and the media will hail the great turnaround continues

Every time he or one of his evil minions utters an idiotic statement we all get a sip of our favorite libation. I like the idea, but we wouldn't survive a week.

With the choice now narrowed down to being between a slimy Massachusetts liberal or an incompetent Chicago Marxist, employers have little optimism.

You get the idea. I'm sure in no time we can stimulate the alcohol industry, and by extension the makers of asprin and/or ibuprofin. ;-)
Arn't the "alcohol industry" and the "cosmetic or perfume industry" that have increased business in recession times? IIRC

The prior week's figure was revised up
How many times, in the last 4 years, has the figure ever been "revised down"?
The weekly underestimating continues to be laughable -- but they continue to get away with it.

Not to mention our entire summer economy is based on hitting the road for the family vacation. Very little of that happening this summer, hence no seasonal hiring.
These numbers will start looking really bad in June and July.

My sense is that buying had died for a bit, that consumers had paid down credit cards and loans, and that they had had a period of purchasing before and after Christmas that led to a demand that required some extra workers.
They have now done their spending so it’s slowing down and retailers and manufacturers are sensing that.
Additionally, higher gas prices have again siphoned off discretionary cash, so that has also softened any demand for other items. The oil sheiks get rich again in another of the installments of price hikes promised by the bowing to mecca obama. (These opec manipulators of prices will again ratchet up supply prior to election day to make him look good.)
The next recession will be intentional, and it will be programmed to hit end of the year is my sense.

I demand to know what they expect before hand.
Then maybe I will be surprised at the outcome.
