what was it they were predicting? i heard it last night and promptly forgot what it was.
It needs to be 200K or so to indicate rapid expansion of the economy.
However the household survey indicates that Total employment rose by 629,000, meaning a crapload of people got existing jobs, that did not previously have one.
With unemployment at 5.5 % (5% being full employment) this is going to be a PITA issue thru Novemeber.
