"57,000 net new jobs were created in November. Forecasters had predicted three times that many jobs would be created"

I haven't heard of a single sane forcaster making such bold claims??? I assume that this article must come from the instant gratification crowd??

All those new jobs are being created in the restaurant industry.

"Contradictory job reports rattle markets, some analysts," by Danielle DiMartino, The Dallas Morning News, reported that "Employers added just 57,000 jobs, far less than the 150,000 that economists had expected."

I did not google hard enough to get the names of the economists but I had read that many did in fact expect more jobs to be created. I believe that the adminstration itself set a goal of 200,000 a month last summer.
