1000?

Not 130,000?

I wonder if they consider temp jobs and temp hirings. I would like to see those numbers in the raw and applied to these studies.

The report is HERE

Let's see, my UPS guy had a temp worker with him to help over Christmas.

So that's 1 of the 1000.

I have a hard time believing the numbers too, unless, these temp workers aren't included, or they got their jobs in November.

Traditional businesses, other than retail, have never done alot of hiring in December.

"I would like to see those numbers in the raw and applied to these studies."

So would I. The quarterly reports from employers re the fourth quarter won't even come in until close to the end of January. I wonder where they get these statistics?

Fox said they do not count people who start their own businesses, or self-employed.

I find that figure of only 1,000 new jobs for the entire U.S.A. in the month of December to be completely ludicrous. I think there were more new jobs than that just in the Riverside, CA area. Methinks these figures are suspect, at best, and why the hell out in left field at worst.
