Up 225K according to Robert Brusca. And he normally understates job gains. Estimates are for 205k, prior was 175k. 225k or above would crush the ten-year note, and with it spike mortgage rates.

Estimates all over the map-as usual.
Money is cheap right now. Citbank sent me a 1.99% credit card offer (transfer of debt). Much competition among mortgage lenders.
