The White House is bracing for an ugly unemployment report on Friday that is expected to be worse because of the three winter storms that hit the East Coast last month.
Goldman Sachs predicted the economy will lose as many as 100,000 jobs in February due to blizzard-like conditions that kept employers and prospective hires from getting to the office.

Has the Government ever lost a job?
Being someone who never trusts the Left, it’s quite possible they are deliberately lowering expectations so they will claim job losses “unexpectedly” failed to increase as much as “expected” when the jobs numbers come in at better (less) then 100,000 jobs lost.
That said, how lame is it to claim jobs were LOST because of bad weather? Miss a day maybe, but lose your job? I never heard of anything like that in my life.
The dog ate my jobs.
Exactly! the other thing is it didn’t snow every day in February. It also didn’t knock out the phones or the internet. People could still conduct phone interviews and get their resumes in front of prospective employers. The real problem is that there are very few prospective employers. Particularly in any manufacturing businesses.
Producers are panic stricken that they will spend $20 or $320 k to hire a new employee only to find that the government mandates on Health Care and extra taxes will cause them to lay off the new hires.
Good one!
Shocked my ass. Barry “The Marxist” has done what the Russians tried to do, DESTROY AMERICA!
And it only took 1 year.
Yeah, the blizzard caused 100 THOUSAND jobs to disappear...MY A$$!
Assuming this is not a set up for phony “good news,” bad news with the unemployment rate on Friday may be the final death knell for BOcare.
Do you find that unexpected?
I wonder if Obama continues 2 parties a week at the White House?
That should kill the healthcare power grab once and for all. Somebody tell the RATS, its the economy stupid.
Marty62...”The lack of knowledge in this admin is freightening.”
Barry knows EXACTLY what his Marxist a$$ is doing, destroying America.
There is a lot of speculative sugar coating in the article. What it boils down to (once the speculation is removed) is it would have been a lot worse if the Census Bureau had not hired 30,000 workers.
I hope so, but I foresee the Democrats passing an Immigration Bill this summer. Then they get another 10-20 million voters to vote Democrat.
The fact that this is expected is the unexpected news.
When will the weak assed Republican POS politicians get a grip and call Barry “The Marxist” on the fact that he is intentionally destroying this country?
HELLO REPUBLICANS....wake up!!!!!
Nah, nothing but dead air.
I should have clarified that.
Oh they have their Commie/Fascist/Socialist think tank as advisors.
I’m referring to their shocking lack of knowledge regarding economics, medical economics etc etc.
