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.

A manifestation of the public sector influence on Goldman Sachs. Only in the public sector do offices shut down and workers employees call in en masse. Those of us in the private sector still have to get to work. And I'm sure most of the unemployed with bills to pay would not let the snow keep them from getting to a job interview, and a private sector business with positions to fill still needs them filled, snow or no.

Or, if I have a snow day on Thursday, then I reschedule the interview for Friday.

This is BS of the highest magnitude. It's easily exposed, if 100,000 jobs were lost (or whatever) due to bad weather in February, then there should be a corresponding bump up in March when the weather clears up.

I'm not holding my breath that anyone in the MSM is actually going to pay attention, though.
