The actual number is probably far worse than what's being reported ... we'll know more in a few hours after people have had a chance to analyze the adjustments made to the raw data by government bureaucrats.
That was unexpected.
The numbers are way down because it rained. Or maybe it snowed or got hot or something. If those excuses don’t fit then let’s blame W.
Just in time for graduation.
Dishonest media “whispered” about 200K jobs - can’t blame 35K strikers at Verizon. Trump should/will ask how many jobs Crooked Hillary has ever created?
Really really bad report...
Only 26K private sector jobs. IT, Manufacturing and Construction all declined. Growth in healthcare.
Labor force participation tanked
Only positive was continued wage growth...
The numbers are a mess. Dollar tanking as the June rate hike is so far off the table that the table is gone.
Looks like we need another Recovery Summer. /sarc
Trump’s fault.
There will be an extra little spring in Obama's step today.
Gold is soaring, eh?
Looks to me like the PM markets smell helicopter money in the air...
Must have been the weather, or the Verizon strike was actually 150,000 workers.
I’d like to read a deep dive on where these healthcare jobs are coming from. Probably not the VA, not Health Ins Co, they are getting killed with Odungacare Policies.
translation: Obama decided to re-cook the books in a way that will preclude the Fed from raising rates before the election.
From 160K to 123K to 38K to

Something to cheer them up

This is terrible.
A recession is right around the corner.
America is crazy to put these people back into power. They believe a part time job is being employed. They believe unemployed is just fine and dandy.
And they expect to pay for everyone else to get endless benefits on the backs of those working, even if it is only part-time.
This is a disaster
Was the dumBO regime dude for inflated employment numbers on leave?
Obama will blame Congress. Anything but his own policies that Hillary supports......expect something big to happen to get the focus off economy.
So if we are to infer that correction data from before as a harbinger of the current numbers revision....average revision downward was 29.5K. and this there were essentially near zero new jobs added.
I’m waiting for Hillary, Bernie, and the Bamster to put their arms around each other and start singing in chorus about how it’s all those hoarders and saboteurs...
