Tomorrows job report will be bad

[Sam Spade]

Who knows what the jobs number is going to be and how accurate the numbers are (after the various fudging games)?  The jobs number is always a lagging indicator anyways (though it can be leading in certain situations in credit-based recessions/depressions such as the present).

The report sucked, but according to this thread, no one should be surprised.

It is interesting that the unemployment rate goes down the more folks cease to look for work and just sit on their ass. Does this annoy you as much as it annoys me?

Yes, but neither you or I are a government statistican or enabler or whatever.
