Predict the October Jobs & UE rate numbers

[Tender Branson]

Should be out in the next hour.

I'd say the BLS people won't disappoint their man Obama in this one and it will show:

+188.000 jobs (+185.000 private, +3.000 government)

UE rate = 7.6% (-0.2)

Regardless how it turns out....is it too late to make any difference?

Actual numbers:

+ 171.000 jobs (+184.000 private, -13.000 government)

UE rate = 7.9% (+0.1)

August #s revised up from 142K to 192K.

August #s revised up from 114K to 148K.

My private sector prediction was not bad.

UE rate prediction could have been better though.
