NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Don't expect Friday's jobs report to swing the election. In all likelihood, it will show more of the same sluggish job growth the U.S. economy has seen for months. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney predict the September jobs report, released at 8:30 a.m. ET, will indicate that employers added 110,000 jobs during the month.

This SUCKS! How is Obama getting away with numbers like this? Kim Jong Un has created more jobs than that!

I do not agree. Obama has been (likely illegally) spending what they’ve called “left over stimulus” in the swing states to juice the numbers just before the election - over $400 million in August alone. I expect us to break below 8% tomorrow - 7.9%, add 155,000 jobs - and watch as the media goes bananas in celebration of these lackluster temporary numbers. And if Americans fall for it they get what they deserve. Because I also estimate that by the time these 6-month contracts expire in February, the rate will be back near 8.5%.

I agree, Toys R Us is adding 45,000 jobs and Kohl’s 52,000. These are season jobs out of about 700,000 that retailers like Walmart, they expect to have until early 2013. After poor debate performance best way to change the subject is for much above avg numbers.

BIGGEST ON MONTH JUMP IN 29 YEARS!!!

...and OMB tells defense industries to ignore the WARN Act and says if they get sued for doing so, the Feds (taxpayers) will pick up the tab.

all just coincidental.
