With March unemployment data to be released April 2, some are anticipating what potentially lower jobless numbers will all mean for the financial markets and the economy as a whole. However, that data will come with the caveat that it will be misleading because it will include temporary jobs driven by hiring for the 2010 census.
On CNBC's March 29 "Squawk Box," CME floor reporter Rick Santelli was asked how to interpret the expected improvement. He warned it isn't the kind of job creation that is good for a sustained economic recovery.
"You know, I think it's fascinating," Santelli said. "Most experts would agree, the kind of job creation we're going to see is welcome but it isn't the kind we need in the big picture. But having said that, yes, I think that the markets will act in a way that will show a robustness if the number comes in a couple of hundred thousand and I think it's kind of silly."

The US Census Bureau reports that its main recruitment effort for Census 2010 followup jobs will begin in fall of 2009, with the majority of hiring to take place in the spring of 2010.
Census officials say their local and regional offices will need over 3.1 million applicants to work on the post-census, non-response followup operation to take place from late April through July 2010. This is what is happening. Temp jobs that go away!

The jobs number is meaningless to the millions of Americans who are out of work and not working for the census. The cheerleaders could cheer all they want but they aren’t fooling many people.

Wait a minute. They’ve been hiring for the census since the fall of 2009, and we’ve still been losing jobs? What aren’t they telling us?
