modest hiring I.e., stores are starting to take on temp workers for the upcoming holiday season, and have been since mid-October.

Anybody thinking the number tomorrow doesn’t drop to under 7.8 is dreaming. There is absolutely no chance Hilda Solis and her band of thugs won’t cook the books. None.
I would bet everything I own that the number drops and the press goes crazy over it.

My question is: With Hurricane Sandy raging along the Eastern Seaboard this week, did ALL agencies get their data reported? I find it a bit difficult to believe they did.

You wouldn’t know it from the article but last weeks was upwardly revised to 371,000.
The 82nd upward revision in 83 weeks.
Any doubt that this week will be upwardly revised as well?
To: traderrob6
That seemed to be left out of several articles I looked at.

The rosy economic numbers will all be back to doom and gloom come late January after Mitt is sworn in.
Did WaPo include reference to the downward adjusted payroll numbers?

It's not just whether agencies are open to report the data. A bigger question is how many unemployed people in affected areas were stuck in their homes during this week and could not get out to file a claim? I'm guessing thousands at least.

Yes they leave that out don’t they? I’m just shocked they wrote “STILL WEAK JOB MARKET” in the damn story.

“Optimism that Obamugabe will be FIRED in 5 days.”
I've actually been thinking if any REAL economic upturns, tiny as they are, have been the result of the first POTUS debate where this election looks to have turned R/R.
I suspect next Wednesday will signal the start of a collective exhale across the nation, and the world, in general.

Tomorrow's October Report will be very interesting.... I'd bet cash money that you'll have to look LONG and HARD to find any logic, truth or reality in the report. It will be an all out attempt to save the kenyan commie liar.
