I'll predict about 263.000 jobs and the unemployment rate is down to 8.1%

ADP says +216.000 jobs, up from 173.000 in January.

But ADP is almost never in line with the BLS report.

A few other encouraging signs:

Employment is up by 1.3 million alone in the past 2 months.

Employment is up by 2.3 million alone in the past 6 months.

Employment is up by 2.5 million in the past year.

Employment is up by 4.1 million since the low of 138 million in December 2009.

Employment is now higher by 400K than in February 2009, in Obama's first month in office.

Unemployment (12.8 million) is now also lower than in February 2009.

Another solid month.  Boy, whatever happened to that 0.5 percent surge in unemployment Gallup found? Tongue

Good news on a front doomsayers always like to focus on - half a million people rejoined the labour force.

Also good news are the big upward revisions.

If you start putting your trust into Gallup, you are fu**ed.

So what are our chances of getting below 8%? Europe seems to have calm down......but gas prices remain to be a risk.

Fun fact: If the labor force participation rate had stayed the same, unemployment would have to 8.0%.

Where are all the Republicans celebrating how 500,000 people returned to the labor force this week? That's the only thing that matters when it comes to unemployment, they've been sure to remind us constantly!

Sometimes, you can't deny recovery.

I'm still waiting for that recession as we kick out 2-3% quarterly growth.

Me too and it will probably never happen. We're still stuck at 8.3% unemployment and gas prices are already through the roof for the summer. I know when you want to win you paint a rosier picture for the base of the party, but this just isn't working.

It is funny how Republicans keep moving the goal post. First, when the unemployment rate was dropping it was due to discourage workers now that people are re-entering the work force and the rate stay the same(which is actually a good thing.....) you guys complain about the rate......it is very predictable.

Gas prices will do what they always do, peak in the summer then go down in the fall.
