EMPLOYMENT FIGURES
RECENT FIGURES (June): Jobs, up 11,000, Unemployment Rate: 4.0%

RELEASE DATE: First Friday of every month;( the second if Friday is the
first day of the month.)

Employment is about as good a measure of the health of the economy as any.
Economic growth creates jobs, new jobs lead to higher personal income, which
leads to more spending, more growth, and so on.

Financial markets, particularly bonds, can react violently and almost
instantly to the very first numbers from the report to hit financial wire
services.

Economists and financial analysts take anywhere from several minutes to a
few hours to decipher what the report as a whole really means. That's why,
for example, bonds can jump in one direction in the first seconds after the
report is released, then move in the opposite direction as more of the report gets digested by investors.
