If the wage gains are small they are lying.

John, honestly, I don't have a clue. I've seen very smart economists that spend countless hours gaming these numbers fail to accurately predict government data. However, I remain extremely skeptical that manufacturing jobs, which are higher paying, have remotely reflected reality. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the wage gains are greater than consensus. Still don't think it'll mean much than a short-term buying opportunity.
