Excluding the one-time Census staffing, the jobs gained were 206,000 last month. Also, the household survey sample is still something like 500,000 below two months ago. There's likely some statistical adjustment bias at work. I see plenty of retail stocks going higher in the last two weeks, especially in the apparel and consumer electronics. I suspect there was some slowdown due to market, but more of it was likely due to seasonal slowdown and gas spikes above $ 2.25 in the West and Midwest in the Spring.
