What are the percentages for the last 18-24 months? Last 12 months? Thanks for compiling the data - it is interesting.

But your report goes back to 1985, long before CNBC even existed. The whole reason the jobs report moves markets is because it is reported breathlessly on CNBC and followed by millions and millions of investors. As your study shows, every single report since august 1999 has caused the market to go up. That's as close to 100% as statistics need to be.

>Last report day that was not up close-close or open-to-close:
Aug, 1999

Going back only two years we get better numbers. The chances of an up day are almost 90%, up from 68% since 1985.
