The more important services sector, which is still holding up well, generates a whopping 80 percent of the jobs.

This looks like a PR peice from the mavens of the street. Just find it interesting that we now have 80% of the enomomy based in jobs that produce NADA. Great book on this subject - and why we could be in deep trouble in the future - "In Praise of Hard Industries: Why Manufacturing, Not the Information Economy, Is the Key to Future Prosperity" 'Eamonn Fingleton'

Westpacific, what Chambers forgot to say in completing his sentence was: ``I wish the American central bank had reacted faster instead of on old statistics. If they had started to lower rates back in November things would look different today ... (my addition on his behalf) had the central bank done so, it would have given me a better price at which to short my own shares''
