The average of the last three months shows payrolls now gaining 171,000 a month. This is a 2 million/yr. pace.

it had a 140 gimmick (striking workers and weather / seasonal adjustments) - as I wrote before the talking heads were low -balling the number.

Further the adjustments are suspicious as there is again a discrepancy the published number, household survey and tax receipts.

Based on the reaction in the FX market the number was leaked to the influential and powerful - they acted since morning and really dumped it 2 minutes before 8:30
