I'm taking the job growth numbers with a grain of salt! Total Nonfarm Employment INCREASED 6,000 Not Seasonally Adjusted Not Seasonally Adjusted .... (in thousands) Mar. 129,801p Feb. 129,794p INCREASE...6 Seasonally Adjusted Mar. 130,548p Feb. 130,240p INCREASE 308 Total Nonfarm Employment INCREASED 308,000 Seasonally Adjusted (as reported) They may have underestimated in previous months and were making up the difference. There is now a 604,000 increase between Jan. and Feb.???!!; So there is little doubt that these Feb. and Mar. estimates are wrong. How wrong? I don't know. stats.bls.gov Skeet
