I would guess that the payroll job figures will be in the 150,000 to 175,000 area. Many Companies continuing to downsize and restructure. It will be interestng to see what the household job figures are. Historically , I believe there was good correlation but in the last years household figures exceeded the total 2 mill increase in payroll figures by a large amount. Although people are not getting hired by companies as much, many people are working as independent contractors, it would seem. Maybe this is one reason consumption , houses etc remain robust. JMHO.
