Thanks, Mr. Bush.....thanks Republicans. "Stock futures indicate a positive start to the session, despite easing off of earlier levels. Nonfarm payrolls fell by 240,000 in October, marking the 10th consecutive monthly decline. The drop in payrolls was worse than the consensus, which called for 200,000 jobs to be lost. Nonfarm payrolls declined by 284,000 in September. Manufacturing payrolls were down 90,000, exceeding the 65,000 manufacturing job losses that economists forecast, and down from the 56,000 job losses in the prior month. The national unemployment rate now stands at 6.5%, which is up from the 6.1% unemployment rate reported last month. Economists were expecting an unemployment rate of 6.3%. Average hourly earnings were up 0.2% month-over-month and 3.5% year-over-year. Both were in-line with the consensus."
