The Jobs Shrug
Happy Good Friday, everyone. This is going to be a very light holiday weekend, content-wise, but I wanted to chime in on the only meaningful economic data point of the week, which was the monthly jobs report, released earlier this morning.
The data that came out was bullish across the board. Hourly earnings weakened, diminishing inflation concerns. Jobs growth was three times stronger than anticipated. Finally, the overall unemployment rate dipped from 4.4% to 4.3%. Three for three positive signs.
As I Lay Dying
Folks, I’m not sure how productive I’m going to be during this holiday weekend. I am dealing with unprecedented pain. Rest assured that once I’m able to stand without being in agony, I’ll crank up the content again. Meanwhile, my outside contributors have almost totally dried up with their posts; if there’s ever a time for a post, fellas, this would be it!! I’ll return here when I am able and, over the course of the Easter weekend, as frequently as I can muster, which might not be much.
