"The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey, rose to 4.8% from 4.7%, the Labor Department said Friday. That's because a hefty rise in employment was offset by an even bigger increase in the number of Americans working and looking for jobs."

Is the glass half full or half empty?

So how does this work. Wife is out of work but on severance pay. Does she count as unemployed? First time she is unemployed in last 35 years.

Surprised you're the first to post this up. Usually Ken Lehner (or is it oldandslow?) is quick to post up good numbers.

No one can put in the jobs report, it will be adjusted later.

At least, that's what I've heard for the last 8 years.

NFP is less useful as the economy has changed. The household survey is better, but still all the numbers are made up and massaged by the nerds.

Sorry, I was going to post. Let's see, this is 19/31 Obama and 12/31 Trump, right? Actually, pretty much a continuation of the past 4 years.
