Excerpted from “March jobs jump could lift Obama” By EAMON JAVERS, Politico, 4/1/10 5:10 PM EDT
[SIZE="+2"]T[/SIZE]he Obama administration’s spring offensive may gain further momentum Friday morning with a monthly jobs report that many economists believe could be the beginning of a sustained string of employment gains.

A positive report is far from a certainty — the numbers are notoriously hard to predict. But administration officials are keenly aware that serious signs of job growth, coupled with a surge on Wall Street in recent weeks, could dramatically change the political equation on the economy, where a nearly constant string of bad jobs numbers has helped undermine public confidence that President Barack Obama’s economic agenda is working and emboldened his Republican critics. …

I honestly don't know but I hope up.
 
From several reports I've heard, it should be going up slightly.
 
Up then down in a revision at a later date when the public is not watching

A tactic that has been used for a few years
 
Down. I'm getting really tired of people getting excited when we don't lose as many jobs as we thought we would, as if that's a good thing. I'm only going to be impressed when we actually CREATE jobs and overall unemployment goes down.

From what I've been reading, job growth better happen soon.
We are in for a second round of the housing crisis.

Take a look at the 2010-2012 parts of this graph, ARM's and Alt-A's are set to reset resulting in higher payments and no chance of refinancing with many of them because of the interest building on the loans.

That is some scary **** if you ask me.

Yes it is and it is all Obama's fault for people taking out ARM's and Alt A that readjust now before he became president

Realistically though it is scary ____ and it is going to cause a second leg downward. With more foreclosures and bankruptcies for people and more bank failures

I was wanting to buy in early 2011 but I'm reconsidering that now.
I hate that many people have to lose out in order for me to get a good deal though.

Job Market Brightened in March - NYTimes.com



48,000 of them are census jobs though.

How about we repeat conservative rhetoric some more? That still means around 110,000 jobs were created. What say you about THOSE jobs? hmmmm? How about we address the topic rather than trying to intentionally demean the economic recovery.

110,000 jobs created is a HELL OF A LOT better than losing 700,000 a month, don't you agree?

I believe, more in hope than belief, that the number of NEW jobs will increase.

What I am not certain about is whether those jobs will be in Manufacturing /Services Industry.
I am as fearful as are some other folk with regards to the melt down of the Housing market which I believe will be worse than we have thus far seen.
But then I am a Pessimist.
