    That's all well and good but there are over 92 MILLION folks not working and not counted. How many was there at the end of 2008?

    Someone please explain....estimates posted by Tom earlier was:
    "Briefing.com's consensus estimates are looking for +225,000 and 5.4%."
    So how could the number exceed by so much and still report a HIGHER unemployment %?!

    And if it DOES mean that the number will be revised DOWN (say to 212K for instance ), does that mean that I win too?!

    just wonderin'.....
    There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary, and those that don't!!
