    Default Guess the April Jobs Report

    Friday we get the April jobs report. Anyone want to make a prediction on the number of jobs (non-farm payrolls) gained / lost??

    Briefing.com has a consensus estimate near +155,000.

    There's a blue travel mug up for grabs for the closest pick.

    You can't pick a number already taken and each guess must be rounded to 1000's. (ex: +201,000, -14,000, +195,000, +176,000, -5,000, etc. - no 100's)


    I'll take predictions until 12:00 midnight ET on Thursday night.

    Thanks!
    Tom
