On Thursday, July 2 we get the June jobs report. Make your predictions on the number of jobs gained / lost in the month (and the unemployment rate)...


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)

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

If the winner also guesses the unemployment number correctly, they can upgrade to the stainless mug if they'd like (so predict both)!

We'll take predictions until 12:00 midnight ET this Wednesday night, July 1.


Thanks, and good luck!


Briefing.com's consensus estimates are looking for +230,000 and 5.4%.

This was a duplicate guess (http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/jobs-reports-and-contests/22933-jobs-report-contest-june-2015-a.html#post503920) (and late - sorry I forgot to close the thread).

Good Morning Tom,

I received yesterday, Monday, the sparkling mug and the two (2) pens.
That was quick for the postal service to deliver the package considering the holidays.
Kudos to the US Postal Service and TSPTalk for their promptness and efficiency.

Thanks.
