    Default July Jobs Report Contest

    Friday we get the July jobs report. Anyone want to make a prediction on the number of jobs gained / lost??

    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.



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

    Thanks!
    Tom
