    Default October Jobs Report Contest

    On Friday, November 8, we get the October jobs report. Make your predictions on the number of jobs gained / lost in the month??

    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.



    New: 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 on Thursday night.

    Thanks!
    Tom
