Thread: Jobs Report Contest - July 2014

    Exclamation Jobs Report Contest - July 2014


    On Friday, August 1, we get the July 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 31.


    Thanks, and good luck!



    Briefing.com's consensus estimates are looking for +220,000 and 6.1%.

    By the way, Bronco, you have only a few more hours to change your guess so that it can count. (No half thousands.)
