    As of this writing, the S&P 500 is down .06% this morning. What gives?
    The number missed the 300K estimate.

    Congrats DreamboatAnnie!

    What's frustrating with the Jobs Report is that it is always off as indicated by all the prior revisions...last month's was off by 51K (-33K vs +18K)

    I agree. The revisions over the years have been so dramatic at times that it makes you wonder why they don't wait a while before releasing the report. Of course that would open the door to more insider trading possibilities, but I'm not sure what good it does to pass out data that may be completely off.
