Non-Farm Payrolls & Unemployment Rate - 10/5/12 October 5, 2012
On Friday October 5, 2012, the September jobs report will be released at 8:30am EST. The consensus estimate for the jobs number has the US gaining 120,000 jobs in September 2012. The estimate for the unemployment rate is 8.0%.
If you recall, the jobs number in August was 96,000. This report was worse than expected but the stock market jumped on QE3 rumors.
Prediction - My prediction is for a gain of 136,000 jobs in September. What is your jobs report prediction for 10/5/12? Post it below!
Actual Number - 114,000 w/ unemployment rate at 7.8%

which stocks do you think would give good gains due to lower unemployment %
