Employment Growth Accelerating

October 31, 2004 Posted by John at 4:06 PM

A Bloomberg News survey of economists shows a median forecast of 175,000 payroll jobs in October, with unemployment holding at a low 5.4%. If that prediction is correct, it's a very healthy total. The Labor Department's numbers won't come out until a few days after the election.

No one is going to hear about these numbers unless Kerry wins, in which case, the Kerry Boom is already underway--has been, in fact, for some time.
