Yesterday, the advance jobs number was 170,000

This morning, CNN is reporting they expect it to be a meager 95,000.

Of course, it fits much better into their pro-Rmoney narrative, and allows them to have Republicans on to slam Obama, even though they admit they don't know what the actual number will be.

Gotta love cable news!

(BTW, I ever watch CNN, but I happened to change the channel because MSNBC is running a taped Joe & Mika "special." I guess having them gone for a week was too good to be true.)

The government non-farm payrolls report includes both public and private sector.

The monthly poll that ADP does reports only on the private sector job and is a gathered a from a random subset of their business clients (they are a HR/payroll company).
