Employment Data

Interesting news. The employment data are particularly encouraging since there has been so little good news on that front. This clearly does not mean a turn around in the labor market, but it is nice to get some less bad news. The Industrial Production numbers also bode well for economic growth in the third quarter. The retails sales data are also encouraging. All in all, a pretty good couple of days.

    Where can I get information on public sector employment rates? Seems like the public sector numbers might be on the rise.

    You can find employment data at www.bls.gov. You will want to download the "Employment Situation," also known as the nonfarm payroll data.
