  don't see how it was disappointing. Only lost a net 100K jobs. The Oct number will likely be decreased dramatically over the next couple of months. Now the unemployment rate is a joke. Shouldn't be jumping ..4% on 100K job losses.

  Every month, as the unemployment numbers increase, the talking heads remind us that the number is a lagging indicator. So are my putts, but they sure don't improve my golf score.

  Right, it is a jok e because 800K adjustment losses are currently not being included, and will be incliuded in March. What is it going to do to the official unemployement rate, do you think?
