  27. March Jobs Report: 88,000 Jobs created; Unemployment Rate Falls to 7.6%

  28. Jobs Report- Beyond the Headlines Besides the “unemployment Rate” and number of jobs created, here's what to look for to better understand the report and make investment decisions from it. • Part-time workers • Two 20hr part time jobs = one full time 40hr job but would be 2 net jobs created. • Seasonal hires • Employees hired for holidays/special events aren’t real economic jobs. • Labor force participation rate • Measures how many people are able to work but have stopped looking and are no longer counted in the labor force.

  29. If the Labor Participation rate was the same as 2007 the unemployment rate would be 11%!!
