Moments ago the August unemployment figures were announced. The numbers were not good, rising three tenths of one percent to 9.7%.
The number of lost jobs was lower than expected 216,000 instead of 225,000, but clearly the economy is not out of the woods yet.
Expect some sell offs today.
UPDATE: Corrected street estimate number to 225,000 from 233,000.
UPDATE 2: Looks like the market likes it so far. Right now the DJIA is up 10 points.
