Anyone want to take a bet as to what this number will be in six months? It's gone from 60,000 to 57,000 in just a few days and January has only begun. It was 85,000 just around summer/fall 2008. I would guess we see mid 20k by summer this year.

So when we get those million infrastructure jobs coming down the pipe, what task force is going to see to it that joe the plumber is hired by the greedy construction companies and not jose and luis south of the border? Will it be 1 million jobs for the illegals or for the Americans?
Ahh the lure of cheap labor.
Stay tuned...

I think we're actually entering a secular bull market. Call me an optimist if you like, but the price action the past few months tells me that the bear is dead; main reason being that bear market rallies are violent. None of the rallies we've seen have been violent in the past 2 months. The trends look more slow-and-steady toward 1250.
