if disappointing when i only have 120,000 jobs created in the month of march. many hoped for 200,000, this is a slow-down in hiring from what we have seen over the prior three months. the 8.2% unemployment rate is interesting, economists say 164,000 people dropped out of the workforce, and that's why you saw the jobless rate come down. i want to take a look at where the jobs are, okay? we saw job losses in retail, 34,000 jobs lost in retail. why is this important with all these categories? retail is the pulse how the consumer is feeling. if you're losing jobs in retail maybe that shows a consumer slow-down we have seen lately as well, strength in retail sales. this is what the trend looks like we are talking about economics or markets the trend is your friend. right here is the big sell-off in the last months of the bush administration and into the early months of the obama administration. hundreds of thousands of jobs lost. here is stimulus spending and census hiring, and looked like things were picking up and big disappointment in concerns about a double dip recession. here is the trend of job creation since then a lot of economists wanted to see this trend continue higher, you have half the pace of hiring in march than they would have liked, half the pace of prior months. but it still shows you are on the positive side of the ledger of job creation, although many people would like to see it more robust than this, randi?
