OT: 103,000 jobs added in December

Good news, that, but I didn’t see thr breakdown yet.
How many are “seasonal” (i.e. holiday retail etc)?

I am listening to a radio report right now on the unemployment figures… the announcer pointed out the fact that these figures have something to do with seasonal hiring, and the number of new hires is not as large as expected… and that the real indicator will be next month when the after holiday lay offs have run their course. The announcer said they expect the unemployed number to go back up by the Feb. numbers.

That’s what I just heard.
