Jobs report

[Goalpost]

So the monthly jobs report came out and it showed monthly unemployment dropped to 8.4 percent. Still a big number but jobs have been rebounding seemingly ahead of the forecasts. Couple things to note. It is estimated that 5.2 million people are still restricted in going back to work because some states haven't fully opened up yet. The Wall Street Journal is going to have a story tomorrow which is going to reference the relationship between reduced benefits and how that actually improves the job figures because it creates urgency for people to well...find jobs. There is little doubt in looking back that the stimulus plan was effective, And Washington is in disagreement how the second plan should go. As a snap shot of right now....the question seems to be where are we.....at this point and what is needed to spend.
