Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

In December, both total employment, at 145.9 million, and the employment-

population ratio, at 63.4 percent, were little changed. Over the year, total

employment grew by 3.1 million and the employment-population ratio rose by 0.6

percentage point. The civilian labor force edged up in December to 152.8 million.

The labor force participation rate, at 66.4 percent, was little changed over the

month, but the rate was 0.4 percentage point higher than a year earlier. (See

table A-1.)

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

About 1.3 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached

to the labor force in December, 337,000 fewer than a year earlier. These indi-

viduals wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job sometime

in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had

not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. Among the marginally

attached, there were 274,000 discouraged workers in December, down from 451,000

a year earlier. Discouraged workers were not currently looking for work specifi-

cally because they believed no jobs were available for them. The other 978,000

persons marginally attached to the labor force in December had not searched for

work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or

family responsibilities. (See table A-13.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 167,000 in December to 136.2

million, following increases of 86,000 in October and 154,000 in November (as

revised). Over the year, payroll employment rose by 1.8 million. In December,

employment growth continued in several service-providing industries. Employment

in construction was about unchanged over the month, and the number of manufac-

turing jobs continued to trend downward. (See table B-1.)

systems design and related services. Temporary help services employment was

little changed over the month and over the year.

health care services (14,000), hospitals (11,000), and nursing and residential

care facilities (7,000). Over the year, health care employment increased by

324,000, with gains spread throughout the component industries.

sentially unchanged.

December. Job gains in the industry averaged 4,000 per month in 2006.

in October and November that totaled 53,000. After increasing by 295,000 in 2005,

construction employment was little changed in 2006. Over the year, gains in non-

residential speciality trades and in heavy construction were largely offset by a

decline in residential specialty trades.

Manufacturing employment continued to trend down over the month with declines

in motor vehicles and parts (-5,000), primary metals (-3,000), and textile mills

(-2,000). Over the year, manufacturing employment fell by 72,000 with declines

widespread throughout the component industries.

hi Nina,

Hi, Prasxz!

It is smart to close all your positions before NFP; except when you are in profit. If you are - I was already short on cable from 1,9425 - I placed my stop and reverse at 1,9415. It was trading at 1,9390. 14:00cet closed at 1,9400. 14:30cet bar opened at 1,9402 and went down with fury. It made a low at 1,9387. That is +128 pips. I closed half at 1,9304 ( +121 pips) and the other half at 1,9315 ( +110 pips).

BTW, I have a brand new account at OANDA. I have it in order to make experiments. I want to tell you something I think is UNACCEPTABLE.

I had a limit sell on cable at 1,9344. Do you know at what price I was filled?

AT 1,9324!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, a slippage of 20 pips.

And I do not know the spread at 14:30cet, cause my main broker is not OANDA. But I've seen the spread on cable at 15 pips. Amazing.

Hi, Kaspirano!!!

I'm really happy you have overcome that nasty situation you told me a few months ago. I feel happy, really.

The key level here, my friend, - I posted that - was 1,2273on USDCHF.

When I post a level and I say is "key", my Indonesian friend, is almost guaranteed that you will see 98% of the time what I say.

A lot of friends here have suggested me to open a chat room to give my live calls and get paid for it. Well, everything has its time. And the time for the chat room has not arrived yet.

 

Hi!!

USDCHF needs to hold above our beloved 1,2273 if it does not want to go down to 1,2204 and 1,2180. If it holds, it will be set to go to 1,2409and 1,2455.

 

Hi!

GBPUSD, while below 1,9548, its way is to 1,9304 - 1,9255and 1,9210. A break of 1,9462 will be the first signal that cable wants to go back up.

 

Hi!!

EURUSD needs to clear 1,3133/49 and 1,3176 in order to turn bullish now. If it does not, next should be 1,2981on its way to 1.2950-1,2906 and 1,2880.
