That's pretty close to "unexpected."

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls increasing 185,000 last month and the unemployment rate to hold steady at 6.7 percent.

But there was a silver lining in the report. The unemployment rate dropped a tenth of a percentage point to 6.6 percent last month, the lowest since October 2008.


Makes no fricking sense... So the analyst predicted 75k more jobs than there actually were and for unemployment to hold steady, yet it actually goes down.

What won't be unexpected will be in a few days one of the resident Libs will slide in and use the unemployment figures as a glowing example of Obama "winning".
