This report looks solid through and through.

What's the labor participation rate? What would the unemployment rate be under the system used to calculate it in 2008?

Participation rate?

Most of the number were just released on Bloomberg. Still waiting on the participation rate to come out.

The so-called participation rate, which indicates the share of the working-age people in the labor force, held at 62.8 percent.

Summer of recovery. Hopefully for real this time and not just politics.

What about Benghazi?

It's amazing how times have changed when a 6.1% print is considered good.

Time to get my short positions in the cue.

5% is just about ideal
The participation rate still blows but it's getting closer. The S&P might break 2000 today for the first time (I think).

Well, "good" here is a relative term.

With the ADP report and the improving employment signs seen in other recent reports such as ISM, I wouldn't be surprised to see the market open higher but close red by the end of the session. Most of this should have been priced in with the recent rally.

In the old market paradigm this would hold true. However in the current paradigm of endless QE, no. If this is a sign that the Fed will stop the printing presses the market will tank.

it's like how everyone gets excited when gas drops below $3/gallon

The Fed would have continued winding down QE regardless. More interesting will be to see what the market does when a rate hike starts looking like a near-term reality.
