Jobs Report 11/07/08 - Unemployment Rate for October

When are the next Jobs number and Unemployment rate data going to be released? The answer is Friday, November 7th, 2008. Mark this date on your calendars because this Jobs report and Unemployment rate number are going to be ugly. The question is, when will the markets start pricing in this data or is it already priced in? In September we saw the United States lose 159,000 jobs with the unemployment rate spiking to 6.1%. Stocks plunged on this news and we started a steep decline.

Some analysts estimate that the employment number is going to be -200,000+ jobs lost and the unemployment rate could hit 6.5% or higher. If the data we get on 11/07/08 is really bad, you could see massive panic and another downturn. Donald Trump thinks we are going into the second Depression.
