Today, March 6, 2009, all eyes are on the employment report ( or in this case unemployment report ) that will be released at 8:30am est. Estimates are for the US to have lost 650,000 jobs in February 2009. The unemployment rate is thought to have spiked to 7.9% Anything less would rally the market, anything more could still rally the market but if its over 750,000 we might have some problems. I will list the jobs report data here when the numbers are released.
