Time flies by and after the August disappointment most traders are ready for the September figure which I think will give us more of the same disappointing data. I think we will see downward revisions to the August data and that September will come in between 120K and 150K.

As far as unemployment rate I think it won’t really matter at all and we could see a drop to 7.2% as more unemployed gave up looking for a job or if we tick up to 7.4%. I do expect the quality of jobs created to be of poor quality and that the long-term unemployed struggle further.

Those are just my guesses on the figure, on Friday we will get the actual report and knee-reactions. Regardless of what the figures may look like it should be a very opportunistic day to trade.

Looks like we may not get it today, but in the end who knows. I share your opinion that it will disappoint, but not sure about how big the downward revisions will be if any.
