The Majority Expects a Stronger Than Expected Jobs Number

by Bespoke Investment Group

Yesterday we asked Bespoke readers whether they thought this morning's Non Farm Payrolls report would come in higher or lower than the estimate of 196,000.  As shown below, nearly 60% (58.4%) of participants said the report will come in stronger than expected, while 41.6% said it would come in weaker than expected.  There's also a cool map that shows where the votes are coming in from.  The results are mixed for most of the country, but voters in south Texas and Louisianna seem pretty down on the number, while voters in the states right in the middle of the country are all expecting a strong number.
