Combine this with GDP growth of 2.9% last quarter, and uhhhh things seem good?

 

Yes, but so few people out of work means greater competition for the available workers which means higher wages which eats into corporate profits and we just can't have that.

The GDP number is pretty much the flip side of the recession of earlier this year. Mostly a product of the trade deficit shrinking, which is pretty inconsequential to the broader economy.

The stock market was basically flat by the close, but initially dropped because the report indicates the job market is still fairly strong and the Fed is trying to tap the brakes to bring about price stability. That could means more rate hikes and a longer period of time that rates are left high.

Just keep this bear market going so I can keep buying discounts.
