It looks like my WAG for March's...
Employment Numbers was off, but my prediction that the previous numbers would be revised downward by a lot was spot on:
U.S Jan. payrolls revised to loss of 741,000 jobs
Don't be surprised if they revise today's numbers down the next time we get this report a month from now...
And where are the revisions to February's numbers?...
My guess is they were so bad, they didn't want to put them out so the market wouldn't dump today...hmmmmm
