The Ugly Employment Numbers

The following December employment numbers and stock futures were taken off of CNBC TV this morning:

Unemployment Rate = 5%
Number of New Jobs created = 18,000
Average Hourly earnings up 0.4%

I found it interesting that Bush said last night that he will be announcing a stimulus plan in the not too distant future.

US Stock futures are taking a hit, as they are down about 1% across the board.
