This is pretty complicated, but the bottom line seems to be that there wasn't really much good news in Friday's employment report. It just confirmed that people are dropping out of the labor force due to expiration of benefits and lack of opporunity. Also, many are getting jobs, but the pay is not good.

That's my take. How about you?
