I wish I had some more time to break this down (traveling), but the headline AND details do look strong at first glance. The WSJ agrees:The top-line numbers in Friday's big jobs looked pretty good. So do the details. Temporary help services rose 52,000. The average workweek ticked up from 33.0 to 33.2. Average hourly earnings edged up 0.1%. And the U6, the broadest measure of unemployment dropped from 17.5% to 17.2%. All forward leaning signs of improvement.
