Since late 2003 good news from the marketplace has been a regular attraction for houses billing. This morning's collection of numbers settles any questions left from a heartening Gross Domestic Product revision ten days ago. While non-farm payroll employment missed estimates by about twenty-five percent, April's and May's figures have upon correction increased by about twenty-two and seven percent respectively — lifting the steadily accumulating payroll gross for the last two years to 3.7 million. Unemployment has fallen another tenth of a percentage point to 5%, and other indicators match the high note from yesterday's factory order report.
Wall Street has responded to the economic advisory with the investor's equivalent of a three-minute, whammy-bar, Bach-rock, jump-from-the-top-of-the-Marshall-stack-through-dry-ice guitar solo.
