Jan employment
Quick take on this morning's employment numbers:
Good news: unemployment rate drops in January, payrolls up by 193,000
Not so good news: 55% of those jobs in just three industries: construction - up 46 million jobs; health care - up 29 million jobs; food and drinking establishments - up 31 million jobs.
None of those are export earning. Nor are they necessarily high-wage (health care has both high and low wage jobs).
