The labor force continues its magical shrinking path, leading to ever lower unemployment rate even as job gains are quite punk.   Futures jerked down but not horribly…originally -0.5% but now -0.2%.  Expectations seemed to drop quite a bit this week.  The top of the Apple jobs gap is 1385ish area which will be important today.  QE3 continues to be in our flight path…

Participation rate 63.6%….
