This morning I went to work via the gym. I try to head there before work on Mon, Wed and Fri to take care of my physical well being. I’ve been getting a bit bored with the same run of country music on my iPod Shuffle so lately I’ve taken to loading podcasts on topics ranging from real estate and investing to self-improvement. It’s a buy one get one free sale at the gym now, a mental workout for the same low price of punishing my body.
Enough about my workout, except to say that while I was on my back at the bench press, trying to not let the barbell land on my face, I was listening to a discussion on the recent jobs report that came out Friday, April 4th. I found that discussion interesting and it got me thinking about unemployment and whether things were really as bad as the media portrays. So I decided I’d dig a little deeper into the jobs report and unemployment data and share what I learn with you here on Minding My Own Business. I read some of the articles on the internet including this one at the NY Times, and spent some time routing through the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website.
