RALLY ON THE JOBS NUMBERS?

Jobs Report: Behind the Numbers- Daniel Gross, Y! Finance
The metrics in the report, particularly from the household survey component, remain pathetic: an unemployment rate of 9.1 percent, 6.2 million people employed for more than 27 weeks, an employment-population ratio at an anemic 58.3 percent.

"better than expected"  sure......Some segments are being percolated by historic low rates, but even worse than 2003-2007 the effect on avg American is miniscule and a jobless recovery it is.

Under the conditions I montior, I cannot see this as a continuation of BULL MKT, but more a bounce in a new Bear Mkt, I am hoping I am wrong. But under the numbers, the hype and daily news related rallies is a whole heap of PAIN.
