When the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the numbers, this morning, on August unemployment, the economics, finance, and political priesthoods will commence digging into the entrails to divine Truth.  There is much to be uncertain about in the future and perhaps these numbers will tell us something about whether the Fed will “taper” or not.  Whether the recent good first-time claims numbers are auguries of better times.  And whether the prospects for the long-time and chronically unemployed might be brightening.  And, who knows, maybe there will be something in the numbers that will point to the eventual winner of this season’s Super Bowl.  (Manning and the Broncos looked formidable last night, against the reigning champs.)
