Actually I am. I have received 3 job offers in the past 3 weeks from companies wishing to hire me away from my current job. And similar things have been happening to my peers. While it hasn't gotten crazy (like during the dot com boom), I took it as a sign that companies were definitely expanding their payrolls.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Yes but this is US payrolls. Not thec payrolls. Machines and robots are taking many jobs and also we are in the 13th year of the 10 year curve. Employers and corporations are somewhat careful because the economy, if we look at the last 100 years, is suppossed to come to a halt soon enough. But nobody know when.
Just let the interest rates go up and the economy ll start to slow down.

But hey, the unemployment rate went down to 5.2%. That's the only news that counts for some here.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Yes, but for the non-innumerate:
Our best estimates for growth in working population per month is about 150,000
Net Payrolls only went up 110,000
True unemployment must have increased by 40,000“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Believe it or not, I think I have enough money. What I really want is a reduction in my travel schedule.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
