Payrolls contest open for business

Guess the non-farm payrolls figure from this Friday, February 5 and you will win a luxurious ForexLive tee-shirt. The first person to choose a number (to the nearest thousand please. That’s the way the government reports it…) gets owner ship of that number. Duplicate an earlier submission and you are automatically disqualified.

All entries must accompany THIS post and no other.

Good luck!.
