By popular demand…

Guess the REVISION to the January non-farm payrolls figure to be released this Friday, March  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.

Please note there are separate threads for the February figure and for the January revision…

Payroll pool opens for business

Sorry we’re late in getting the pool going. Guess the non-farm payroll number and win a very rare ForexLive tee-shirt. They are so rare, they do not yet exist, something we hope to rectify very soon.

Put your guess in the comment section to this post. Once a number has been used, it is unavailable. Good luck!
