CNBC reports the jobs report is "significantly worse than expected" -- CNBCUnemployment rate drops to 7.2% from 7.3% but the jobs report was horrifying: the US added only 148,000 jobs in the reporting period. The report was delayed due to the so-called government shutdown so I don't know what period we are talking about. Again, the analysts were surprised.
