All eyes are on the Department of Labor’s monthly jobs report, scheduled to be released this morning. Economists predict the report will show small gains in the jobs market – between 40,000 and 70,000. But they are concerned that if job creation numbers are too low, the overall unemployment rate could still rise — making the report an indicator that the economy could be heading for a “double-dip” back into recession.
