US payrolls up 103,000 in Dec, jobless rate falls

USA-BERNANKE/NEW YORK, Jan 7  (Reuters) – The U.S. economy created far fewer jobs that expected in December, suggesting the Federal Reserve will complete its asset buying program, but the unemployment rate dropped to its lowest in more than 1-1/2 years.

You have a major TYPO. Nothing looks worse than bad grammar in the lead sentence in big print:

“The economy created far fewer jobs THAT expected in December…”

I don’t know that I would call it a major typo, but it was in the lede and it shouldn’t have been, that’s for sure: GBU Editor
