4:40 pm
how do you measure that? >> we look at the number of folks that reported that they did not report to work because of the weather. it is always high in december so or 20k back at the 20 five year average. it was 150,000 higher this december than the 20 five year average. there were weather effects in this report. those weather effects are going to come off next month and you'll get revisions. >> what amazes me, back to the numbers. there was a time when we were adding and it has happened multiple times throughout our economy since we have not seen it in a while. 441,000 jobs in month >> a long time ago. -- in a month. >> a long time ago. this economy is operating on a different metric. one of the interesting points of this report everyone is looking at is the drop in the participation rate. if you look at the demographic, the country had a thousand people a day who become qualified for senior benefits.

4:42 pm
payrolls? >> the argument there is if you are per -- a proponent of extending benefits it keeps those marginally attached in the labor market. they do not have to accept lower positions. y stay in the labor force. >> you get rid of those benefits and you have those workers to get jobs but you have some of those workers that drop out of the labor market altogether. you might end up seeing large fluctuations in the and of limited rate that are unexpected. the fed is dealing with the conundrum. their rate policy guidance to the unemployed rate. and general labor market conditions. they backed off of that threshold because the unemployment rate is falling. >> very fast. >> i had the inner -- dinner with neil last night. are gettingople who paid more in benefits than if they went out and got a job. they made the intelligence
