christine romans what does this mean?e sector is hiring more robustly than in recent months. we look at the trend, don, more than 200,000 jobs created on average, we've been seeing 195,000 jobs created month after month. you want to see it more robust than that, no question but that is moving in the right direction. can i show you something that's interesting, here, where we're seeing jobs created, retail jobs almost 24,000 there, wholesale trade, professional business services. look at construction, 48,000 jobs, economists like to see that because those are better paying jobs typically, manufacturing 14,000 jobs there and health care, don, we saw jobs created in health care as well, we've seen that month after month after month, so i would say that you're seeing the private sector jobs, seeing the government sector pull back, lost 10,000 government jobs most likely education related to schools. >> you love your charts and you got to use them. >> i love them. >> stand by, we'll go back to wall street and to alison kosik.

>> christine it's highly unusual.'s the celebrity being stalked by some stranger that we read about in the newspaper, and there's another thing that's unusual here, i was looking at the statistics, although over 3 million americans have been stalked annually according to department of justice statistics, more often than not the stalker is a male, usually almost 90% of the time, believe it or not, despite what you see in the movies the stalker is a male. here the victim allegedly is a male with a stalker a female so this flips the whole phenomena upside down. >> she hasn't been arrested. she's been charged, has to appear in court in april. what is the process going to be like for her? >> she'll be offered an opportunity to plead guilty, possibly resolve it. usually these things are resolved with a restraining order, that sort of thing. you stay away from the person you're allegedly stalking but if she insists oen a trial and says she's innocent, wow, this is going to be a real slugfest because the former boyfriend says

and christine romans is host of "your bottom line."e think it's an old saw we're talking about, entitlements, medicare, medicaid, social security. they do need to be changed and reformed. health care is at the top of the list. >> yeah. i think that members of both parties think that's the case. it's just question of how quickly that happens. right? a lot of the house republicans think that should happen in the next year, that health care costs are out of control. a lot of democrats think you can wait a couple year, let the economy get back on its feet more and make those cults at the end of the next decade. >> that does seem to be -- nancy's outlined it well. i think you've said many times why not come up with a program that says don't tuttcut things now, cut them more later on? why have we not been able to agree on that? >> well, i guess the problem is if you say we're going to do a lot of spending now and don't worry about the budget consequences because in ten years we'll tighten our bell, nobody believes it. there's a feeling you n
