plus many people are now convinced that twitter can help them make money in the stockmarket. we'll explain. i am ali velshi. this is "real money." this is "real money." you are the most important part of the show. jour our live conversation on twitter. america's job market got off to a slow start this new year. just 113,000 net new jobs were added to the economy last month. a whole lot less than the 194,000 monthly average we saw for all of 2013. many economists say we need 150 to 200,000 net new jobs a month to keep up with the number of new working-age people who enter the economy. let me put it this way: more people reach working age each month than retire or pass away. as you can see on the chart, things started today go south in december when we saw a mere 75,000 jobs added for the economy for the month. now, back then, i said to wait and see what happens in january. two months of disappointing data aren't enough to call a negative trend, but they are worrying. as much as a gas-half-full guy as i am, this is tough to be optimisting about. i look for the good, and there i
