Nobody is a a bit of an exaggeration. Anyone who has been following finance noticed many major US news outlets covering when the job numbers dropped [0]. Yes it was really only covered for a day because the election hype is a bigger story.

Why did nobody talk about the floods in Nepal or mass suicides in Sudan? Clearly we should all be talking about jobs and the US economy!

BLS numbers look pretty boring; Oct was +12000; nothing extreme either way. Am I missing something?

I saw it in several business sections. Is that the the "nobody covering it" part? The numbers a likely due to several one-off occurrences that aren't like to hit semi-perfect status again for a while. No reason given the numbers that it's not a fluke with the history of the previous months.

there was nothing horrific about the jobs report. It was bad news, but we get bad news everyday.
