My Not-So-Secret Formula
• Year-Over Percent Change in Nonfarm Jobs.
  – “Year-over” change between one month and the same
    month the previous year. (March 2010 employment
    compared to March 2009 employment).
  – Employment data is current and some of the best data
    around.
  – It’s easy.
  – Available for small areas.
  – Not what the Bureau of Labor publishes in their press
    release—not seasonally adjusted.
Most Importantly. . .

• It works!
• Nationally, when year-
  over growth rates trend
  down and eventually
  result in job loss, there
  has always a recession
  as defined by NBER.
