  1. It may not be apparent as one is sipping beverages oceanfront on a sunny island, but the eastern half of the US had great weather in January outside a few cold days, with no winter storms to speak of. Normally when that happens we get a pop in the Jan/Feb numbers, as the seasonal algorithms do not take that into account, and we give the jobs back in the Spring. The 25k pop in construction jobs in a category that has been flat-lining is certainly a clue. From DC to Boston was 6 degrees above normal. Also note those regions were leaders in the Fed Manufacturing Index surveys and the ISM PMI which tracks the surveys well.
