I attach low importance to

these monthly even quarterly employment/unemployment/consumptions/GDPs etc.

The US economy will not have any real sustainable recovery within a few years. The damages have been done over the last few decades, and the system lacks any will power to make corrective moves.  The coming US economic and monetary implosion is a given.

Buy gold, and quality gold stocks, and sit on them.  You will not regret.

Trust me.
