• The conference board survey of labor conditions (jobs plentiful less jobs hard to get) has been a good leading indicator of payrolls and worsened in December from -28.4 to -35.8.
• The ABC survey also worsened last week despite the further decline in gas prices, suggesting the labor market continues to deteriorate.
