 * Unemployment **

This video is more about financial markets than unemployment, but see how quickly the stock and bond markets react when the US employment﻿ data comes out on 8 July 2011 and jobs growth (of 18,000 jobs) is well below market expectations (of about 100,000). Almost instantly, the Dow Jones amd S&P500 stock indices fall by 1% and the 10-year and 5-year bond yields fall by 8 to 10 basis ponts (0.08% to 0.1%).
