Looming Jobs Report is of No Concern for Junior UGA Student




                     Although many people are eager for the release Friday morning of the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment rate report for March, Junior University of Georgia student John Fowler is not among them.
                   In an interview at the Student Learning Center Monday morning, the economics major, who has secured an internship with Sen. Saxby Chambliss in Washington D.C, said “because I am still over a year away from graduating, I still think I have some time before I worry about the state of the economy."
                   But even if Fowler was fast-forwarded to this time next year, he still says he wouldn’t care to discover the numbers from the report stating, “whether I read the statistics or I don’t, I still am going to work very hard to secure a job after graduating. 
            He  continued, "No numbers, good or bad, are going to affect how well I interview or how proactive I am in searching.”
                   For those who are awaiting the 8:30 a.m. release of the CPS, many will be focusing on whether the data will support Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke’s cautious predictions about growth.
