Default OT--Can you match the headline to the news organization?

Both articles were reporting on the same news released by www.bls.gov.

One headline is from the NY Times...and the other was from AP. Can you
guess which is which?


1) U.S. Economy Adds Fewer Jobs Than Expected in October (NYT or AP?)

2) Payrolls Expand in Oct.; Jobless Rate Dips (NYT or AP?)


"A" is the correct headline, as economists were predicting three times the
number reported.


There is no "A". The choices were #1 or #2.

And #2 is more accurate. It reports on a quantitative event.

#1 is subjective. When they include the words "...than expected", by whom do
they mean?
