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?






The days of the multideck headlines I was trained to write are long over.
You'll have to read the article to find out. I suspect it was those
economists who predict such things.

I believe you are missing the overall point Harry.
