getting. 54,000 jobs were lost nationwide over the past month. that's a much better number than expected. i'm always cautious to use positive language when 54,000 people have lost their jobs. the truth is that's better than economists expected. we do expect the unemployment number to bounce around like this as more people come in to looking for jobs. as they come into the job market but don't have jobs, then they become unemployed when they weren't before. so the fact that the number goes up does not have to be alarming. we are still definitely in recovery where we need to see a lot more jobs. but in many ways we can interpret this number as positive. brent? >> thanks. the documentary movie about the life and death of san jose native pat tillman debuts in the bay area today.
