Despite a shortened week due to the Memorial Day holiday investors will have plenty of economic data to mull, not least the May jobs report out Friday.
Key housing and consumer data is also on tap.But everything else is just leading up to the jobs numbers. The last two reports have been disappointing, effectively taking the steam out of any broader economic recovery hoped for in 2012.For three straight months – December, January and February – the U.S. added over 200,000 jobs, leading to optimism that the long-dormant economy was turning around.
