This one is employment in the transportation sector.

As DJTs is sensitive to economic factors, another way to view it besides price is looking at the employment in the transporation sector (this is actually trade/transporation/utilities).

Another is looking at the health of our construction employment..

Here's where its still very strong.. financial activites. No wonder with all the mega mergers, acquisitions, refis from bank growth..

Then there's the retail services.. despite all the consumer consumption, they're apparently not expanding hiring of people the last several years.

On that note, you should see this video from thomson financial with their outlook for 2007.

I want to emphasize their INSIDER activity of 4th quarter, 2006 which they (being extremely bullish) believe will be a drag on techs and large caps for 1st quarter 2007.
