input question: W: It certainly is. It was a great report. It indicates that the job market, broadly speaking, has turned the corner after 3 very long, lean years. I think we are going to see improvement. It's not only the March gain. It was gain in January and February. They were both revised higher, and moreover, the job gains were very broadly-based across many industries. It was a very positive report. M: What do you see in the numbers? Who's getting the new jobs? W: As I mentioned, when we looked at the numbers, "we are seeing employment across the board in all sectors, with one important exception, and that's in manufacturing. Well, we do not have any job loss in manufacturing sector for the first time in 44 months. We did not see pick up in the manufacturing sector, but we saw restaurant and hotel workers being added on. We saw workers in supermarket being added on. Part of that reflects the settlement of the grocery stores strike out California. We saw workers in the health care sector and hospitals being added on. We saw business services adding employees. So in general, with the very important exception of manufacturing, we are seeing job growth across all of these different types of occupations.

[Q]: Dentist: But I haven't touched you yet. What are you shouting for? Patient: You are going to touch me. Dentist: Well, of course I am. How can I give you an injection without touching you. As soon as you've had the injection your gum will freeze and you won't feel a thing. Patient: How do I know what you will do while I am asleep? You might rob me. Dentist: Now let's not be silly. You won't go to sleep. We don't do that nowadays. This will just freeze the area around the tooth so that you cannot feel any pain while I am pulling out the tooth. That is all. You won't go to sleep. You can watch everything in that mirror above you. Come along now. What was said before this conversation?
