Monday, April 2nd
- 83rd day of the legislative session, the Constitutional target for passing the state budget. If (as now seems likely) the FY 2013 budget is not finalized, the Governor will issue a proclamation extending the session beyond the usual 90 days, during which the legislature could only work on the budget. This year, that will be a formality. We expect the budget process to conclude before April 9th, the last day of the regular session.

- BLS updates the national employment situation. In February the national unemployment rate was 8.3 percent, unchanged from the month before but down 7/10ths of a percent from February 2011. Encouragingly, February also saw an increase in employment for the eighth straight month.
