Fiveyear lows just moments ago and data at adp, 176,000 jobs last month. All of this as you mentioned before the big jobs report comes out tomorrow morning. This is one to watch as it inches ever closely to that 3 mark. Question is whether investors are ready for it. Bank of england and ecb are stating pat on the key decisions today. Plenty more with simon and the close later on. The road map today begins with the jobs data. Unemployment up while weekly jobless claims fall again. The smartwatch competition has started with both samsung and qualcomm unveiling their first wearable devices. We will have both on the show. Yahoo rolling out the new logo for the First Time Since 2009. And symbolic of many recent changes of the company under the new ceo Marissa Mayer. As if that wasnt enough, jcpenney is talking Martha Stewarts home goods line before a judge even decides the outcome of the threeway licensing battle with macys. And speaking of threeways, bk, brian. Thank you. Its good to be he

When Julissa Gutierrez was appointed New York’s chief diversity officer last summer, she was tasked with registering more MWBEs and reaching the state’s ambitious 30% MWBE contract utilization goal – which New York nearly did, with the state announcing in December that 29.51% of its contracts had been awarded to firms owned by women or minorities in the 2019-2020 fiscal year. An expert on Latino issues and civic engagement, Gutierrez previously held key roles with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund.
