We should all regard BLS data with caution these days, even the poor results.

U.S. vehicle sales fell to a $16 million annual rate in September, well below the expected $16.6 million rate and the lowest sales rate since February.

New US factory orders were little changed in August from July, which was a fast slowing, but what was expected.

However, they are now 8.8% higher than August a year ago following gains earlier in the year.
