My own forecast is for 185k on total payrolls and 190k on private payrolls.  I’ve been above consensus in recent months and the consensus has turned out to be a bit low, so we’ll see.

I’ll have first impressions up shortly after the release, about 12 hours from now, assuming the flash traders don’t jam the pipes!
