Livestreaming the jobs report

In a new effort, the homepage of CNNMoney.com featured Friday morning a livestream program called Jobs Day in America starting at 8:30 a.m., when the monthly unemployment data were released.

The program will feature financial reporters Paul La Monica, Alison Kosik, Jose Pagliery and special guest Christine Romans. They broke down the report, deciphered what it means and explained the details behind the numbers.

The tagline was “It’s your job. Your wages. Unemployment. It’s the Jobs Report and it’s live streaming on CNNMoney.”

CNNMoney’s producers invadied the newsroom with full gear to stream it live.
