Question About US unemployment report

Beginner Questions

Hello,

Newbie Question. I was today on the forex calender that the expected US unemployment was 8.7%, but it was only 8.5% and it was red. Wouldnt that be green? Or was it still a bad figure and still bad for the US dollar strength?

Thanks

The red probably just means it came in lower than expected. The system wouldn’t know if that’s good or bad.
