More than half the new jobs were in education and health services. The Labor Department will release its closely watched jobs report on Friday, which could tell a different story than the numbers from ADP, the largest player in payroll processing. The nonfarm payroll report showed that the economy added 164,000 jobs last month., which was ahead of the 1% that economists polled by Reuters were expecting. That's nearly a full point higher than what was recorded in June. With those stats increasing, Cramer said he isn't sold that a recession is looming.
"The combination of these positive data points allowed long-term interest rates to shoot higher," he said. "Everyone's worried that long rates are too low — that's the big warning signal that a recession's supposed to be inevitable. When long rates go back up, that tamps down on the slowdown chatter and allows stocks to rally."Disclosure: Cramer's charitable trust owns shares of Amazon, Home Depot, Honeywell and Caterpillar.
