New Jobs130,000, unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%, labor force participation rate rose to 63.2 percent.

Average hourly earnings increased by 0.4% in August and 3.2% over the year, better than expected.

I am sure you will read lots of negative stories about this job growth (because the consensus was closer to 160K). Either way, an increase in participation and an unemployment rate of 3.7% are both phenomenally good news.

It's going to be difficult to see our economy fall into a recession as long as we continue with what is pretty much considered "full employment". It simply doesn't get much lower than 3.7% - they say on any average day there are approximately 3-4% of the population who are in between jobs by choice.

At the end of the day, if the American public is working, then the American public is spending money, and if the American public is spending money the economy will continue to perform well.

What's not working is the rate of growth in student debt. This is obviously funding lavish life styles for college elites and liberals. What happened in 2008 that started such a huge increase in a trend that was already outpacing inflation?

A bigger failure than Obamacare... and while we need to reign this in we should try to get relief from the very people who reaped the benefit of these runaway costs, colleges and their staffs.

Job growth continued at a tepid pace in August, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by just 130,000 thanks in large part to the temporary hiring of Census workers, the Labor Department reported Friday.

The increase fell short of Wall Street estimates for 150,000, while the unemployment rate stayed at 3.7%, as expected. An alternative measure of the jobless rate, which includes discouraged and underemployed workers, increased to 7.2% from 7% in July, due mainly to a 397,000 increase in those working part-time for economic reasons.

Wage growth remained solid, with average hourly earnings increasing by 0.4% for the month and 3.2% over the year; both numbers were one-tenth of a percentage point better than expected.


Labor force participation also increased, rising to 63.2% and tying its highest level since August 2013. The total number of Americans considered employed surged by 590,000 to a record 157.9 million, according to the household survey, which is conducted separately from the headline establishment count.

The difference between the two surveys inspired some optimism.


"If we weren't already talking about recession risk and already looking for signs of a slowdown, we wouldn't start today because of this jobs report," said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.

"On balance, I come down on the optimistic side. I think it's a pretty good jobs report," Clemons added.

Similarly, Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that aside from the weak headline establishment count, "the rest of the employment report was actually quite positive."

With the previous June and July reports revised lower as well, monthly job growth in the U.S. has slowed to just 158,000, compared with 223,000 per month a year ago.

The decline comes amid concerns that the U.S. economy is slowing and perhaps even heading for recession. While consumers remain strong, agriculture and manufacturing have declined as the U.S. engages in a protracted tariff battle with China.


On the labor front, August's trends showed more slowness.

The biggest gains for the month came from professional and business services at 37,000 and the federal government, which added 28,000 workers ahead of the 2020 population count. Health care contributed 24,000 to the total while financial services increased by 15,000.

Despite otherwise strong retail indicators, the sector saw a net decline in workers of 11,100. Trade, transportation and utilities also lost 11,000 jobs, and mining and logging lost 5,000 positions.

Excluding government hiring, private payrolls grew by just 96,000, the lowest pace since February.

.S. factory orders rise for second straight month in July

Factory orders rose 1.4% in July, for the second straight monthly gain, the Commerce Department said Thursday. The increase was led by volatile civilian aircraft orders, primarily BoeingBA, +0.40% Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a 1.2% increase. Orders in the prior month were revised to a 0.5% gain from the prior estimate of 0.6%. Durable goods orders rose 2% in July, revised down slightly from last week's initial estimate of a 2.1% gain. Orders for nondurable goods rose 0.8%. Core factory orders, excluding defense goods and civilian aircraft, rose a revised 0.2% in July, down from the initial estimate of a 0.4% gain. Shipments of core goods fell 0.6% in July."

Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 11 cents to $28.11, or 0.4 percent, following 9-cent gains in both June and July. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 3.2 percent. In August, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 11 cents to $23.59."

it was worse than watching soccer

cowardly king obama said...

I actually watched most of it after pretty much watching none last year.

I decided either the Packers have a great defense or the Bears have a terrible offense or both.

I also propose a rule change where no game proceeds to overtime unless both teams have scored 13 points or more. And this result would give both teams no points in the standings.

Like soccer I think the inly thing worse would be deciding games by progressively longer field goal attempts, like the penalty kick ending.

‘Coal Is Not Back’

Cecil Roberts, the president of United Mine Workers of America, said that the coal industry is not “back,” despite President Trump’s claims, CNN reports.

Said Roberts: “Coal’s not back. Nobody saved the coal industry.”

He added that coal-fired plants are closing all over the country, calling it a “harsh reality.”

Trump Insisted to Fox News He Was Right on Alabama

President Trump called Fox News correspondent John Roberts into the Oval Office to justify his claim that Hurricane Dorian could hit Alabama, CNN reports.

Roberts’ analysis of the meeting in internal emails was that Trump was “just looking for acknowledgment that he was not wrong for saying that at some point, Alabama was at risk — even if the situation had changed by the time he issued the tweet” on Sunday morning, in which he said the state “will most likely be hit.”

Trump also provided Roberts with graphics to make his points.

“We’re not forecasting or expecting a recession,” he said. “The most likely outlook is still moderate growth, a strong labor market and inflation continuing to move back up.”

“Our main expectation is not at all that there will be a recession,” Powell said.

The U.S. economy added a disappointing 130,000 jobs in August, the Labor Department said Friday, heightening fears that President Trump’s trade war is starting to bite.

The jobs report has taken on greater significance as concerns grow that the U.S. economy has entered a rough patch. Economists had predicted 160,000 job gains in August, but anemic hiring in manufacturing, mining, truck driving and retail — industries that are most directly affected by the trade war — helped drag employment gains down this summer.

The hiring slowdown comes as broader economic growth has cooled this year. The manufacturing sector is in a recession, and businesses have stopped spending, largely as a result of headwinds from abroad and Trump’s trade battles. But the U.S. economy is driven primarily by consumer spending, and so far, that remains strong as workers continue to get pay raises and see “we’re hiring” signs in front of many businesses.
