Younger and Minority Workers Lead Wage Gains as Expansion Ages
Oct. 17, 2019, 8:59 AM
A tightening labor market with U.S. unemployment rate at a 50-year low is starting to result in higher wages for full-time workers, including younger people and minorities whose pay has lagged.
Median weekly earnings for Americans in the third quarter rose 3.6% to $919, outpacing inflation, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. Earnings for those aged 25 to 54, in their prime working years, rose by 5%, the fastest rate of growth in recent years.

Record-low black unemployment cheered by black activists
Published 1 month ago on September 9, 2019
[...]
“Love him or hate him, this is an incredible economic accomplishment for the President and a tremendous benefit for American blacks,” said Project 21 member Derryck Green.
Along with a reported third straight month of 3.7 percent overall unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) August jobs report noted that the overall black unemployment rate fell half-a-percent to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. BLS began reporting employment statistics by race in 1972. And with overall white unemployment at 3.4 percent, it is also the smallest reported gap between the races ever in terms of joblessness. Until recently, the racial employment disparity between blacks and whites has generally held to a 2-1 margin.

America Created 266,000 Jobs in November
JOHN CARNEY 6 Dec 2019
The imaginary recession of 2019 is over.
The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years.
Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.
Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.
[...]
Average hourly wages are up 3.14 percent compared with last year, above economist expectations. In manufacturing, the average workweek increased by 0.1 hour to 40.5 hours. Average hourly ages of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 7 cents in the month to $23.83, a 0.22 percent gain.

The November hiring surge pushed incomes for Americans higher last month.
by JOHN CARNEY
20 Dec 2019
Incomes rose by half a percentage point in November, above economists’ forecasts and much better than the soft readings in September and October. This was the strongest gain since July, according to data from the Commerce Department on Friday.
Consumer spending rose at a 0.4 percent annual rate last month, led by a jump in spending on big-ticket durable goods like autos and appliances.
The higher spending is not due to rising prices. Inflation, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred price indicator, is still running well below the Fed’s 2 percent target. It came in at just 1.5 percent for November compared with a year ago.
And despite the rise in consumer spending, Americans are saving more. The saving rate edged up to 7.9 percent of after-tax income in November.

US-China phase 1 trade deal: Beijing agrees to buy $200 billion in US products
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
11 hrs ago [Jan 16. 2020]
China has agreed to buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products from the United States as part of their "phase one" trade deal.
The agreement signed Wednesday will have Beijing purchase an additional $200 billion of US goods and services over the next two years.
The increase in purchases will be compared to 2017, before the trade war started. China imported over $185 billion in total US goods and services that year.
In exchange, Washington has agreed to reduce tariffs on $120 billion in Chinese products from 15% to 7.5%.
Taken together, the phased purchases by China would result in a dramatic surge in US exports. Total exports to China would increase to over $260 billion in 2020, and roughly $310 billion in 2021 if the deal holds

America Created 266,000 Jobs in November
JOHN CARNEY 6 Dec 2019
The imaginary recession of 2019 is over.
The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years.
Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.
Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.

Average hourly wages are up 3.14 percent compared with last year, above economist expectations. In manufacturing, the average workweek increased by 0.1 hour to 40.5 hours.

The November hiring surge pushed incomes for Americans higher last month.
by JOHN CARNEY
20 Dec 2019
Incomes rose by half a percentage point in November, above economists’ forecasts and much better than the soft readings in September and October. This was the strongest gain since July, according to data from the Commerce Department on Friday.
Consumer spending rose at a 0.4 percent annual rate last month, led by a jump in spending on big-ticket durable goods like autos and appliances.
The higher spending is not due to rising prices. Inflation, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred price indicator, is still running well below the Fed’s 2 percent target. It came in at just 1.5 percent for November compared with a year ago.
And despite the rise in consumer spending, Americans are saving more. The saving rate edged up to 7.9 percent of after-tax income in November.

The U.S. manufacturing sector appears to be regaining its footing, suggesting the beaten-down sector may once again be expanding.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s survey-based index of manufacturing activity soared to 17 in January, up from the weak 0.3 reading in December and well-above forecasts for a reading of 3.0.

Merry Christmas: Retail Sales Grew at Healthy Pace in December
16 Jan 2020
Retail sales rose at a healthy pace in December, a sign that a very healthy U.S. labor market and consumer optimism is continuing to support economic growth.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales–which measures sales at stores, online, and in restaurants–increased a seasonally adjusted three-tenths of a percentage point in December compared with November to $529.6 billion. That was in line with the consensus forecast.

US-China phase 1 trade deal: Beijing agrees to buy $200 billion in US products
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
11 hrs ago [Jan 16. 2020]
China has agreed to buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products from the United States as part of their "phase one" trade deal.
The agreement signed Wednesday will have Beijing purchase an additional $200 billion of US goods and services over the next two years.
The increase in purchases will be compared to 2017, before the trade war started. China imported over $185 billion in total US goods and services that year.
In exchange, Washington has agreed to reduce tariffs on $120 billion in Chinese products from 15% to 7.5%.
Taken together, the phased purchases by China would result in a dramatic surge in US exports. Total exports to China would increase to over $260 billion in 2020, and roughly $310 billion in 2021 if the deal holds

Younger and Minority Workers Lead Wage Gains as Expansion Ages
Oct. 17, 2019, 8:59 AM
A tightening labor market with U.S. unemployment rate at a 50-year low is starting to result in higher wages for full-time workers, including younger people and minorities whose pay has lagged.
Median weekly earnings for Americans in the third quarter rose 3.6% to $919, outpacing inflation, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. Earnings for those aged 25 to 54, in their prime working years, rose by 5%, the fastest rate of growth in recent years.

Record-low black unemployment cheered by black activists
Published 1 month ago on September 9, 2019
[...]
“Love him or hate him, this is an incredible economic accomplishment for the President and a tremendous benefit for American blacks,” said Project 21 member Derryck Green.
Along with a reported third straight month of 3.7 percent overall unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) August jobs report noted that the overall black unemployment rate fell half-a-percent to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. BLS began reporting employment statistics by race in 1972. And with overall white unemployment at 3.4 percent, it is also the smallest reported gap between the races ever in terms of joblessness. Until recently, the racial employment disparity between blacks and whites has generally held to a 2-1 margin.

Median weekly earnings for Americans in the third quarter rose 3.6% to $919, outpacing inflation, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. Earnings for those aged 25 to 54, in their prime working years, rose by 5%, the fastest rate of growth in recent years.

Along with a reported third straight month of 3.7 percent overall unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) August jobs report noted that the overall black unemployment rate fell half-a-percent to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. BLS began reporting employment statistics by race in 1972. And with overall white unemployment at 3.4 percent, it is also the smallest reported gap between the races ever in terms of joblessness. Until recently, the racial employment disparity between blacks and whites has generally held to a 2-1 margin.

America Created 266,000 Jobs in November
JOHN CARNEY 6 Dec 2019
The imaginary recession of 2019 is over.
The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years.
Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.
Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.

The November hiring surge pushed incomes for Americans higher last month.
by JOHN CARNEY
20 Dec 2019
Incomes rose by half a percentage point in November, above economists’ forecasts and much better than the soft readings in September and October. This was the strongest gain since July, according to data from the Commerce Department on Friday.
Consumer spending rose at a 0.4 percent annual rate last month, led by a jump in spending on big-ticket durable goods like autos and appliances.
The higher spending is not due to rising prices. Inflation, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred price indicator, is still running well below the Fed’s 2 percent target. It came in at just 1.5 percent for November compared with a year ago.
And despite the rise in consumer spending, Americans are saving more. The saving rate edged up to 7.9 percent of after-tax income in November.

US-China phase 1 trade deal: Beijing agrees to buy $200 billion in US products
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
11 hrs ago [Jan 16. 2020]
China has agreed to buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products from the United States as part of their "phase one" trade deal.
The agreement signed Wednesday will have Beijing purchase an additional $200 billion of US goods and services over the next two years.
The increase in purchases will be compared to 2017, before the trade war started. China imported over $185 billion in total US goods and services that year.
In exchange, Washington has agreed to reduce tariffs on $120 billion in Chinese products from 15% to 7.5%.
Taken together, the phased purchases by China would result in a dramatic surge in US exports. Total exports to China would increase to over $260 billion in 2020, and roughly $310 billion in 2021 if the deal holds

Finland's Prime Minister Juha Sipilä resigned Friday morning, one month ahead of an election.
"The social welfare and health care reform was one of our government's most important objectives," Sipilä said at a press briefing. "The snapshot of the situation that I got from the parliament obliged me to examine if there was a possibility of continuing the reform process. There wasn't."

Show me why he deserves any respect at all.And when Trump says "grab 'em by the pussy" it should be respected? Your boy is a loathesome creature. He is unworthy of respect.The thinnest rationale seems to be the only rationale for Trumpians. Do you proffer this as proof Trump is an honorable man?
I offer it as proof that libs just say shit, and nothing they say should be given any respect or consideration.
Respect is a reciprocal quality. One must show it in order to receive it.
Actually, an older man bragging to much younger men, about his sexual escapades?
No, I have no "respect" for that. His words have very little credibility in that situation.
Indeed, especially considering his well know and excessive use of hyperbole.
But libs, everything they say is shit.
He saw and decided to speak out for a group that had long been ignored by politicians and policy, a group that deserved some representation of their interests, after a long time of taking one for the team.

These are not things a respectable POTUS would ever do. There's no way he can garner any respect from people who are not under his huckster, pro wrestling hex. I'm waiting for November or a latter day Lee Harvey to step up and do the right thing.
BTW - that will establish the Pence theocracy, so I’m game.

Brainwashed chumps of the greedy idiot GOP rich? all he had to do to take over the GOP was b white and parrot the garbage propagandaGive me one unambiguous reason to respect the turd in the White House. Show me why he deserves any respect at all.And when Trump says "grab 'em by the pussy" it should be respected? Your boy is a loathesome creature. He is unworthy of respect.I offer it as proof that libs just say shit, and nothing they say should be given any respect or consideration.
Respect is a reciprocal quality. One must show it in order to receive it.
Actually, an older man bragging to much younger men, about his sexual escapades?
No, I have no "respect" for that. His words have very little credibility in that situation.
Indeed, especially considering his well know and excessive use of hyperbole.
But libs, everything they say is shit.
He saw and decided to speak out for a group that had long been ignored by politicians and policy, a group that deserved some representation of their interests, after a long time of taking one for the team.
There were 17 candidates in the primary.
First point, shove your race baiting back up your asshole, you fucktard. FUck you.
Second point, there were real policy differences between the candidates. It is completely understandable that you missed that, as you weren't going to vote for any of them, but you are shooting your mouth of on a topic you know nothing about then, and making yourself look like a retard.
Third point. Trump in that field, spoke out for the interests of the working class and middle class Americans. And the republican base flocked to him.

of course I watched it and I know a hell of a lot more about Republicans than you do. A bigger bunch of schmucks you could hardly imagine. Trump at least is a real person even if he is a narcissistic con man fraud. He was the only one that went on and on about lock her up the Iran deal was a fraud, global warming is a total hoax, the rich are paying too much in taxes etc etc. No one can make total garbage propaganda sound better among Republicans. Try and remain calm LOL. By the way everything he said about helping the middle class infrastructure etc was total b*******, super duper. even now he says he will protect pre-existing conditions etc while he is at the same time leading lawsuits that will end it. Pure idiocy for the dupes like you....Brainwashed chumps of the greedy idiot GOP rich? all he had to do to take over the GOP was b white and parrot the garbage propagandaGive me one unambiguous reason to respect the turd in the White House.

1. YOu race bait, you are being an asshole. My responding appropriately is not me being not "calm" but simply me treating you with the contempt you have earned. So, shove your gaslighting up your ass to, you fucktard.
2. So, you watched the primaries? Than your claim that all he had to do was "parrot the garbage propaganda" was you being a fucking moron.
