The entire article can be found at http://www.thredgold.com/html/leaf1107.htm l Excerpts from Jeff Thredgold’s Tea Leaf article, “Twice as Many”: The U.S. Department of Labor reported a net rise of 166,000 jobs in October 2007, twice the consensus forecast, and the largest gain in five months. Previously reported employment gains for August and September were revised lower by a total of 10,000 jobs. The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.7% in October, matching September’s rate, and the highest level since July 2006. March’s 4.4% jobless rate matched that of October 2006 as the lowest in more than five years. The average hourly wage rose 0.2% (three cents) to $17.58 hourly, a rise of 3.8% over the past 12 months. The 3.8% rise exceeds the 2.8% rise in the Consumer Price Index for the 12 months ending in September, providing real wage growth. Service-providing employment led the way in September with a rise of 190,000 net new jobs. The professional & business services sector added 65,000 net new jobs during October, while the leisure & hospitality sector added 56,000 jobs. The education & health services sector added 43,000 net new positions, while the government sector added 36,000 jobs. Health care employers have added 400,000 net new jobs in 2007 alone. This latest data now suggests that the U.S. economy added an average of 112,000 net new jobs monthly during the past four months, down 16% from the 134,000 average monthly gain in 2007’s first half, and down 41% from the 189,000 average monthly gain in 2006. We continue to suggest only a 25% chance of a U.S. recession during the next 12 months, with housing’s nationwide turnaround still perhaps a year away. And as a constant, much of the national media will continue to badmouth the economy at every opportunity… Copyright © Dudley & Associates 2007 All Rights Reserved
