Job Growth
Politics Nation March 11, 2010 The Politics Of Unemployment Excerpts: The release of the monthly unemployment report has spawned something of a ritual of late in Washington. Within minutes of the number being made public, statements come from Republicans and Democrats alike. White House advisers then offer their spin, followed by an on-camera statement from the president himself. All of this is done with an eye toward November, knowing that the state of the economy is bound to be a top concern. The release of state-by-state data has been considerably less choreographed. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued the latest 50-state results Wednesday to little fanfare. But for state leaders, especially those looking for new terms in November, the numbers are just as vital for their political fortunes. And a close look at the data in many cases explains the political peril some governors are in. Overall, 30 states saw unemployment rate increases from December to January, compared to just nine states that saw decreases. Very few changed by more than a few tenths of a percent in either direction. But in all 50 states, the number of unemployed workers was higher in January 2010 than it was in January 2009. READ MORE Politics Nation THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- FEBRUARY 2010 Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed (-36,000) in February, and theunemployment rate held at 9.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statisticsreported today. Go To BLS Full Bureau of Labor Statistics Report Employment fell in construction and information, while tem-porary help services added jobs. Severe winter weather in parts of thecountry may have affected payroll employment and hours; however, it is notpossible to quantify precisely the net impact of the winter storms on thesemeasures. For more information on the effects of the severe weather on employ-ment estimates, see the box note at the end of the release. Household Survey Data In February, the number of unemployed persons, at 14.9 million, was essen-tially unchanged, and the unemployment rate remained at 9.7 percent. (Seetable A-1.) Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (10.0 per-cent), adult women (8.0 percent), whites (8.8 percent), blacks (15.8 percent),Hispanics (12.4 percent), and teenagers (25.0 percent) showed little to nochange in February. The jobless rate for Asians was 8.4 percent, not season-ally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.) The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was6.1 million in February and has been about that level since December. About 4in 10 unemployed persons have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more. (Seetable A-12.) In February, the civilian labor force participation rate (64.8 percent) andthe employment-population ratio (58.5 percent) were little changed. (Seetable A-1.) The number of persons working part time for economic reasons (sometimes refer-red to as involuntary part-time workers) increased from 8.3 to 8.8 million inFebruary, partially offsetting a large decrease in the prior month. These in-dividuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or be-cause they were unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.) About 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force inFebruary, an increase of 476,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not sea-sonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted andwere available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched forwork in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-16.) Among the marginally attached, there were 1.2 million discouraged workers inFebruary, up by 473,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally ad-justed.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work be-cause they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.3 millionpersons marginally attached to the labor force had not searched for work inthe 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance orfamily responsibilities. Establishment Survey Data Total nonfarm payroll employment was little changed in February (-36,000).Job losses continued in construction and information, while employment con-tinued to increase in temporary help services. Since the start of the reces-sion in December 2007, payroll employment has fallen by 8.4 million. (Seetable B-1.) Construction employment fell by 64,000 in February, about in line with theaverage monthly job loss over the prior 6 months. Job losses were concen-trated in nonresidential building (-10,000) and among nonresidential specialtytrade contractors (-35,000). Since December 2007, employment in constructionhas fallen by 1.9 million. Employment in the information industry dropped by 18,000 in February. SinceDecember 2007, job losses in information have totaled 297,000. In February,employment in transportation and warehousing continued to trend down. Employment in manufacturing was essentially unchanged in February. Small jobgains in a number of component industries were offset by job losses in motorvehicles and parts and in chemicals. Retail trade employment was unchanged in February, after a sizeable increasein January. Over the month, job gains in building material and garden supplystores (7,000) and in department stores (6,000) were offset by declines infood and beverage stores (-9,000). In February, temporary help services added 48,000 jobs. Since reaching a lowpoint in September 2009, temporary help services employment has risen by284,000. Health care employment continued to trend upward in February. In February, employment in the federal government edged up. The hiring of15,000 temporary workers for Census 2010 was partially offset by a declinein U.S. Postal Service employment. The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls declinedby 0.1 hour to 33.8 hours in February. The manufacturing workweek for allemployees dropped by 0.4 hour to 39.5 hours, and factory overtime decreasedby 0.2 hour over the month. In February, the average workweek for productionor nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls fell by 0.2 hour to33.1 hours; the workweek fell by 1.0 hour in construction, likely reflectingthe unusually severe winter storms. (See tables B-2 and B-7.) In February, average hourly earnings of all employees on private nonfarmpayrolls increased by 3 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $22.46. Over the past 12months, average hourly earnings have risen by 1.9 percent. In February, aver-age hourly earnings of private production and nonsupervisory employees roseby 3 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $18.93. (See tables B-3 and B-8.) The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for December was revised from-150,000 to -109,000, and the change for January was revised from -20,000 to-26,000. REAL CLEAR POLITICS February 8, 2010 January Jobs Data Isn't Good Enough By Investor's Business Daily Excerpts: Economy: The jobs data for January showed modest improvement, with unemployment dropping to 9.7% from 10% and the number of jobs lost coming in at a mere 20,000. Good news, but not nearly good enough. It's too soon to bring out the party poppers and streamers. But at least the hemorrhaging in the job market has stopped. Last year, the U.S. lost on average 392,000 jobs a month, while unemployment rose as high as 10.2%. Set against that, 20,000 jobs lost and a 9.7% jobless rate sound pretty good. Two things bode well for 2010. One, factory overtime now averages about 3.5 hours - meaning that companies may soon have to hire more workers. Two, temporary-help jobs - rising 52,000 in January - suggest that some businesses are short on workers. Full article Investor's Business Daily Job Losses Continuing in 2010 NASDAQ Excerpts: The unemployment rate, calculated using a household survey, fell to 9.7% last month from an unrevised 10% in December, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast the jobless rate would edge higher to 10.1%. Meantime, nonfarm payrolls fell by 20,000 compared with a revised 150,000 drop decline in December. Economists had expected payrolls to be flat. The December figure was revised down sharply from an originally reported 85,000 drop. The Labor Department's annual benchmark revision to the survey that produces the monthly payroll report painted a bleaker 2009 picture. Last year, job losses were almost 600,000 more than previously reported, the revisions showed. Full article 20,000 More Jobs Lost in January Yahoo!

REUTERS/Jeff Haynes ... The Labor Department said the unemployment rate was the highest since June 1983 and payrolls had now dropped for 21 consecutive months.

The poll was conducted before reports, including regional manufacturing surveys, showed some deterioration in employment measures. Full article Lucia Mutikani Yahoo!

WEEKLY STANDARD No Country for Burly Men How feminist groups skewed the Obama stimulus plan towards women's jobs. by Christina Hoff Sommers 06/29/2009, Volume 014, Issue 39 Excerpts: A "man-cession." That's what some economists are starting to call it. Of the 5.7 million jobs Americans lost between December 2007 and May 2009, nearly 80 percent had been held by men. Mark Perry, an economist at the University of Michigan, characterizes the recession as a "downturn" for women but a "catastrophe" for men. Men are bearing the brunt of the current economic crisis because they predominate in manufacturing and construction, the hardest-hit sectors, which have lost more than 3 million jobs since December 2007. Women, by contrast, are a majority in recession-resistant fields such as education and health care, which gained 588,000 jobs during the same period. Rescuing hundreds of thousands of unemployed crane operators, welders, production line managers, and machine setters was never going to be easy. But the concerted opposition of several powerful women's groups has made it all but impossible. Consider what just happened with the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Last November, President-elect Obama addressed the devastation in the construction and manufacturing industries by proposing an ambitious New Deal-like program to rebuild the nation's infrastructure. He called for a two-year "shovel ready" stimulus program to modernize roads, bridges, schools, electrical grids, public transportation, and dams and made reinvigorating the hardest-hit sectors of the economy the goal of the legislation that would become the recovery act.

She noted the Bush Administration’s continuing commitment to providing young people in Ohio with the education and training needed to compete in the 21st century workforce. "The new Cleveland Job Corps Center furthers our mission to provide students with education and training upon which they can build a career and a brighter future," Secretary Chao told an audience of students, teachers and dignitaries. "The center's academic and training programs are rigorous, effective, and accredited so students' skills are recognized by the state's top employers when they graduate."

..."By eliminating tariffs on American-made goods and services exported to Colombia, the Colombia FTA will help create more jobs for America’s workers. Forty percent of U.S. workers are employed by firms that engage directly in the international trade of goods. Export related jobs pay 13-18 percent more than non-export related jobs. Forestalling the vote on the Colombia FTA deprives U.S. workers of these good paying opportunities. In the current economic climate where exports are increasingly responsible for job creation in our country the Colombia FTA is important to the competitiveness of the American economy. The Colombian labor leaders in attendance were Cesar Augusto Velazco, General Secretary of Untracun Cundinamarca Labor Union which represents the flower, construction and footwear sectors of the workforce; Gerardo Sanchez Zapata, General Secretary Antioquia Region of the Textiles Rionegro-Coltejer Labor Union which represents the textile and apparel sectors of the workforce; Eufracio Ruiz Santiago, National Executive Committee Member of Sintra San Carlos Tulua which represents municipal employees; Oswaldo Cuadrado, Senior Advisor and ex-President Central Unitaria de Trabajadores-CUT and ex-Vice President Sintrainagro Public Labor Unions; Carlos Sierra, General Secretary of Centro de Pensamiento Primero de Colombia; and Gustavo Palacio, Union Organizer for mining sector employees." April 11, 2008 The Importance of the Colombia FTA Andrew Roth Full article Andrew Roth Club For Growth Economist Dan Drezner shares his thoughts on the Colombia FTA by responding to blog posts written by Kevin Drum and Matthew Yglesias. Drezner is one of the leading pros on trade economics, and I, of course, agree with him. However, I'd add one more point. The virtue of economic liberty is missing from the Colombia trade debate specifically, and political discourse in general. Free trade agreements are a good idea for several reasons, one of which is because they reaffirm our natural right to trade freely with foreigners who want to do business with us. American consumers should have the right to buy Colombian flowers and coffee without government interference. Why aren't people pointing this out more often? Job Growth It's just like the term, "ownership society." Larry Kudlow recently pointed out -- correctly -- that nobody is using that term anymore. Sure, buzz phrases come and go, so I'm fine with "ownership society" getting discarded, but only if it is replaced with something with the same meaning. I don't think it's a freak accident that its lack of use coincides with the GOP's brand losing its integrity. It's time to start talking about economic liberty...now. In a time when free trade is getting pulverized by protectionists, we need to talk about the freedom that comes with trade liberalization. We need to talk about how the benefits of free trade are immutable. We need to talk about how everyone benefits over the long run when the barriers to trade are at their lowest. Also, I disagree with Drezner when he said, "let's face it, there is going to be zero momentum towards further liberalization beginning in 2009 regardless of whether this FTA is passed." I don't blame Drezner for having a "glass half-empty" attitude on trade, but I think he'll be proven wrong if McCain, one of the strongest free traders in Congress, is elected president. Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 166,000 in October, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.7 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, and leisure and hospitality. Manufacturing employment continued to decline, and construction employment was little changed. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) JOB GROWTH The number of unemployed persons, at 7.2 million, was essentially unchanged in October, and the unemployment rate held at 4.7 percent. A year earlier, the number of unemployed persons was 6.7 million, and the jobless rate was 4.4 percent. Job Growth In October, unemployment rates for the major worker groups--adult men (4.3 percent), adult women (4.1 percent), teenagers (15.6 percent), whites (4.2 percent), blacks (8.5 percent), and Hispanics (5.6 percent)--showed little or no change. The unemployment rate for Asians was 3.7 percent, not seasonallyadjusted. Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Total employment, at 146.0 million, was about unchanged in October. The employment-population ratio--62.7 percent--was little changed in October but was down from its recent peak of 63.4 percent in December. The civilian labor force, at 153.3 million in October, and the labor force participation rate, at65.9 percent, were essentially unchanged from September. Fifty straight months of Job Growth. THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: SEPTEMBER 2007 Employment rose in September, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 4.7 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 110,000. Revised figures were revised for July and August. Increases were 93,000 in July and 89,000. In September, health care, food services, and professional and technical services continued to add jobs, while employment trended down in manufacturing and construction.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The number of unemployed persons (7.2 million) and the unemployment rate (4.7 percent) were essentially unchanged in September. A year earlier, the number ofunemployed persons was 6.9 million and the jobless rate was 4.6 percent. WASHINGTON -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested the Fed won't be convinced that the risk of higher inflation has subsided, until the unemployment rate rises and businesses are operating farther from full capacity. Interestingly what would normally be very good news-full capacity operations and a low unemployment rate are seen as worries to those focusing on possible higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve's main inflation gauge, personal-consumption expenditures prices, increased at 1.9% over the 12 months ended in May. The Fed's new forecast puts inflation at between 2% and 2.25% this year. The labor market remains tight-very good news for the average worker-event though growth has slowed somewhat compared to growth in 2005 and 2006. Skilled workers are even more in demand than average workers. ### JOB GROWTH This past week we learned that job growth over the last year was far greater than previously stated. During the first week of each month the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is within the Department of Labor, issues the jobs report, providing data on the number of new jobs, or job losses. Fortunately for the last 37 months, there have been plenty of new jobs-good jobs-created. In fact that number has turned out to be mind bogglingly higher than previously reported. The number of unreported jobs turned out to be 810,000, bringing the total over the last 2 years to more than 5 1/2 million. The disparity is caused in large part because the jobs report does not take into account those reported in the "Household Survey" which is done by telephone and takes into account small business employment, the self-employed, independent contractors and many limited liability corporations. Job Growth We know how many friends, neighbors, acquaintances, start new businesses for which there are no records when the businesses are new and all red tape, filing and reporting of forms has not taken place. And what about buying and selling on eBay. The evidence is in that many of these are not taken into account in the Bureau of Labor Statistics survey. So along with this good news, wage gains have had hefty increases in the last 12 months, the stock market just went over 12,000, unemployment is lower than the average of the last 40 years, inflation is under control, and economic indicators bode very well. Let's not let the doomsdayers-mostly liberals-succeed in striking fear into every day Americans. The news is great!! JOB GROWTH
