The Labor Department reports that 165,000 new jobs were created in April – below the average gains of 183,000 in the previous three months.
We can’t achieve escape velocity. Since mid-2010, the three-month rolling average of job gains hasn’t dipped below 100,000 but has exceeded 250,000 jobs just twice. This isn’t enough to ease the backlog of at least 3 million (estimates [...] Former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) told Bloomberg TV’s Erik Schatzker and Sara Eisen today that he is ”concerned about the erraticness of the dollar. The dollar is up, the dollar is down. We print a lot of dollars. The dollar gets devalued. That is really the concern. If people think the gold price up and down is a reflection of something wrong with gold, no, I say it is something wrong [...] “Addtionally, both Yglesias and Yuval Rosenberg at the Fiscal Times write that absent economic activity might just be delayed, as in a storm — extra work to get through on Monday, a Red Sox doubleheader next time the Royals come to town.

DB Mt. Gox, the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange, has just reopened following a 12-hour trading halt. The virtual currency is plunging. It reopened at $78, instantly losing 35% of its value from where it was when trading was halted earlier today ($120). From yesterday’s intraday peak of $266, Bitcoin has now lost 70% of its value.

In an interview conducted for a journalist’s PhD thesis, Germany’slongest-serving postwar chancellor said that he would have lost any popular vote on the euro by an overwhelming majority. “I knew that I could never win a referendum in Germany,” he said. [...] The oil and gas extraction industry lost 600 payrolls in March, according to the BLS report out this morning.
That ends a 27-straight month period without job losses for the sector. Total payrolls fell to 192,500 from 193,100. We shouldn’t necessarily be surprised — oil prices have now entered their second year of a downward trend.

The 1% increased income; taking 81% of gains (the top 1% of the 1% took 39% of this total). This follows a pattern that between 1980 and 2005, the 1% also took over 80% of all income gains. Since 1966, inflation-adjusted annual income for the bottom 90% of Americans [...] Question: I was wondering if you can tell me how if a run on the bankshappens in Cyprus, how that might affect U.S. markets. And also is it possible for the U.S. to levy a tax on regular deposits here? Or why not? Bernanke: As someone mentioned Cyprus is a tiny economy.

(CBS Houston) — Louisiana’s State Health Department forced a homeless shelter to destroy $8,000 worth of deer meat because it was donated from a hunter organization. KTBS-TV reports that the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission lost 1,600 pounds of venison because the state’s Health Department doesn’t recognize Hunters for the Hungry, an organization that allows hunters to donate any extra game to charity. “We didn’t find anything wrong with it,” Rev. Henry Martin told [...] If it seems like it hasn’t been even a year since the latest Atlantic City casino, this one with the surreal ads showcasing Revel Atlantic City, opened up, it is because that is exactly the case. Ten months to be precise. And just as quickly as it came, just as quickly did it file for bankruptcy.

As Obamacare began to kick in, hundreds of businesses began laying off staff to offset the increased costs they face under Obamacare. Consequently, thousands of people have lost their jobs, thanks to Obama and his Affordable Care Act. Hundreds of other businesses, especially many small businesses have had to drop health benefits for their employees as they [...] From The Reformed Broker: Noted conservative columnist George Will tackled the Too Big To Fail Forever meme in this Washington Post this week. I confess to having lost interest in the topic and in the latest stats. The war is over, we lost, they won. We’ll pay our penalty the next time they blow and burst a superbubble in financial assets directly over our heads. But just for the hell of it, [...] The chart below, from the Economist, takes a look at how long it would take an individual from any given country to become a millionaire based on “how much the main breadwinner in an average household makes each year (before tax).” No major surprises here: the fastest spawning place for a budding millionaire, a term that has long ago lost its one-time cachet thanks to the world’s central banks who have [...] WEST WINDSOR — West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South and all schools in Plainsboro are on lockdown after police lost sight of a man and woman with hunting rifles who were wandering near Millstone Pond, West Windsor Police Lt.

In January 2013, [...] CHICAGO — At least five people were gunned down Saturday in Chicago, including a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings.

Michigan accounted for about 10 percent of the nation’s loss of unionized workers as the Wolverine State fell to the seventh most-unionized state, from fifth in 2011. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said [...] from FT: The missing word in the election debate is competitiveness. Italy’s economy has lost competitiveness over the past decade or so. Internal labour costs have grown at a faster pace than productivity, and faster than in most of the rest of the world. Since the creation of the euro, Italy’s unit labour costs have risen by about 30 per cent more than the currency area average.

The high school student who was suspended after she refused to wear a student ID card implanted with a GPS chip because it is against her religious beliefs has lost her legal battle. Andrea [...] One of the reasons Apple’s stock has gotten clobbered lately is that many people think Apple has lost its edge in its most important product line: smartphones. The iPhone has been such a mind-boggling success that it drives more than half of Apple’s overall profit. And for most of the past five years, Apple has had a lock on the “best smartphone in the market.” In recent years, however, competitors have caught up with the iPhone. Some reviewers [...] |
