Version 0.66 (2024-05-04 02:55:45.889000)

updates: The US labor market showed signs of slowing in April, with employers adding 175,000 jobs to their payrolls, falling short of economists' expectations of 240,000 jobs. The gains in job growth were seen in the construction sector, which added 22,000 jobs, as well as in retail, which added 56,000 jobs. The public sector also saw an increase of 8,000 jobs. The healthcare sector led job growth, adding 56,000 positions. However, the unemployment rate ticked up slightly from 3.8% in March to 3.9% in April, marking the 27th consecutive month below 4%. Wage growth also slowed, with average hourly earnings increasing by 0.2% on a monthly basis, down from 0.3% in March. Average hourly earnings were 3.9% higher than a year ago, falling below 4.0% for the first time since 2021. The slower job growth and rising inflation have prompted concerns about earnings and the overall health of the economy. The positive numbers in the report have been well-received by investors, with S&P 500 e-mini futures up 1.1% and the US Treasury 10-year yield falling. However, analysts caution that one report does not establish a trend and more evidence is needed before considering rate cuts. The Federal Reserve is maintaining the benchmark lending rate at a 23-year high, indicating that rate cuts are more likely than rate hikes this year. The slowdown in hiring is attributed to businesses feeling the pressure from sustained high real interest rates. The situation has allowed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to dismiss concerns of stagflation, but he has also stated that the central bank is prepared to respond to unexpected weakness in the job market. Lydia Boussour, senior economist at EY-Parthenon, expects job growth to slow below trend and the unemployment rate to rise to 4.1% by year-end. The Biden administration celebrated the April jobs report, with President Joe Biden touting the 15 million jobs created during his presidency. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, provided a different view of the report. The labor market continues to show signs of strength, even as it cools. Former Obama administration economic adviser Jason Furman said the numbers are close to ideal in the current environment. The White House is monitoring the data and withholding declaring victory until the desired trajectory is achieved. The strong job growth has led to increased demand and inflation, which is a concern for voters. President Joe Biden has been urged to address the frustration of the electorate, as many Americans feel that their financial situation has not improved despite having a job. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to combat inflation, but the latest jobs report has led market participants to expect interest rate cuts in September. Biden has openly discussed his prediction of a rate cut before the end of the year. In other news, the Biden administration announced that it is expanding access to health insurance for immigrants covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Treasury Department finalized new rules that could make more electric vehicles eligible for tax credits of up to $7,500 under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The new rule, which comes amid a dramatic slowdown in sales of electric vehicles, could have implications for car buyers, climate change, and the US economy. Economist Gabriel Zucman argues for a minimum tax on billionaires to address the issue of tax avoidance by the super-rich. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is fighting her state's declining population by welcoming migrants. Water filtration systems are coming to East Palestine, Ohio. [0e54e54d]

updates: US job growth slowed in April, with only 175,000 positions added, the lowest since October 2023. Unemployment rose to 3.9%, the 27th consecutive month below 4%. The slower gains were expected due to high interest rates and the Federal Reserve's efforts to cool demand. Markets surged on the news. The health care and social assistance sector saw the most job gains, with transportation and warehousing and retail trade also recording growth. Wage growth slowed, with average hourly earnings increasing 0.2% from March and 3.9% over the past year. Fed officials are monitoring wage gains for inflation pressure. The Fed will not loosen its monetary policy until there's a clear slowing in inflation or a sudden weakening in the labor market. The next report for the Consumer Price Index, a gauge of inflation, will be released on March 15.

updates: The US economy added 233,000 jobs in April, down from the 303,000 jobs created in March. The US labor market cooled notably in April as both hiring and wage growth slowed more than economists had expected. The US economy added 175,000 new jobs in April, falling below the forecasted number. The unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, higher than the expected 3.8% unemployment rate. The April jobs report showed that wages rose less than forecast, with average hourly earnings rising 0.2% over last month and 3.9% over the last year. The length of the average workweek fell last month, and the underemployment rate rose to 7.4%. The slower jobs report is seen as welcome news to the Federal Reserve, indicating that interest rate hikes are impacting a labor market that has been resilient in recent years. The slight slowdown in job growth in April could eventually give the Fed more room to cut rates and address economic concerns.

updates: The US economy added 233,000 jobs in April, down from the 303,000 jobs created in March. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.8%. Inflation has stalled, raising doubts about the timetable for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Job openings fell in March to 8.5 million, the lowest in over three years. The number of Americans quitting their jobs also decreased in March, reaching its lowest level since January 2021. Average Hourly Earnings is expected to grow by 4.0% in the year through April, down from 4.1% in the previous twelve months. Economists had expected the April Jobs Report to show an additional 240,000 jobs, slightly less than the first-quarter average but more than the pace over the second half of last year. Business surveys indicate plans to hire fewer people in the coming months, and other indicators of labor demand, such as job openings, have decreased. The Employment Cost Index rose faster than expected in the first quarter, suggesting that employers are offering more compensation to retain workers.
