“Strong” Jobs Report More Politics Than Economics – Ep. 185

“Strong” Jobs Report More Politics Than Economics – Ep. 185


* What a difference a week makes, or maybe and economic report
* The two big reports that everybody seems to focus on are the GDP numbers and the jobs numbers
* It seems that the weaker the economy is, as measured by GDP, the more jobs, somehow, the economy seems to create
* We got the jobs report for July and just a week earlier we got Q2 GDP
* As I spoke about on the last podcast, that number was basically half of what Wall Street had been anticipating - less than half
* They were looking for 2.4 or 2.6 and we got 1.2
* Even worse, we went back and revised down the prior 2 quarters to below 1%
* That very weak number caused people to talk about the fact that the Fed can't raise rates, the economy is weaker than we thought, are we slipping back into recession?...
* Now fast forward a week, and we get a Non-Farm Payroll report that is higher than anticipated and now all of a sudden people are starting to talk about September rate hikes again
* Obviously, withe the stock market on Friday rising to a new record high, I doubt the equity traders actually believe that Friday's jobs report is going to produce a rate hike
* Yet it doesn't stop all the financial journalists writing about how this confirms that the recovery is on track, and the Fed can raise rates
* This jobs report doesn't confirm anything
