Rising Unemployment Is Just The Excuse The Fed’s Been Waiting For

Rising Unemployment Is Just The Excuse The Fed’s Been Waiting For


* Yesterday we got the first jobs report of the year and the way Wall Street and the media seem to be spinning it:
* "It was a good report!"
* It was good news because the headline number beat expectations:
* We created 227,000 jobs in January vs the 175,000 that had been expected
* Of course it was an improvement on the 157,000 jobs which was a disappointing report in December
* But once again, if you look beneath the headline number, you'll find that there are a lot more problems to this report than the media is reporting
* First of all, as always, the lion's share of these jobs are lower-paying service sector jobs
* They're in retail trade, leisure and hospitality
* So we're not creating the types of jobs that will Make America Great Again
* In fact, if you look at the higher paying jobs - manufacturing, mining logging
* These jobs are barely adding workers, if not losing workers
* But the bigger story here has to do with what's happening to labor force participation, wages and unemployment
* The official U3 Unemployment rate went up from 4.7% to 4.8%
* The more revealing U6 number, which I think paints a more accurate picture of the true state of the labor market
* That went up from 9.2% to 9.4%
* Even Donald Trump, when he was campaigning, said that that number was far more accurate than Obama's official numbers
* Why did the unemployment rate go up so much, considering that we had 227,00 jobs created?
* The reason was that we had over 700,000 workers re-enter the labor force
* This goes against the trend that has dominated the entirety of the Obama administration
* Where we saw a mass exodus of workers leaving the labor force
* In fact, the labor force participation rate went up in January from 62.7% to 62.9%
* First of all, why did so many Americans decide to re-enter the labor force in January?
* Maybe there are 2 possible explanations and maybe they're both accurate:
* One might have to do with all the optimism surrounding the Donald Trump Presidency
* Remember, Donald Trump campaigned that he was going to be the greatest jobs President
* And it's possible that a lot of people believe that this is going to happen
* So they are re-entering the labor force to land one of these great jobs that President Trump will be delivering
* You have to enter the labor force in order to apply for one of these jobs
* Another reason is that the people who have been "sitting out" of labor force participation
* Maybe circumstances are finally catching up with them, maybe they're running out of money
* Maybe the cost of living has risen to the point that they have to, by necessity, find a job
