Sweet Job Advice: Good News for Jobs - Market is Trying!
Friday, August 5, 2011 at 5:18PM The labor market is trying to come back.
117,000 jobs were added this last month. This exceeded the expectations by 75,000 jobs. There were also adjustments made to May and June numbers that resulted in a total adjustment of job hiring in the last 60 days.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Health care and Retail for two of the areas that saw an increase.
Current unemployment rate is 9.1%
The increased that I mentioned was a surprising jump in a positive direction that took the experts by surprise.
In addition the oil prices are dropping from 100 to 86. This will mean in the next 2 weeks a drop of 15 cents a gallon for the consumer. More positive news!
Also the 30 year home mortgage rates are at their lowest since November, rates are 4.3%!
The economy needs 200,000 jobs added each month to help the economy and labor market improve.
One of the most logical solutions is to have the politicians in Washington DC to stop fighting and spending money.
Most importantly if they could get their act together and change the tax laws to reflect tax breaks to businesses that hire, that would be positive and wonderful.
Give business and incentive to hire and a tax break.
Have a great week-end.
