The new administration is rapidly implementing many of the policies touted on the campaign trail. While the changes are meant for the long-term impact, consumers are becoming worried about the economy in the near term with so many large movements in a short period. Tariffs, job cuts in the federal government, changes in government funding, and other factors led to the University of Michigan's survey of consumer sentiment to drop significantly in March. The latest reading of the index was at 57.9, which was down 11% from the prior month and 27% below a year ago. It was the lowest level of the index since November 2022...Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

The chair of the Federal Reserve said that Americans should expect economic fluctuation and inflation while adjusting to the implementation of new policies, but the target of 2% is on track. Gene Marks comments on that while noting that the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch continues to show moderate job growth but stagnant hourly earnings growth. In a surprising turn, the new administration appealed a court's decision on the Biden-era Overtime Rule, but Gene said that is a maneuver to secure the agency's decision-making powers and not to hang onto the salary threshold.

The latest U.S. employment report shows a slowing job market, with payroll growth moderating to 143,000 in January and the unemployment rate ticking up to 4.0%. But beneath the surface, revisions paint an even weaker picture—job growth in 2023 was lower than initially reported. While healthcare and retail added jobs, sectors like oil, gas, and manufacturing saw declines.Is this a sign of a cooling economy, or just a temporary slowdown? More importantly, what does it mean for investors looking to protect and grow their wealth in a shifting economic landscape? Whether you're a seasoned investor, an entrepreneur, or simply someone keeping an eye on the global economy, we invite you to join us as we unpack the key trends shaping the markets.

He says the economy and jobs market remain strong, and he doesn't expect a collapse in either. “The stability in job growth is actually really remarkable.” He also compares how people feel about the economy based on their political affiliations, but says sentiment is “vulnerable” if things don't shake out how people expect.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

KGMI's Dianna Hawryluk talks to CBS business analyst Jill Schlesinger about the surprising December jobs report

1.10.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ Tulsa massacre report, Biden/Harris job growth review, Calif. wildfire impact on Black families More than a century after a white mob terrorized Tulsa's Greenwood community and burned it to the ground, the U.S. Department of Justice has issued a report acknowledging what's now known as the Tulsa Race Massacre. The next administration will inherit a healthy job force. I'll talk to Don Graves, Jr., the Deputy Secretary of Commerce, about the job growth over the past four years. The California wildfires are leaving thousands homeless. I'll talk to two black families about how they are coping with their loss. And I will share my thoughts about Amazon paying Melania Trump millions for her biography.

The job report was good, but why is that bad? Before we go into why the good report was bad, let's talk about some of the data. The expected number of payrolls was 155,000, which came in well above that at 256,000 jobs for the month of December and also increased from November when it was 212,000 jobs. This high increase in payrolls caused unemployment to drop to 4.1% and came along with an increase in average hourly earnings of 0.3% for December. Over the last 12 months average hourly earnings have increased 3.9%, which is a decent number, but just under the expected growth in average hourly earnings. Job Growth was seen in healthcare with an increase of 46,0000 jobs. That was followed by leisure and hospitality which saw an increase of 43,000 jobs and government jobs, which includes Federal, state and local jobs were up 33,000. Because it was a holiday season there was an increase in retail jobs of 43,000 after the loss of 29,000 jobs in November. There are always revisions to the previous two months, but there was not much change here as October saw an increase of 7000 jobs and the November report was actually cut by 15,000 jobs which produced a total decline of only 8000 jobs for the past two months. Because the job report was so good compared to expectations, this put fear in the stock market and bond market that there may not be any interest rate cuts until the fall of this year. This also led to concerns that we could maybe see more inflation going forward. Maybe that makes sense for traders to sell, but investors should want a strong economy. That means your businesses will sell more goods and services and increase their profits. Interest sensitive equities like real estate were hit pretty hard with a good job report and banks also had a little trouble digesting the good report and declined as well. For investors I think this is a good report because it shows strength in the economy and based on the recent job openings from the JOLTS report, I think 2025 will be a good investment year for investors in fairly valued equities, but you will see a lot of scary volatility, which smart investors should use as a buying opportunity.   Job openings report sends the market lower! The JOLTs report, which stands for Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed an impressive increase in job openings in the month of November to 8.096 million. This easily topped the estimate of 7.65 million and October's reading of 7.839 million, which was revised upward from the initial number of 7.744 million. While this points to a labor market that has continued to remain strong, there were some indications of softening. On a year-over-year basis, job openings fell by 833,000 and the quits rate moved from 2.1% in October to 1.9% in November. This indicates workers are less confident in finding another job if they quit their current one, which should put less pressure on wage inflation. The resiliency in the labor market is concerning for those that are looking for more rate cuts as a strong labor market allows the Fed to be patient and wait for inflation to cool further. The news paired with a December US services sector report that showed faster-than-expected growth and higher prices paid caused the ten-year Treasury to climb to around 4.7%. This spooked many speculative areas of the market including technology and cryptocurrencies.   Apple Intelligence, maybe not so intelligent? Apple's AI system, also known as Apple Intelligence, has been having some issues and has been spreading fake news. One of the AI features for iPhones summarizes users' notifications, but some of the news stories it has been summarizing has been completely inaccurate. It recently attempted to summarize a BBC News notification that falsely claimed British darts player Luke Littler had won the championship. Unfortunately, this came a day before the actual tournament's final, which Littler did end up winning. Maybe Apple Intelligence is so good it can predict the future? This was not the only false story though as Apple Intelligence has now wrongly claimed that Tennis star Rafael Nadal had come out as gay, Luigi Mangione, the man arrested following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself, and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested. The BBC in particular has been trying for a month to get Apple to fix the problem. In response, Apple apparently told the BBC it's working on an update that would add clarification that shows when Apple Intelligence is responsible for the text displayed in the notifications. This compares to the current situation where generated news notifications show up as coming directly from the source. To me this doesn't sound like a good solution as it doesn't solve the problem and most people likely wouldn't read past the headline anyway. This could still make the news organizations look bad, which I'm sure they are trying to avoid. Personally, I'm still not seeing the need to upgrade to the new iPhone, especially if these new AI features don't provide any value. From an investment standpoint, as you likely know we still believe Apple is extremely expensive trading at nearly 30x future earnings and would not recommend the stock at this time.   The tariffs are coming, who could get hurt? The retail industry will take a big hit on profits. It is estimated that about 23% of durable consumer goods like refrigerators, washers and dryers are connected to imported goods. About 19% of non-durable goods such as diapers, clothing, shoes and towels have some sort of dependency on imported products. These could be slightly higher because the only data available was from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that came out in a 2019 study. You may think that technology and the Mag Seven will be immune from the hit to profits, but even they could face problems. Nvidia has a 76% gross margin so they should be able to absorb most, if not all of any tariffs that come their way. Apple has half the gross profit margin of Nvidia at 37% and most of their products are built in China, which could be a huge dilemma for Apple. It is no guarantee but last time around the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, was able to get an exemption on their products. Will that happen in 2025? That's the big question. If they don't get the exemption, their stock could take a massive hit that could be more than Apple investors have seen in a while. If you're an Apple investor, you may want to use the sophisticated investing technique of crossing your fingers and anything else you're able to cross as well and hope for the best. With the other Mag Seven such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta, their products are safe but keep in mind that combined they spent roughly $200 billion in capital expenditures in the most recent quarter and about 60% was on imported equipment. The other industry that could take a big hit would be carmakers, such as Ford, General Motors and Stellantis and we could see hits to the operating profits anywhere from 20 to 30%. The big fear here is the estimate is between 50 to 70% of parts for the popular cars sold in the U.S. come from Canada or Mexico. Experts estimate that the consumers will see about a 6% increase in the price of new cars sold here in the US. I can't even imagine what the increase on the price of a car will be if it's a full import like a Porsche, Maserati or Ferrari. The good news is that the economy in the US is far stronger than Europe, China and Mexico, so we can weather the storm and be in a better negotiating position than those countries. With that said, I do believe we will go through some pain before things get better. I also believe if you have equities with high valuations in your portfolio that are affected by the tariffs, they could take a much larger hit than your low valuation companies that pay dividends.   Changes to Catch-Up Contributions Every year the contribution limits for retirement accounts increase.  This year is a little different because one of the provisions from the Secure Act 2.0 is now active.  If you are under the age of 50, your contribution limit for an employer sponsored retirement plan like a 401(k) is now $23,500, an increase of $500 from 2024.  If you will be 50 or older by the end of the year, you may make an additional catch-up contribution of $7,500 which means your total contribution limit is now $31,000.  However, starting in 2025 thanks to the Secure Act 2.0, if you are between the ages of 60 and 63, you may make a catch-up contribution of $11,250 rather than $7,500, meaning your total contribution limit is $34,750.  This age range is based on how old you will be at the end of the year, so if you are turning 60 this year, you are eligible to contribute the entire $34,750.  However, if you are currently 63 but will be turning 64 this year, you may only contribute $31,000.  If you are wanting to max out your retirement plan, make any necessary adjustments to your payroll contributions now so you don't have to scramble at the end of the year.  This addition catch-up contribution was implemented to help older workers prepare for retirement, but I don't see how this will make much of a difference for anyone.  It increases the contribution limit by $3,750 for 4 years, which is a total of $15,000.  An extra $15,000 is not going to make or break anyone's retirement, especially considering we already the option of funding non-retirement investment accounts after maxing out retirement accounts.   Companies Discussed: Expand Energy Corporation (EXE), Paychex, Inc. (PAYX), Cintas Corporation (CTAS) & United States Steel Corporation (X)

David Cohen is the cofounder and CEO of Techstars, a global startup accelerator and venture capital firm. In this episode of the Blind Ambition podcast, David gives us an inside look of how his firm supports and mentors tech founders and has the willingness to bet early on. He emphasizes that successful investments often seem counterintuitive at first. David notes that there are rarely "aha" moments in investing, and ideas that initially sound bad can turn out to be the most valuable opportunities. This approach has led Techstars to invest in unicorn companies like Uber. He emphasizes the critical role of startups in driving job growth, challenging the traditional notion that large corporations are the primary employment engines. Lastly, David talks about growing his startup community and how he plans to scale tech hubs on the ground everywhere. 

State Representative Travis Weaver, representing the 93rd District in Illinois, was sworn in for his second term today in Springfield. Weaver emphasized his commitment to education, fiscal responsibility, job growth, and agriculture. He aims to address significant budget deficits while reducing taxes and regulations. “It is the honor and privilege of a lifetime to represent the amazing people of the 93rd District in the Illinois House of Representatives,” said Rep. Weaver. “I look forward to continuing to bring effective, common-sense conservative reform to Springfield. My bipartisan legislative priorities continue to be Education, Fiscal Responsibility, Job Growth, and Agriculture. We are facing huge budget deficits this year, and in the future, if we don't start enacting common-sense reforms and impactful legislation. Illinoisans are tired of being over-taxed and over-regulated, and I'll continue to fight for the hard-working folks of the 93rd District.”

U.S. job growth bounced back in NovemberAfter a dismal report for October, job gains were strong in November with 227,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy on a seasonally adjusted basis. It outperformed the consensus expectations of approximately 200,000 jobs.October's report of 12,000 jobs added, which was revised up to 36,000 jobs, was influenced by special circumstances related to two hurricanes, a strike by Boeing workers, and a short survey collection period. In total, job gains for the prior two months were revised up by 56,000 jobs.Job creation is one of the biggest drivers for housing demand, including multifamily. Job growth in 2025 is likely to resemble a pace like the past six months, which has been 143,000 jobs added per month. With lower levels of new supply, and many markets already on the upswing, national average effective rent growth should trend closer to 3% by the end of the year.

The U.S. economy added 227,000 jobs in November, with a slight increase in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. Notably, the IT sector saw stable hiring, with the unemployment rate for IT professionals decreasing to 2.5%. However, a recent study highlights the impact of return-to-office mandates on employee turnover, especially among women and skilled workers, indicating a significant challenge for companies in retaining talent.Host Dave Sobel emphasizes the importance of employee retention strategies as organizations prepare to restructure their technology teams for 2025. A survey revealed that over 40% of IT workers are exploring new job opportunities, driven by factors such as competitive compensation and work-life balance. With nearly 90% of IT professionals expecting their companies to redesign IT structures in the next 18 months, reskilling in areas like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence is becoming a top priority. The tight labor market, with IT unemployment at a low 2.5%, necessitates proactive engagement with potential candidates and investment in employee development.The episode also delves into technology spending, particularly the challenges associated with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). A survey of IT workers found that while many recognize the potential benefits of VDI, cost considerations often take precedence over performance. The lack of visibility into VDI integration with applications leads to frustration among IT teams, with a significant percentage reporting daily or weekly issues. Sobel suggests that a hybrid model combining VDI and traditional desktops may offer a solution to balance efficiency and cost.Finally, Sobel highlights the growth of the private LTE and 5G market, which is expected to continue expanding significantly in the coming years. He also discusses the positive impact of artificial intelligence on small and medium-sized businesses, with a majority attributing revenue growth to AI implementation. As companies increasingly invest in AI technologies, the role of CIOs is evolving, with many being tasked to act as chief AI officers. The episode concludes with a reflection on the ongoing developments in AI and the importance of data governance as businesses navigate these transformative technologies. Three things to know today00:00 U.S. Jobs Growth, IT Labor Trends, and Employee Retention: How Companies Are Tackling Workforce Pressures in 202504:24 VDI Challenges, Private 5G Growth, and AI's Impact on SMB Revenue08:55 Microsoft, AWS, and Reddit Expand AI Features and Cloud Strategies  Supported by:  https://tdsynnex.com/StreamOneIonhttps://mspradio.com/engage/     All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Ontario's minimum wage rose to $17.20 from $16.55 on October 1, an increase of almost 4 percent based on the province's consumer price index. But advocates argue that the wage is still too low in places with a higher cost of living. There's even a movement to introduce a living wage, one that is indexed to local costs. Minimum wage workers in Toronto and Hamilton for example would be paid more per hour than those in Sudbury or Thunder Bay. But business owners say that they can't be expected to bear the sole cost of increasing wages. Some say that the government has a bigger role to play in helping low-wage workers improve their skills to graduate better paying jobs. So, what is the best way to support Ontario's low-wage workers?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a weekly narration of our Rent and Operating Trends ReportU.S. Job Growth Slowed Significantly in OctoberBased on last week's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. labor market added 12,000 jobs in October. It was the lowest monthly total since December 2020, but sluggish growth was expected due to some special circumstances.Impacts from the hurricanes, a strike by Boeing workers, and a shorter collection period of employer data all contributed to the lower reading. There is a chance November shows a bounce back as those trends normalize.The other pessimistic note in the report is that job gains for the prior two months were revised down by a combined 112,000 jobs.Interestingly, ADP's estimate of job gain was incredibly strong at 233,000 for October. The Overall Economy Remains Very StrongWhile last week's labor market report was subpar, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported GDP growth of 2.8% for the third quarter. While the rate was slightly below last quarter's growth of 3.0%, it still suggests the economy is robust.The number was boosted by consumer spending, exports, and federal government spending. A decrease in housing investment was partially to blame for GDP underperforming the prior quarter's growth. Will the Fed Cut Rates Again this Week?It is widely expected that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday. Annual growth for the all-items consumer price index slowed to 2.4% in September, the lowest in more than three years, and it was similar to inflation before the pandemic.Lower interest rates can help keep consumer spending at a strong rate and allow businesses to invest more in hiring and equipment upgrades.If the Fed does not lower interest rates this week, the committee will have another opportunity before the end of the year. Its next regularly scheduled meeting is on December 17-18. Multifamily HighlightsOperational metrics barely budged from the prior week, which is a good sign during a seasonally slow period. That is especially true for metrics like occupancy rate and traffic which have been at their lowest levels in the past few years. In addition to the amount of supply being delivered, slower job growth has likely weighed on performance as well.Rent growth did not experience as big of a decline in October this year compared to 2023. At the national level, effective rents declined 46 basis points in October this year compared to a 133 point drop last year. On an annual basis, rents are still down 0.2% from a year ago, but that metric is poised to turn positive.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Dante joins the podcast to discuss the October employment report. The impact of recent strikes and hurricanes weighed on the headline jobs figure, but everyone agrees that underlying job growth remains strong. Cris and Mark debate the reasons why productivity growth in the U.S. has outpaced the rest of the world, but Dante remains skeptical that recent productivity success is sustainable.Guest: Dante DeAntonio, Se nior Director of Economic Research, Moody's AnalyticsHosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn

In this episode, I share a particularly tough Monday where a series of small, frustrating events made me feel overwhelmed and ready to run away. From toddlers making messes to kids having meltdowns, I experienced it all. I then had a moment of clarity that helped me find peace in the chaos – realizing 'this is the job.' It's about accepting the responsibilities and challenges that come with being a parent and leaning into them with a positive mindset. I hope my story and the lessons I've learned inspire you to embrace your own challenges with resilience and dedication.

This is a narration of our weekly Rent and Operating Trends Report.Jobs Report Much Stronger Than ExpectationsThe U.S. economy added 254,000 jobs in September according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), which was roughly 100,000 more jobs than expected. Additionally, the preliminary results for July and August were revised upward by a combined 72,000 jobs, suggesting the labor market remains strong. Job growth is one of the most important factors to multifamily demand because it helps spur new household formation. Combined with declining supply levels in many locations, multifamily fundamentals are trending in the right direction for more balanced operational results in 2025. While the numbers released last week are favorable, recent labor market reports have faced much criticism related to their accuracy due to repeated downward revisions in subsequent publications. That said, current multifamily rent growth and occupancy rates suggest supply and demand have found equilibrium in many markets.  Wages are Up and Unemployment is DownThe BLS also reported average annual wage growth in the U.S. increased to 4.0% in September. It had decelerated to 3.6% in July before increasing the past two months. Based on Radix data, the last time national rent growth exceeded wage growth was in September 2022. The unemployment rate decreased slightly to 4.1%. The trend suggested many people impacted by layoffs have been able to find new work, but hiring remained very concentrated in just a handful of industries. Approximately 73% of new jobs created in September were in healthcare, social assistance, government, construction, restaurants, and bars. Job seekers in other industries likely feel like the labor market is weaker than headline reports. Goldman Sachs Lowers the Probability of a RecessionAccording to a report by CNBC, Goldman Sachs has lowered the chance of a near-term recession to 15%. To put it into perspective, that number is considered the baseline probability for any “normal” period. Last week's strong labor market report was noted as one of the factors playing a role in the optimistic outlook. Other positive economic news during the last month included lower growth in inflation, better-than-expected consumer spending, and the Fed lowering interest rates. Multifamily HighlightsOperational performance in the first week of October showed no material differences than prior weeks, outside of typical seasonal slowing. Traffic and occupancy rates remained down from last year, but the week-to-week changes were minor. Annual rent growth remained negative at -0.5% at the U.S. level. Steady job growth should result in a typical fourth quarter for performance for multifamily, especially in markets where supply is slowing. If that happens, more markets will show positive rent growth and improved occupancy rates in 2025.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website
