The Trump administration's 10 percent universal tariff and additional targeted duties on over 60 countries were announced on April 2 and went into effect on April 5. The modest rise in import prices, particularly outside the fuel category, suggests that the duties have not significantly deterred U.S. purchases of foreign-made goods.   The increase in nonfuel goods prices, combined with steady import volumes, may indicate that tariff-related costs are being absorbed without major shifts in buying behavior, at least so far. source: breitbart.com   https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1923409184030429667    Biden and the Democrats gave us.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (May 12-16, 2025) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday Broad inflation slowed in April to its lowest point in more than four years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that its Consumer Price Index rose 2.3% from April 2024, still outpacing the Fed's 2% target but down from a four-decade high of 9.1% in mid-2022. Shelter costs c0ntributed more than half of the month's increase while grocery prices fell the most since mid-2020. Egg prices dropped nearly 13% from March but were 49% more expensive than they were in April 2024. The 2.3% year-to-year inflation rate was the lowest since February 2021. Excluding volatile costs for food and energy, the core CPI rose 2.8% from the same time last year, the same pace as in March. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday Inflation on the wholesale level registered a 2.4% annual increase in April, slowing for the third month in a row. The Producer Price Index was down 0.5% from March, the first decline in 16 months and the most since April 2020. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the index shrank mostly because of lower prices for services, led by margins for machinery and vehicle wholesaling. The core rate of wholesale inflation, stripping out volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, sank 0.1% for the month and was up 2.9% from April 2024. Retail sales slowed in April, though consumers kept spending, according to a report by the Commerce Department. Advanced sales by retailers and food services rose 0.1% from March. Among 13 major categories, five increased sales from the month before, including bars and restaurants. Sales at supermarkets and liquor stores were unchanged. Car dealers and gas stations were among the outlets where sales declined. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales fell 0.2% in April. Economists follow store signs as an indication of consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of the U.S. economy. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the third week in a row, rising to its highest level since October. The measure of employer willingness to let workers go was 36% below the 58-year average, suggesting a continued tight labor market. According to Labor Department data, total jobless claims fell 3% from the week before to just under 1.9 million applications, which was nearly 6% higher than the year before, The Federal Reserve said its industrial production index was unchanged in April, though 1.5% above where it stood the year before. Lower output from manufacturing and mining was offset by increased production by utilities following an unseasonably warm March. Factories produced 0.4% less than March and were up 1.2% from April 2024. Industry's capacity utilization rate fell marginally to 77.7%, staying below the 52-year average of 79.6%. Seen as an early indicator of inflation, the capacity rate has been safely under the long-range average since late 2022. Friday Housing construction in April stayed in a relatively narrow band that has accompanied higher interest rates since mid-2022. A Commerce Department report on building permits and housing starts showed the indicators on par with levels in early 2007, just before the Great Recession. The number of houses under construction has been declining since late 2023 but remained near the housing boom peak of 2006. Economists have blamed a lack of inventory for years of escalating housing prices. The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment sank slightly from the end of April following four months of sharp declines. Since January, sentiment was down nearly 30%. More consumers spontaneously mentioned tariff uncertainty as reasons for angst for the economy and their personal finances.

He attributes this to AI replacing jobs, declining college enrollment, and rising tuition costs, with student loan debt doubling to $1.7 trillion since Obama's nationalization. Markowski criticizes universities' focus on subsidies over outcomes, suggesting taxing their endowments or athletic revenues to reduce student loan balances, and warns of widespread hiring freezes fueling graduate frustration. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

(AURN News) — The U.S. economy added 177,000 jobs in April, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, signaling continued growth amid global tariff tensions and economic uncertainty under President Donald Trump's administration. The national unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, but stark differences remain among racial groups. The unemployment rate for Black Americans stood at 6.3%—the highest among any demographic—compared to 5.2% for Hispanics, 3.8% for Whites and 3.0% for Asians. Healthcare led job gains last month, contributing 51,000 new positions. Government employment, however, declined by 9,000 jobs. Wages also rose modestly, with average hourly earnings increasing by six cents to $36.06. President Trump took to Truth Social to tout what he called signs of a strengthening economy. “Gasoline just broke $1.98 a Gallon, lowest in years, groceries (and eggs!) down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong, and much more good news, as Billions of Dollars pour in from Tariffs,” Trump posted Friday. “Just like I said, and we're only in a TRANSITION STAGE, just getting started!!! Consumers have been waiting for years to see pricing come down. NO INFLATION, THE FED SHOULD LOWER ITS RATE!!!” But the president's claims appear to overstate the situation. According to AAA, the national average price of gasoline is $3.18 per gallon—down from $3.67 a year ago but still far from the $1.98 figure Trump cited. Meanwhile, egg prices remain elevated. A dozen eggs currently cost more than $2.99, the average price a year ago. While the labor market remains stable, ongoing questions about inflation, tariffs and income inequality continue to loom over the administration's economic policies. Learn more about your ad choices.

The U.S. construction industry plays a vital role in theAmerican economy, contributing approximately 4.5% to the GDP. It employs about8.2 million people and generates roughly $2.2 trillion in constructionannually. As a leading economic indicator, the industry often signals changesin the overall economic landscape, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I'm Zach Friedensohn, and I am not your typical generalcontractor. Since 2013, I have been deeply involved in the constructionindustry, blending hands-on experience with a business-oriented approach. Afterearning my degree in business and real estate from the University of NorthTexas, I dove headfirst into the industry, managing subcontractors on largecapital projects while often getting directly involved in the work myself. Thishands-on experience has shaped my leadership style and my approach to operatinga construction company. In 2019, I co-founded my first construction firm and gainedfirsthand insight into what it takes to build a successful business in ademanding industry. This journey led me to establish G&R Construction, adesign-build firm that specializes in commercial projects throughout theAtlanta area. Our work spans a variety of projects, from full-scale renovationsto ground-up developments, including Redan Plaza, the Ryder Training Center,and several mixed-use developments. One crucial lesson I've learned is that constructioninvolves much more than just building—it encompasses leadership, communication,and trust. At G&R Construction, I have made it my mission to redefineclient expectations for contractors. Our emphasis on reliability, transparency,and a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach sets us apart in an industry oftenlacking these qualities. I run one of the fastest-growing general contractingcompanies in the Southeast, with over $3 million in booked projects thisyear—and we're just getting started. Our team of five is rapidly expanding aswe take on more commercial projects and scale G&R Construction. For more information: https://www.g-rconstruction.com/ Email: zach@g-rconstruction.comom

The teenager accused of fatally stabbing another student in Frisco earlier this month is set to appear in court Monday to learn whether his $1 million bond would be reduced.Karmelo Anthony, 17, has been in Collin County jail on a murder charge for more than a week. In other news, between December 2024 and March 2025, the average price per dozen jumped from $4.15 to $6.23, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Officials link these price increases to bird flu; the Agricultural industry relies on immigrant labor, but with President Donald Trump's immigration policies — including his promise of mass deportations — it could cause widespread pain and it creates an uncertain future. More than 27% of Texas farmworkers are immigrants; and U.S. consumer sentiment tumbled to the second-weakest reading on record while short- and long-term inflation expectations soared to multidecade highs on growing tariff concerns. The preliminary April sentiment index slid 6.2 points to 50.8, according to the University of Michigan, below economists' forecasts. Aside from a 50 reading in June 2022, that was the lowest in surveys dating back to the 1970s. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Debates exist around AI's influence on software engineering, with varied viewpoints from tech leaders. Okta's CEO, Todd McKinnon, challenges the idea that AI will replace software engineers, stating the number of engineers will increase in the next five years. He highlights that technological advancements consistently create a demand for more engineers. McKinnon points out that while AI can handle simpler coding tasks, engineers will concentrate on system design and complex problem-solving. Although recent data indicates a decline in job openings for software engineers since the pandemic, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 17% growth in software developer roles from 2023 to 2033, resulting in around 328,000 new positions. Okta currently holds a market value over $15 billion and serves approximately 18,000 clients globally.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

How Is Living in Maine Different Than Visiting?Maine is one of the most beautiful states in the country—and if you've ever visited, you probably already know that. The rocky coastline, charming lobster shacks, peaceful lighthouses, and fresh ocean air make it an unforgettable vacation spot.But what's it really like to live in Maine?As a local Realtor who helps people Make Maine Your Home, I've had this conversation with countless clients—many of whom fell in love with Maine during a visit and are now wondering if they should make the leap.Spoiler alert: living in Maine is amazing, but it's a different experience from visiting. Here's what you need to know if you're considering the move.  1. The Pace of Life: Vacationland vs. RealityWhen you're here for a week, it's all about coastal drives, seafood feasts, and soaking in the scenery. But living here means experiencing the rhythm of Maine life—slower, more intentional, and deeply connected to nature.✅ Remote work is on the rise here—Maine had one of the highest rates in the country in 2023.✅ Life is peaceful, but expect longer drives for essentials, especially in rural areas.✅ Winters are no joke—think snow tires, plowing, and prepping for the power to go out!  2. Cost of Living: More Affordable Than You Think?Compared to neighboring states like Massachusetts or New Hampshire, Maine's real estate is surprisingly affordable.

When people think of public goods, they most likely think of things like parks or schools. But official statistics are also a kind of public good. They help us understand things like housing prices, the costs of goods and the spread of disease. However, this data infrastructure is under threat around the world. The work of official statisticians and the obstacles they face, is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Erika Groshen. Groshen is a senior economics advisor at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations and research fellow at the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. From 2013 to 2017 she served as the 14th commissioner of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the principal federal agency responsible for measuring labor market activity, working conditions and inflation. She's an expert on official statistics, authoring an article in 2021 pondering their future.

It seems, if you want to be countercultural, throw parties and do it regularly. According to the Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics only 4.1 percent of Americans attended or hosted social gatherings on a given weekend or holiday in 2023. When Christians choose to foster community –both within the church and with unbelieving neighbors –we push back the darkness. In a partyless culture, Christians have a strategic opportunity to invite our neighbors to become friends. As author Rosaria Butterfield exhorts, radically ordinary hospitality can allow “strangers to become neighbors, and, by God's power, those neighbors can become part of God's family.” But sometimes getting people through your front door can feel impossible. After all, Americans as a whole aren't accustomed to invites. Hitting roadblocks can be discouraging.Even though it is hard (like really hard), with lots of prayer and creativity, it can be done in many contexts. Listen in for five encouragements for making it happen.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released data on the median salaries of Americans, revealing a significant gap between what people earn and what they feel is necessary to live comfortably.

Our Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen discusses the possible economic implications of restrictive immigration policies in the U.S., highlighting their potential effect on growth, inflation and labor markets.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist. Today I'll talk about the way restrictive immigration policies could potentially slow U.S. economic growth, push up inflation, and impact labor markets.It's Wednesday, February 26th, at 2pm in New York.Lately, investors have been focused on the twists and turns of Trump's tariffs. Several of my colleagues have discussed the issue of tariffs from various angles on this show. But we think the new administration's immigration policy deserves more attention. Immigration is more than just the entry of foreign citizens into the U.S. for residency. It's a complex process with significant implications for our economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of June 2024, 19 per cent of the US workforce was made up of immigrants – which is over 32 million people. This is a significant increase from 1994, when only about 10 per cent of the workforce was foreign-born. Immigrants tend to be employed in sectors like agriculture, construction and manufacturing, but also in face-to-face services sectors like retail, restaurants, hotels and healthcare. Immigration surged to about 3 million per year after the pandemic. In fact, immigration rates in 2022 to 2024 were more than twice the historical run rate. This surge helped the US economy to "soft land" following a period of high inflation. It boosted both the supply side and the demand side of the U.S. economy. Labor force growth outpaced employment, which helped to moderate wage and price pressures. However, Trump's policymakers are changing the rules rapidly and reversing the immigration narrative. Already by the second half of 2024, border flows were slowing significantly based on the lagged effects of steps previously taken by the Biden administration. Under the new administration, news reports suggest immigration has slowed to near zero in recent weeks.In our 2025 year-ahead outlook, we noted that restrictive immigration policies were a key factor in our prediction for slower growth and firmer inflation. We estimate that immigration will slow from 2.7 million last year to about 1 million this year and 500,000 next year. The recent data suggests immigration may slow every more forcefully than we expect.If immigration slows broadly in line as we predict, the result will be that population growth in 2025 will be about 4/10ths of 1 per cent. That's less than half of what the U.S. economy saw in 2024. The impact of slower immigration on labor force measures should be visible over time. For the moment though, there is enough noise in monthly payrolls and the unemployment rate to mask some of the labor force effects. But over three or six months, the impact of slower immigration should become clearer.In terms of economic growth, if immigration falls back to 1 million this year and 500,000 next year, this could reduce the rate of GDP growth by about a-half a percentage point this year and maybe even more next year, and put upward pressure on inflation, particularly in services, and to some extent overall wages. Slower immigration could pull short-run potential GDP growth down from the 2.5-3.0 per cent that we saw in recent years to 2 per cent this year, and 1-1.5 per cent next year. On the other hand, the unemployment rate might fall modestly as immigration controls reduce the number of households with high participation rates and low spending capacity. This could lead to tighter labor markets, moderately faster wage growth, and upward pressure on inflation. So we think we are looking at a two-speed labor market. Slower employment growth will feel soft and sluggish. But a low unemployment rate suggests the labour market itself is still tight. Given all of this, we think more restrictive immigration policies could lead to tighter monetary policy and keep the Fed on its currently restrictive stance for longer. All of this supports our expectation of just one cut this year and further rate cuts only next year after growth slows.Thanks for listening.
