Dan joins us again to discuss the implications of the massive negative revisions to nonfarm payrolls for the period April 2024 to March 2025. In addition, we discuss recent rising CPI figures and the conundrum facing the Federal Reserve; namely, the conflict in its inflation and employment mandates.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a projection of a worsening economy.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on September 11th, 2025. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter and producer: Michael Walsh

In this episode, we talk a lot about the job market, which is anything but hot, and its implications for the Fed, which is under pressure. All of the below tend to support President Trump's criticism of Powell being “too late”: weakening job growth this summer (only +22k jobs in August, mostly in health care). likelihood of significant negative revisions this week. unemployment that would be over 5% if not for lower labor force participation. Although unemployment is not an issue (yet), the risk in the labor market is a dearth of new jobs, with the odds of finding a job if you lose on today only 45%, the lowest level in over 12 years. We believe that AI is having an outsized effect on job openings, especially at the entry level. All of these factors, along with a shift away from a focus on inflation by the Fed, support the market's consensus view of a rate cut being on tap for next week, with two or three more likely to follow in quick succession. Historically, this has been a positive for equity markets if (and that is a big if) a recession can be avoided. the Fed has cut rates after an extended pause (like the one we are in now) eight times in the last forty years; four times we avoided a recession, and markets gained, on average, around 15%. the other four times, we entered a recession, with markets typically experiencing a 10-15% drawdown. Although there are some parallels between now and the late 1990s, valuations are not quite as stretched at the top, with the median P/E of the top 10 stocks around 31x versus a 41x multiple in 1999. However, investor allocation to equites is now at 55%, above its prior peak in 1999. We also discuss the reasons why, despite Fed rate cuts, the all important 10-year yield may not cooperate. Chief among these are the lagged impact of tariffs on prices and the relatively high (and growing) level of U.S. government debt. Will the U.S. be forced to suppress yields a la the bank of Japan in order to unlock the housing market, and is that what is causing tempers to flare between members of the administration?

CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals. 1942 LANCASTER CITY

The August jobs report shows the U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs, far below expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, the highest since 2017 outside the pandemic.  In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, including which industries are adding jobs, where losses are showing up, and why long-term unemployment is on the rise. You'll also hear how markets reacted, with Treasury yields dropping, mortgage rates hitting new yearly lows, and investors betting on a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. For real estate investors, Kathy explains how falling mortgage rates could open refinancing and buying opportunities, while a weaker labor market may signal challenges ahead for rental demand and consumer confidence.

Dante joins the Inside Economics team to talk about the August employment report. After another set of weak numbers, Mark declares that the economy has entered a jobs recession. Cris and Marisa agree, but Dante would like to see more evidence. They also discuss how the lack of hiring is disproportionately impacting young workers.

The United States is seeing more of the unemployed than job openings for the first time since 2021. Greg and Holly speak with Senior Economist with Zions Bank, Robert Spendlove, about what this means for the job market.

Thierry Wizman sees a “generally lackluster labor market,” reacting to the ADP report this morning and previewing tomorrow's jobs report. He argues that the Fed will probably still cut rates this month, anticipating the unemployment rate ticking higher as hiring slows. “There's an underlying tone of inflation” that hasn't been reflected in CPI data yet, Thierry adds. He thinks the Fed will approach with caution, cutting only 25 basis points rather than the 50 some hope for. If tariffs are reversed, Thierry expects unease in the bond market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Ray White speaks to suspended Chief Director of Communications at the Department of Social Development, Lumka Oliphant, as questions mount over government spending and internal power struggles. The department is under fire after reports surfaced that it spent roughly R3 million on a delegation to a UN meeting in New York — at a time when millions of South Africans face poverty and unemployment. Critics argue that virtual attendance or smaller delegations could deliver the same diplomatic value at a fraction of the cost. But the story doesn’t end there — Oliphant, who raised red flags about these trips, has been suspended. She alleges that her suspension is politically motivated and tied to internal factional battles within the department. With taxpayers footing the bill and accountability in short supply, the public wants answers: who decides how money is spent, and who’s really calling the shots at Social Development? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ireland's small and medium-sized businesses are facing what some are calling a “silent slowdown,” with serious implications for jobs and the wider economy. According to one of the country's leading accountants, Neil Hughes of Azets Ireland, many SMEs have already burned through their cash reserves and goodwill from suppliers—and are now teetering on the edge of a crisis not seen since 2012. Unemployment has already crept up from 3.9% to 4.9%, and the warning signs are flashing red for thousands of businesses across the country. To get a sense of how this is playing out on the ground and what can be done to support Irish SMEs, Sally-Ann Barrett was joined by Jean McCabe, Clare-based CEO of Retail Excellence Ireland, and owner of Willow and David Broderick, Director of the Small Firms Association.

The advantage of being an old man is that you can remember the past. This gives you a different perspective on current events. But if that old man is foolish enough to share his thoughts, the average person will smile tolerantly and pat him on his head and tell him that he is just “a lovable old dinosaur who is out-of-touch and living in the past.”Screw it. I'm going to go ahead say what I'm thinking.A few years ago, Big Data was going to change the world. Big Data came and went.Then we got excited about ideas that were “disruptive.” Slash-and-burn disruption by a bunch of young pirates was going to change everything.The Blockchain was going to change everything. You couldn't go anywhere without someone blathering about Crypto and NFT's.Now AI is going change everything. And it definitely will, for awhile.Technology saves money by reducing labor costs, which is just a fancy way of saying that technology allows you to replace people with machines. Unemployment will increase, and Trump will blame Obama.And so it goes.I had an appointment in 1977 to meet with a loan officer at First National Bank in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to borrow $1,000.The greeter at the bank sat me in a chair in the waiting room. I was 19 years old.Smart phones did not exist. My only option was to paw through the pile of old magazines on the coffee table in front of me. Can you believe that every one of those magazines was about banking? The banker puts his banking magazines on the coffee table in his lobby when he is finished reading them. And the dentist puts his dental magazines on the coffee table in his lobby. This is how the Business Titans of Smallville keep their costs under control.And they do it for our convenience.I began reading a magazine about banking and it catapulted my brain into a tumbling somersault from which I have never recovered. The feature article was about ATM's, but it didn't call them ATM's. It referred to them as automated teller machines.“The modern bank executive can now reduce his payroll significantly because these new automated teller machines work without pay 24 hours a day, and they never make mistakes.”My eyes were jacked open so wide that I was unable to blink.ATM's were not invented for our convenience! They were invented so that banks could fire 60% of their bank tellers!“These new tellers require no health insurance, no air-conditioned offices, no telephones, no sick days, and they take no vacations. Your customers will thank you for giving them the ability to make deposits and withdrawals 24 hours a day from a variety of convenient locations.”The man I saw in my mind was the banker in the old Monopoly game by Parker Brothers. The way to win the game of Monopoly is to gobble up all the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.I played Monopoly when I was young, but I don't play it anymore.Parker Brothers began selling Monopoly in 1935. But that game's origins trace back to an earlier version called “The Landlord's Game” created by Elizabeth Magie. She crafted her game back in 1904, when Teddy Roosevelt was making his mark on history by curbing the excesses of the richest and most powerful men in America.Google, Apple and Meta still play Monopoly. As do the insurance companies, the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies and the medical corporations that control virtually all the doctors. But the version of Monopoly they play isn't sold by Parker Brothers.To win, all you have to do is gobble up the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are the Republicans on

On this episode of The Rate Guy we urge you to forget CPI—the Fed's watching jobs. Unemployment at 4.2% isn't the good news it looks like. We explain r*, clear up the natural vs. neutral rate confusion, and connect the dots from D.C.'s deficit and the 10 Yr Treasury. 

Ben Emons, noted Fed watcher, explains the latest outlook for rate cut decisions. He discusses how the Fed's dual mandates are muddying the picture ahead of the September decision. Ben thinks the Fed wants to “get ahead of this labor issue” and could cut by 50 basis points. “You cannot control the unemployment rate,” he emphasizes, but the Fed has more control over inflation. While the market is pricing in a series of cuts, he says there's a chance it could be “one and done.” He adds that the Fed is dependent on market expectations as well as data.======== 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

California now has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 5.5%. While the Bay Area's rate is a bit lower than the state's, it is still higher than the national average, and continued tech company layoffs and threats to jobs from AI, have workers worried. We look at the shifting Bay Area labor market. Where are jobs disappearing and what could replace them? Will AI be a net boom or loss for local employment? If you're in the market we want to hear about it. How is the Bay Area labor landscape looking to you?

District courts recorded 4,007 bankruptcies, marking a 19.2 percent increase from the previous year, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Unemployment has also risen sharply, approaching levels not seen in a decade. The number of unemployed stands at 2.98 million, up 170,000 from last year, with 125,000 layoffs announced since July 1, as reported by the Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft. Source: thegatewaypundit.com European Postal Services Suspend Shipment of Packages to US over Tariffs  Multiple postal services around Europe announced Saturday that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties. Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy said they will stop shipping most merchandise to the U.S. effective immediately. France and Austria will follow Monday, and the United Kingdom Tuesday. Under a decree signed by President Donald Trump last month, international goods that were previously exempt from U.S. tariffs – those valued under $800 – will be subject to import duties from Aug. 29. Letters, books, gifts and small parcels worth less than $100 will continue to be exempt. A trade framework agreed by the U.S. and the European Union last month set a 15% tariff on the vast majority of products shipped from the EU. Many European postal services say they are pausing deliveries now because they cannot guarantee the goods will enter the U.S. before Aug. 29. They cite ambiguity about what kind of goods are covered by the new rules, and the lack of time to process their implications. Shipping by services such as DHL Express remains possible, it added   Source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/RebelNewsOnline/status/1958928243794616770     Complete and utter capitulation by Canada.

Meanwhile, the USA keeps 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum against Canada, and Canada only gets 25% tariffs against U.S. steel/aluminum.   Canada has pledged to continue gaslighting their citizens, while wasting time, effort and resources on a hope to retain the USMCA, while refusing to admit to themselves that President Trump intends to dissolve it.
