Unemployment is at its lowest rate in more than 50 years, with employers adding nearly 530,000 jobs during the month of July, according to the latest data from the Labor Department. But the strong job gains obscure ominous signs elsewhere, including a historically high rate of inflation, continued supply chain bottlenecks, and staffing shortages related to the pandemic.We talk to three small business owners about what they have been experiencing. Pamela Hayes is the founder and owner of Hue Noir Cosmetics in Beaverton. Thomas Angel is the co-owner and co-founder of Altitude Functional Beverages in Bend. Alfonso Herrera is the owner of Mid-Valley Auto Body and Service Center in Woodburn. They join us to talk about their hopes and fears amid the economic uncertainty.

I should have known better. Last week, I shared with you the latest unemployment numbers - and I took them at face value. Which is where I made my mistake! Of course, if I listen to my own advice from previous podcasts where we looked at unemployment, I would have realized there was likely more to the story than what they are sharing in the headlines. Of course, there is. In fact, the actual data implies the opposite of what the talking heads are suggesting. So lets sit down and take another look at those unemployment numbers and see why we should be more worried than not. #realestate #unemploymentupdate #entrepreneur #realestateinvesting

With so much talk about inflation and a recession, it would seem like the entire economy is shrinking and suffering but really - the labor market is still going strong. Unemployment is at its lowest point in five decades and hiring has surged this summer, with the most recent jobs report exceeding expectations.

He's the vice president of research at Gartner, a consulting firm that advises business leaders around the world including the ones making the hiring decisions.  He shares the most reliable way to make more money in *your* career and why some people still regret taking the plunge. Plus, what inflation is doing to your paycheck now and what many companies are doing instead of giving raises.

Last Friday's US economic data needs to be considered as a whole. Unemployment was the lowest in over fifty years, real earnings growth is horrifically bad, and consumer credit grew dramatically. The positive spin is job security should be high - prime age workers who want to work can find jobs. Job security is a critical factor supporting consumption.

Despite dire warnings of the recent rebound by equities being nothing more than a rally in a bear market, the share prices of selected stocks on both the Nasdaq and JSE continue to move higher as private investors keep throwing cash at their favourites. Among the leaders are a handful of counters in the BizNews share portfolios - and one we missed, Tesla, whose price went back above $925 last night on news of its second share split in recent months - last time it was 5-for-1, this time it's 3-for-1. Headline news from abroad is dire commentary that accompanied yesterday's Bank of England's interest rate hike, its biggest increase in 27 years. That hit the pound and raised worries about the UK experiencing stagflation, the worst of all worlds, where no economic growth is accompanied by high inflation.

As the Fed tries to combat inflation by raising interest rates and cooling down the economy, it risks moving us into a recession and causing a big spike in unemployment.  Now, there is a fight brewing about how big the jump could be or if it will be more of a soft landing like the Fed wants.  As it stands now, there has been a small drop in job openings, but there are still roughly two jobs open for each unemployed worker.  Courtenay Brown, economics reporter at Axios, joins us for the inflation vs. jobs fight.   Next, when it comes to student debt, the fastest-growing demographic of borrowers are those aged sixty-two and older.  Of the forty-five million Americans who have student debt, one in five are over fifty and we have seen their student loan balances increase over 500%.  One example of how bad it can get… a woman took out a $29,000 federal loan in 1983, she is now 91 and owes more than $329,000.  Eleni Schirmer, organizer with the Debt Collective and contributor to The New Yorker, joins us for how more Americans are aging into their debt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An economist says low unemployment rates appear largely positive on the surface but is likely to cause financial headaches, especially for small businesses. Unemployment is expected to hit a record low when the official numbers are released this morning. ANZ economist, Finn Robinson, told Morning Report that falling unemployment can cause problems if wage growth is well ahead of productivity growth. He says often this leaves businesses with no choice but to pass the increased wage costs on to customers, sparking more inflation.

Sorry about the delay. I am working on a Zelle book and it has been hard to record. Ironically my first topic is about Zelle. WCVB in Boston had a story about a local man who was attacked by cyber criminals who commandeered his online banking to send themselves $3000 via Zelle from his online banking despite his texts not authorizing the transaction. Ben Simmoneau, the reporter, got the money back for this man and had a nuanced point about Reg E, which is supposed to protect customers from fraud. Bank of America of course did nothing UNTIL the news story came out...like always. Plus I talk about BofA Earnings, and how a $400MM amount was set aside to take care of 2 settlements. First one was something we talked about. $225MM fine for Unemployment issues. The other $200MM? For improper use of personal devices. I discuss the grey area that bankers have with customers info and talking amongst themselves. During WFH in 2020 with COVID sending people home to work, a lot likely happened to warrant this potential fine, which I believe ended up causing people to go back into the office more than anything else that was going on. Plus, I discuss the direction of my BofA book in light of recent events that happened in my life!

Summary: Is inflation going to continue, and what effect does this have on your retirement? Retirement expert Nathan Cox comes on the show to talk about how to adjust your strategy for investing/retirement in light of what we're experiencing in the current economy. Indications of a recession mean that we must re-think our investments, which includes being more selective and making sure that your income is generated naturally. Tune in to this episode to hear Nathan's advice on setting yourself up for success. Highlights: -Inflation was running a bit over expectations and came out around 9.1% -What we do largely depends on what the Fed decides to do in response to inflation -They can increase interest rates, but they don't have any control over the supply chain issue -People remember the 2008 recession, which was an immediate effect -Our current situation is progressing much more slowly -Unemployment is the lagging indicator -We could be in the recessionary position very quickly, and by the formal definition of recession we are technically already there -The Fed is probably going to have to continue raising rates through 2023 rather than raising and then backing off -Supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine are making things more complex -The majority of Americans were relying on things like the 401k, but it's smart to be more selective with your investment strategy—focusing on quality and dividends -What investments are more protected from inflation? Make sure your income is being generated naturally; don't exclusively rely on growth and capital appreciation Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Retirement Income Solutions
