The U.S. added 143,000 jobs in January, fewer than economists expected, but the unemployment rate inched down to 4% from 4.1%, beating forecasts. Forecasters surveyed by Dow Jones had anticipated 169,000 payroll gains in January, after a surprisingly large 256,000 jump in December.

Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Vanguard would pay more than $100 million to settle charges for misleading statements related to capital gains distributions and tax consequences for retail investors who held Vanguard Investor Target Retirement Funds in taxable accounts.

Major U.S. equities indexes moved lower to close out the trading week as the January jobs report showed slower-than-expected hiring but a down tick in the unemployment rate. Despite the slump in job additions, the overall resilience in the labor market could encourage the Federal Reserve to hold off on additional interest-rate cuts. The S&P 500 and the Dow ended Friday’s session with daily losses of roughly 1.0%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ fell 1.4%.

Most notable this month is the appointment of Tim Noel as the new CEO of UnitedHealthcare after former CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in New York City in December.

LABOR DEPARTMENT: US Jobs

Posted on July 5, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

US ECONOMY

By Staff Reporters

The Labor Department just reported that the U.S. added 206,000 jobs last month, slightly beating expectations. But the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%, a sign of slack in a labor market that has been remarkably strong even in the face of high interest rates.

There were other signs as well that the job market continues to cool. Average hourly earnings were up 3.9% in June from a year earlier, marking their smallest gain since 2021. The jobs counts for both April and May were revised lower. The labor force participation rate, the share of working-age people who were employed or seeking work, ticked up—an indication that more people are entering the labor market.

APRIL 2024: US Hiring Slows

Posted on May 3, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Job growth slowed and unemployment ticked higher last month, marking a break from a string of data showing surprising strength in the labor market.

U.S. employers added a seasonally adjusted 175,00 jobs in April, the Labor Department reported on Friday. That was far less than in March, when gains exceeded 300,000, and also below what economists had expected. The unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9% from March’s 3.8%.

According to the WSJ, wages also rose less than anticipated, increasing 3.9% from a year earlier after rising 4.1% in March.

Friday’s report today is sure to stir immediate debate among economists and investors about whether the labor market is merely cooling in a welcome fashion or starting to show more serious strains under the pressure of higher interest rates.

Treasury yields, which largely reflect investors’ expectations for short-term rates set by the Federal Reserve, fell after the report. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 4.471% in recent trading, according to Tradeweb, down from 4.569% Thursday.

Stock futures climbed, suggesting investors were pleased with the data, which could increase optimism about the outlook for inflation.
