Lower U.S. Birth Rate May Be Linked To Recession

The recession may be the reason why the U.S. birth rate declined for a second year in a row in 2009 and was the lowest in a century, according to experts.

There were 4,136,000 births in 2009, 2.7 percent less than the 4,251,095 births in 2008. There were more than 4.3 million births in 2007, more than any other year in the nation's history, the Associated Press reported.

Investors flee Treasurys on Bernanke's remarks

Bond prices drop after Bernanke tempers expectations that the Fed will need to buy Treasurys


NEW YORK (AP) -- Borrowers, take note: Interest rates may have found their bottom.
Investors pulled money out of Treasurys Friday after expectations faded that the Federal Reserve will need to buy bonds to stimulate the economy.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.65 percent in afternoon trading, up from 2.50 percent late Thursday. The price for the note maturing in August 2020 dropped to $99.781 from $101.25. Bond yields rise when their prices fall.

China's Wen says Japanese companies' wages too low

By ANITA CHANG (AP) – 5 hours ago

BEIJING — Premier Wen Jiabao told a visiting Japanese delegation Sunday that Japanese companies operating in China should address workers' unhappiness over low wages that he says led to labor disputes this year.

Wen's comment comes after Japanese Foreign Miniter Katsuya Okada called for "transparent policies" governing workers in China, saying the labor disputes that halted work at dozens of factories were troubling to Japanese companies.

Sound like the largest socialist country in the world has just UNIONIZED! LMAO :laugh:

Good! Maybe we will import some jobs back to the USA.

How many jobs do you have to create a month to supply jobs to the baseline population growth? Kids graduating and joining the job market in other words.

100,000 to 150,000. Now understand, this number will keep unemployment at 9.6% and not improve it.

How many jobs must be created per month to keep up with baseline population growth and put everyone back to work that lost their job?

300,000 jobs per MONTH.

The number of unemployed persons (14.9 million) and the unemployment rate (9.6 percent) were little changed in August. From May through August, the jobless rate remained in the range of 9.5 to 9.7

percent. (See table A-1.)

About 2.4 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force in August, little changed from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force,
wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the
survey. (See table A-16.)

Among the marginally attached, there were 1.1 million discouraged workers in August, an increase of 352,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.3 million persons marginally attached to the labor force had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.

I have a feeling this unemployment rate is going to be the new normal. Until they change the criteria.

We may not see any remarkable improvement in employment until dumbo eggplant is out of office. Once Obamacare is repealed there will be more opportunity for small businesses to hire knowing their employee costs. The dems did it to themselves with their socialist policies. Look at the failure of the Kansas City school system - all due to liberal policy.

That's what Kyle Bass said in his last CNBC interview. When asked if he saw us turning around, he responded with a question "Have you ever seen a problem solved by kicking the can down the road?" He said he was investing in Asia. And he said buy productive assets.
