According to the BLS at least, some 155,000
seasonally adjusted jobs were added in December, arbitrarily goalseeked as they
may have been. Where were they? Here is the answer:
----
----
Putting the exclamation point on a trend that
has marked Obama's entire presidency, in the final Obama jobs report, the BLS
announced that the total number of people not in the labor force grew
once more, rising by 18,000 in December, and a whopping 841,000 in the past
three months, to a new all time high of 95.102 million Americans no longer in
the workforce.
----
----
With Wall Street expecting a 178K payrolls
print for president Obama's final full monthly December jobs report, the
headline December nonfarm payrolls increase of just 156K is likely to
disappoint. However, the poor December headline number will be offset by the
sizable upward revision to the November number, which rose to 204K, as well as
the big jump in average hourly wages which rose 0.4% in Obama's last full
month.
----
----
There is a simple reason why the vast majority of American workers,
some 82% of them, are not feeling any wage growth: THERE SIMPLY ISN'T ANY.
----
----
Following October's pre-election surge in new
factory orders, November saw orders plunge 2.4% MoM (worse than expected) and the biggest drop since Aug 2014.
This drop comes despite a 103% MoM
rise in defense aircraft orders as non-defense aircraft orders
crashed 73.8%. Factory Orders also dipped back into negative territory YoY.
----

The only other time in history where the Dow advanced 5000 points over
a 24-month period was during the 1998-1999 period of “irrational exuberance” as
the Fed was fighting the fears an inflationary advance, while valuations were
rising and GDP growth rates were slowing. Maybe it’s just coincidence. Maybe “this time is different.”
Or it could just be the inevitable beginning of the ending of the current bull
market cycle.
…
With Janet Yellen and the Fed once again chasing an
imaginary inflation“boogeyman” (inflation is currently lower
than any pre-recessionary period since the 1970’s) the tightening of
monetary policy, with already weak economic growth, may once again prove
problematic.
If price acceleration
in the market is a sign of investor optimism, then the chart recently published
by MarketWatch should raise some alarm bells. See image at: http://realinvestmentadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Dow-Milestones-Chart.png

When asked about the economic outlook for America, millennials were the only generation to
predict 2017 would be worse than 2016. As Bloomberg
reports, the feeling of impending doom wasn't exclusively reserved for
2017: about a third of
millennials surveyed said they don't think they'll have enough money to
comfortably retire at all.

WASHINGTON BLOG
Posted on January 6, 2017 by Charles
Hugh Smith
It’s easy to quantify the annual
cost of Social Security/Medicare, and not so easy to calculate the cost of
Cartel Cronyism and Central Bank-created inflation. Cartel cronyism
is a hidden tax on the entire economy, as is Central Bank-created
inflation.
That makes it easy for the financial-political Oligarchy to
continue their skimming operations, because nobody says Cartel Cronyism cost us $1 trillion last year, and central
bank skimming (inflation) cost us another $1 trillion.
The stark reality is there are
limits on what we as a nation can afford in the long term. Borrowing
trillions of dollars annually at low rates of interest creates a
magical-thinking illusion that we can just tack on another $10 trillion, or
what the hay, make it $100 trillion, and get away with it, because we’ve gotten
away with it so far.
This leaves us an equally stark
choice: we can only afford
one of these three crushing costs:
1. Limited Social
Security/Medicare (no nation can
afford unlimited anything, including healthcare)
2. Central bank inflation/credit
expansion. All central banks desperately want higher inflation,
which acts as an economy-wide tax on wage earners whose incomes are not rising
along with inflation.
3. Cartel Cronyism You know the drill: regulatory capture, monopolies
enforced by the central state, cartels that eliminate competition via absurdly
complex regulations imposed by the state, etc.
