      XPost: alt.politics.trump, alt.journalism.newspapers, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns       From: reality_bites@yahoo.com              Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist, Capital Economics              "The bigger-than-expected 339,000 increase in non-farm payroll employment       in May will dominate the headlines, but the employment report was not all       positive — with a big drop in the household survey measure of employment       driving the unemployment rate up to a seven-month high of 3.7% and average       weekly hours worked edging down to a three-year low.              "The upshot is that the Fed can still afford to skip a rate hike in June."              Ellen Zentner, chief US economist, Morgan Stanley              "May payrolls were well above expectations, but households reported a       significant loss of jobs. The report today continues to point to a soft       landing for the economy and should keep market expectations for a July       hike in play."              Lydia Boussour, senior economist, EY              "The labor market has become difficult to decipher but recent data along       with our conversations with business executives indicate that labor market       conditions are softer than the headline payroll print suggests. We       continue to anticipate a deterioration in labor market conditions in       coming months featuring hiring freezes, strategic resizing decisions and       wage growth compression."              Woops..              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
