Smoking Hot Economy Added 13,000 Private Sector Jobs Added in June

[dear readers…I fixed bc3b’s thread title. He mistakenly used the word “Only“, instead of “Smoking Hot Economy” to start the title.]

Yes sir, that Stimulus is really causing the employment to rebound. In June the private sector added a whopping 13,000 jobs. Things are really falling apart. It’s even going to be tough for the pro-Obama media to put lipstick on this pig.

U.S. private employers added just 13,000 jobs in June, according to a report published Wednesday that suggested expectations of a big drop in the government’s upcoming nonfarm payrolls report were on target.

The ADP Employer Services report also said May’s gain was revised marginally higher to 57,000 from the original estimate of 55,000.

That revision was basically the only good news, however, in a report that under-shot expectations of a rise of 60,000 private-sector jobs in June.

It also supported fears that the short and tepid recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s was fizzling.

“There is really no way to characterize this number other than disappointing,” said Macroeconomic Advisers LLC chairman Joel Prakken, whose firm jointly developed the ADP report. “The overall number tells you that the recovery in the jobs market is very, very sluggish at this point.”

The ADP figures come ahead of the government’s much more comprehensive labor market report Friday.

That report is expected to show a fall in nonfarm payrolls of 110,000 in June overall, as many temporary workers hired to complete the government’s decennial census were let go.

“It is now generally expected that the peak level of census employment was in May and that in June there will be a decline in census hiring,” Prakken said. “And for that reason I think it’s very likely that the number reported Friday is going to be a negative number.”

    If memory serves the economy has to generate ~300k+ jobs just to stay even with demographics. We have not seen that figure consistently in over two years. So we are deeply in the hole.

    I would hate to be a teenager looking for a summer job.

    So what might we see between now and EOY. How about the stock market sits on its haunches for the summer between 9-10,000. Then we will see a quick pickup 4Q as people finalize any sell offs this year before taxes kick everyone in the butt next year. After that its another double dip slide. Sigh….

    (CNN) — A Missouri VA hospital is under fire because it may have exposed more than 1,800 veterans to life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV.

    John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis has recently mailed letters to 1,812 veterans telling them they could contract hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) after visiting the medical center for dental work, said Rep. Russ Carnahan.

    Just great. 🙄

    Yesterday I was listening to author/economist Stephen Moore on a radio program. He gave a little snippet of what kind of taxes to expect in 2011.

    Capital gains will go from 15% to 20%. In 2013 it is scheduled to go up to around 23.4%.

    Death taxes will go up to 55% (being zero this year), with a lowered individual exemption of one million dollars.

    The kicker, though, is the capital gains that will be attached to dividend income. It will go from a current 15%, climbing to a staggering 39% in 2011!

    If Moore’s statements are correct it will effect those, especially seniors, who oftentimes depend on SS and dividend income to sustain themselves. I also wonder how anticipation of this tax gouge will effect the stock market, in general. Will people do a mass sell-off at the end of ’10, to avoid a higher capital gains?

    Do not forget the coming increase from the HC bill in medicare taxes, oh and the 1099 things which is really a thinly disguised tax increase\ increased business expense.

    ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.
    Not because of the taxes, but because of the revolts.
    It will cause more job losses.
    2011 is it!
    GAME OVER.
    Thanks for playing!

    Thomas Sowell had another one of his eye-opening/common sense columns a couple of weeks ago about a table in the book Out of Work: Unemployment and Government in Twentieth-Century America that listed unemployment rates for every month during the entire decade of the 1930s.

    Those who think that the stock-market crash in October 1929 is what caused the huge unemployment rates of the 1930s will have a hard time reconciling that belief with the data in that table.

    Although the big stock-market crash occurred in October 1929, unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months after that crash. Unemployment peaked at 9 percent, two months after the stock market crashed — and then began drifting generally downward over the next six months, falling to 6.3 percent by June 1930.

    This was what happened in the market, before the federal government decided to “do something.”…

    Hoover intervened in June 1930, with these results:

    Within six months after this government intervention, unemployment shot up into double digits — and stayed in double digits in every month throughout the entire remainder of the 1930s, as the Roosevelt administration expanded federal intervention far beyond what Hoover had started.

    Uh oh, INC, off to the re-education kamp for you, as you simply do not understand history the way it was re-written. Er, as it happened. Yes, history as it happened, you just aren’t getting it.

    Hey, beej & KH, as long as I can be in Thomas Sowell’s group I won’t worry! I figure he will re-educate the re-educators!

    Perhaps cause a few of those turncoats to turn their coats yet again!
