Looking for takeoff in U.S. jobs

by Sean Bell under Business News

- Sorting out trends in the U.S. labor market is tricky business these days.

There is plenty of evidence to support the view that unemployment is stalled at 8.3 percent for much of the year, and a case to argue that job growth is poised for takeoff.

Three interlocking factors are seen in play – the pace of productivity gains, size of the labor force and the outlook for GDP growth. Dial any one factor up and it can change the jobs outlook significantly.

The consensus for March employment data out on Friday is that 201,000 new jobs were added outside the farm sector, a downshift from the 245,000 average monthly pace the United States has enjoyed since December. This would hold the jobless rate around its current rate of 8.3 percent, unless a surge of people who had been discouraged flood back into the labor market again and again start looking for work.

The optimistic school of economists forecast that job gains could be as high as 275,000 in March and reach 300,000 new jobs a month by later this year.

Obama’s insurance requirement not the only mandate

by Kelly Long under Business Advisor

WASHINGTON (AP) — The individual health insurance mandate that the Supreme Court is reviewing isn’t the only federal dictate involving health care.

There’s a Medicare payroll tax on workers and employers, for example, and a requirement that hospitals provide free emergency services to indigents.

Health care is full of government dictates, and some can be seen as more intrusive than the requirement in President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Most of the mandates apply to service providers such as hospitals and insurers.

One federal health care mandate that affects just about everybody: Workers must pay a tax to finance Medicare, which collects about $200 billion a year.

Even the uninsured pay the Medicare tax.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wondered last week how some social policy mandates could be constitutional and others not.

Stocks rise, extending best start since 1998

by Jamie Price under Business News

Rising consumer spending boosted stocks on Friday, and Wall Street closed its best first quarter since 1998.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 66.22 points to close at 13,212.04. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.19 points to close at 1,408.47. The Nasdaq composite barely moved, falling 3.79 points to close at 3,091.57.

For the quarter, the Dow posted an 8 percent gain and the S&P a 12 percent gain, the best for those indexes in 14 years. The gain was 19 percent for the Nasdaq, its best since 1991.

The Commerce Department said consumer spending rose in February at the fastest rate in seven months. Strong hiring over the past three months has added up to the best jobs growth in two years, putting more people back to work.

Americans spent more even though their income has stagnated for two months after taxes and inflation. Some of the increased spending has gone to gasoline, which is the most expensive on record for this time of year.

Stocks rise as consumers boost spending

by Kelly Long under Business Advisor

Stocks are rising after a report that consumers boosted spending last month even though income was essentially flat.

A few minutes after the opening bell, the Dow Jones industrial average is up 49 points at 13,194. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up almost 6 points at 1,409. The Nasdaq composite has risen 15 points to 3,110.

Friday is the last trading day of the quarter. So far, both the Dow and the S&P 500 have had their best first quarters since 1998.

Stocks in Europe rose, too. Spain unveiled a plan to cut spending and raise taxes on large companies in an effort to reduce its budget deficit.

Asian markets fell after some poor factory production numbers from Japan.
