I am getting rumblings of the US heading to a deflationary period here soon. The one article I want to read is on WSJ but pay walled. Looks like it is just rumors. You hear anything?
mazzyx
lots of such rumblings when QE was ended. i guess the swiss franc explosion has made the discussion explode again.
Maybe that's the only way for the US to get meaningful (de facto) wage inflation
real wage increases at 5.6% unemployment? well, maybe. it's really disappointing to return to the political economy of the cross of gold strong dollarism a century onwards, though
Isn't 5.6% pretty close to "full employment"?
Yes and no.
4% or so is full employment or kind of the goal.
But also our employment numbers are really fucked and messed with to look better than they are. We have a lot of underemployment and still a good chunk of folks who probably want jobs but stopped looking due to the market.
Is it a bad idea to wear a purple (eggplant) dress shirt when meeting up with a girl I have a 50/50 shot of banging? Does it change anything if she is bi?

whoa. apparently i drank a little too much last night. Drunk me set an alarm that just went off with information from a conversation i dont remember having.
you were in a cab posting 'whhhhheeeeeeeeeee' over and over
It's weird at forum gatherings where some people you address by their real names and others you address by forum names. Either because you don't know the persons real name or you just prefer their forum name (such as skippy).
Like hakkes and beast.
I will call her by her real name.
But beast will be beast.
I still call him beast on occasion and he is beast in my phone. And I've seen him naked!
wife is in my phone as porp (used to be landporpoise then we just shortened that to porpoise then eventually just porp)
it irks her to no end
"WHAT IF YOU GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY CANT FIGURE OUT WHO TO CALL"
well sweetie if they check my texts and see 1 million "when are you coming home" and "don't even think about coming up here to try and bone while i'm nursing" from "Porp" I think they will figure it out

WHATS UP UNEXPECTED THREE DAY WEEKEND
GET DUNKED ON NON-MERICANS
What socialist fantasy job do you have that give you MLK day off?
It's a national freakin' holiday
if the post office is closed, WE'RE CLOSED!
You know what would be nice.
If 'national holiday' meant employers were required to give time off for those days.
Its hard to do because its not like every single business is going to be closed. You going to make it so you can't get gas on Labor Day?
But it should be time and a half for hourly workers and a holiday for salaried workers (with extra pay if you have to come in)
(I get 12)
It's easy.
If people have to work that day they get double time. You get paid for working, you get paid for the holiday.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws

unemployment never captures long term unemployed here
it is a problem
if you give up looking for work, you aren't "unemployed"
yep.
my wife will likely never work again
should she count in the unemployment stats if she's effectively out of the labor pool?
it's a tricky business. I assume that's why BLS tracks it 6 different ways (plotting U3 vs U6 is p interesting IMO).
BLS and the Fed track a whole bunch of variables. Yellen-sama actually doesn't use the base unemployment rate for decision making.
You can track a difference between those out of the workforce voluntarily like your wife or a retiree and those forced out of the workforce who still wish to work. In fact it is tracked by basically having the description, "Wants to work but not actively looking."

In reality real unemployment in the US is probably around 8 to 10%.
I know that's kinda the common thought on it but it doesn't add up. If anything I think its a Simpson paradox situation
Fewer 16-19 are entering the workforce, which is actually good. All other groups haven't changed substantially recently. There's a smaller 20-24 drop off too, but a lot of that is college. The other age brackets are showing very little change in labor force participation with low overall unemployment numbers.
What little change there is comes from long term trends
but we're still well above the labor participation rate when growth was best for the US due to women's participation in the work place
For the first time at my new job, I feel I am doing bad work. Like, what I am doing today is actually hindering the productivity of the company and everyone knows it. My boss has the final say though. So now I get to make everyone's job harder while he sits on his iron throne in North Carolina.
Please tell me this is a rarity in the corporate world.

I fucking love that place. There is one about 10 minutes from my folks in Castle Rock.
Their burritos are good but what sells it is the green chili. That shit is a fucking treasure.
So good.
Also so fucking cheap.
