Labor Day jobs report shows 54,000 lost, small rise in unemployment
Posted by www.go4outsourcing.com
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its “all-important” jobs report on Sept. 3, the morning before Labor Day weekend. CNN rapidly found the “bright spot” in a report that showed a net loss of 54,000 jobs and a higher 9.6 percent unemployment rate.
“American Morning” co-anchor Kiran Chetry announced the report by saying “It’s good news, but it’s not good news.” Still, she maintained the mainstream media’s spin by focusing on private-sector jobs gains of 67,000 even though that is cold comfort to the 14.9 million people who are unemployed.
That CNN segment ignored negative information that would have provided important context. The BLS reported that there are still 1.1 million discouraged workers (too discouraged to even look for work) and another 1.3 million people working part-time who want full-time work instead.
Chetry and fill-in co-anchor Ali Velshi discussed the breaking news report with two guests who were even more upbeat: Leigh Gallagher of Smart Money magazine and Shawn Tully of Fortune magazine.
Tully told CNN viewers, “This is actually not such bad news because we are looking at unemployment rates in the U.S. we really haven’t seen since the early 1980s. And in the early 1980s the comeback was extremely strong, unemployment dropped very, very sharply. In the U.S. we’ve never had 10 percent unemployment rates for long periods.”
Conservative economists argue that Reagan’s tax cuts were part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped and the economic comeback happened. President Obama has not proposed dramatically cutting tax rates and, in fact, seems willing to let the more modest tax cuts of President George W. Bush expire at the end of 2010.
Tully told CNN “we’re now in the upcycle,” and said a double-dip recession was unlikely. Gallagher happily noted that the unemployment report beat expectations.
But neither CNN host nor their guests pointed out how high real unemployment is or how many jobs we would need per month to “catch up” the 8.4 million jobs lost in the recession.
According to CNBC’s Rick Santelli the increase of 0.1 percent to a 9.6 percent unemployment rate just means “real unemployment is in the teens.” Bloomberg said that the underemployment rate is now 16.7 percent.
CNBC’s Erin Burnett also brought context to the story on MSNBC, saying that news was “definitely better than expected,” but cautioned that it doesn’t make up for what has been lost.
“I would note though, we obviously lost 8.4 million jobs during the financial crisis so to catch up with that you need to have 200,000 jobs or more [added] a month,” Burnett said.
The media’s desperate attempts to positively spin jobs reports since Obama was elected contrast with the way they tried to talk down the economy during the Bush presidency.
ABC, CBS and NBC failed to criticize Obama even while on his watch the most jobs had been lost in a year since 1940. The mainstream media have also given Obama a pass on grandiose promises about how many millions of jobs the stimulus package would create.
Contrast that with the media’s coverage of unemployment under Republican President George W. Bush when unemployment was roughly half of what it is now. In Feb. 2006, when 193,000 jobs had been added and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent: the lowest rate since July 2001. CBS and ABC evening shows ignored the drop in unemployment, while CNN found “mixed” news in the report.
A January 2006 Special Report from the Business & Media Institute found that the networks in particular emphasized layoffs in a year that 2 million new jobs had been created. Negative stories about corporate layoffs and outsourcing made up more than half the stories on jobs or unemployment.

Companies Add 67K Workers, but Jobless Rate Rises
Private employers hired more workers over the past three months than first thought, a glimmer of hope for the weak economy ahead of the Labor Day weekend. But the unemployment rate rose because not enough jobs were created to absorb the growing number of people looking for work. Companies added a net total of 67,000 new jobs last month and both July and June’s private-sector job figures were upwardly revised, the Labor Department said Friday. Stocks surged after the report’s release. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 100 points in afternoon trading and broader indexes were all up. While the report hardly suggests the economy is out of danger, it’s a reassuring sign after weeks of troubling data and comes after some encouraging economic figures in the past week. Scott Brown, an economist at Raymond James, said he sees no sign of the country slipping back into recession. “You’re still seeing broad-based job gains. It’s not strong, but it’s positive,” Brown said. Overall, the economy lost 54,000 jobs as 114,000 temporary census positions came to an end. For the first time this year, the manufacturing sector lost jobs — down a net total of 27,000 for the month. The auto industry accounted for 22,000 of those lost jobs, the department said. But those losses were largely due to a shift in the timing of the industry’s summer shutdowns. State and local governments shed 10,000 positions and have had net jobs losses in every month but one this year. President Barack Obama said the report shows the economy is moving in the right direction. But he said further action is needed to help bring back the 8.4 million jobs lost during the downturn. “It reflects the steps we’ve already taken to break the back of this recession. But it’s not nearly good enough,” Obama said. He called on Congress to extend the Bush administration’s tax cuts for middle-class Americans and to pass a bill that would increase lending and reduce taxes for small businesses.

President Obama Reacts to August Jobs Numbers, Doesn’t Mention Net Job Loss of 54K
Flanked by members of his economic team – including outgoing Council of Economic Advisers Dr. Christina Romer, whose replacement has yet to be named – President Obama chose to look at the silver lining in the economic clouds of today’s jobs report – not even mentioning that August saw a net job loss of 54,000 jobs. “In the month I took office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month,” the president said. “This morning, new figures show the economy produced 67,000 private sector jobs in August, the eighth consecutive month of private job growth. Additionally, the numbers for July were revised upward to 107,000. Now that’s positive news, and it reflects the steps we’ve already taken to break the back of this recession.” The net job loss for August is largely because of the layoffs of 114,000 Census temporary workers. When May’s job numbers showed a net increase of 431,000 jobs – 411,000 of which were Census jobs — the president did note that “most of these jobs this month that we’re seeing in the statistics represent workers who’ve been hired to complete the 2010 census.” But in those June 4 remarks the president didn’t detail just how many of the 431,000 jobs were Census jobs – 95% of them — and he cited the overall report, and its deceptively large number as evidence that businesses are “starting to hire again. Workers who were laid off, they’re starting to get their jobs back. Companies that were almost forced to close their doors are making plans to expand and invest in new equipment.” Today the president refrained from mentioning the net job loss of 54,000 jobs, or ever that August brought a net job loss. He said that the 67,000 private sector jobs created were “not nearly good enough” and said he would “in the weeks ahead” be detailing “further steps to create jobs and keep the economy growing, including extending tax cuts for the middle class and investing in the areas of our economy where the potential for job growth is greatest.” As he did Monday, the president again called on Congress “to make passing a small-business jobs bill its first order of business when it gets back into session later this month,” and scolded Senate Republicans for having “blocked this bill, a needless delay that has led small-business owners across this country to put off hiring, put off expanding and put off plans that will make our economy stronger.” Asked what the other incentives will be, the president said he would be “addressing a broader package of ideas next week.” Asked to what degree he regrets his administration’s decision to call this Recovery Summer, the president stammered then said, “I don’t regret the notion that we are moving forward, but because of the steps that we’ve taken. And I’m going to have a press conference next week, where, after you guys are able to hear where we’re at, we’ll be able to answer some specific questions.” He emphasized: “the key point I’m making right now is that the economy is moving in a positive direction, jobs are being created; they’re just not being created as fast as they need to, given the big hole that we experienced…We’re moving in the right direction. We just have to speed it up.”

CNN’s ‘Glass One-Quarter Full’ Spin: Emphasize Private Job Gains
Posted by www.go4outsourcing.com.

New Apple TV runs same custom A4 processor as iPhone 4, iPad
Posted by www.ipad-site.net
The new, smaller Apple TV announced Wednesday will stream 720p HD video thanks to the same custom-built ARM A4 processor found inside the iPhone 4, iPad and the new iPod touch.
On the technical specifications page for the new Apple TV, the company prominently advertises that the new $99 device features the A4 processor. Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs also noted during his keynote Wednesday that the fourth-generation iPod touch has also gained the A4, but that feature is not listed on the product’s tech specs page.
The previous generation Apple TV was based on an Intel processor and included a 160GB hard drive.
The A4 processor first appeared earlier this year in the iPad. The creation of it was made possible through the purchases of chipmakers Intrinsity and PA Semi.
Its inclusion in the new Apple TV makes it the first A4-powered device that does not have access to the App Store.
Prior to its announcement, there were rumors that Apple would run the its iOS operating system and make the App Store available for the new iTV. While the software behind the new Apple TV was not detailed, the company made no mention of iOS or the App Store in Wednesday’s presentation.
The new Apple TV will offer compatibility with iOS devices, however, which can be used as a remote control for the set top box and will also be able to stream photos and videos to a user’s HDTV over Wi-Fi.
In addition to an A4 processor, the new Apple TV also includes HDMI for 720p high definition video out with 5.1 sound. It also has separate optical audio for compatibility with receivers that do not accept 5.1 over HDMI.
The device also has an Ethernet port and 802.11B/G/N Wi-Fi for streaming. Because the cloud-centric device has no available internal storage, it is intended for renting and streaming content.

There is no mystery to financial success … it is only a matter of mind over money!
Myth: “If only we had more money coming in, everything would work out.”
Reality: More income (sales) does not necessarily change the bottom line. More money coming in is usually matched by more money going out. This is because most businesses are “programmed” for a certain relationship between income and outflow. The chain must be broken … discipline must be put in place so that profit is made at the level of revenues at the present time!
Myth: “Financial success … well being is defined by how much money the company earns.”
Reality: Financial success is really about how much a business keeps of what it “earns” not how much it earns. To build “wealth”, a company must consistently earn more than it spends. Profit! Profit! Profit!….. Profit!
Myth: “In an inflationary economy, using credit … borrowing .. is wise because it allows the company to buy what it needs (wants) and pay it off later … when money will be worth less.”
Realty: Debt is bondage and in most cases should be avoided whenever possible.
Myth: “Once in debt, it is almost impossible to get out.”
Reality: Debt can be learned from and reversed. The first step is to alter the behavior that created the debt. The second is to work out a plan with the debtors to work it down.
Myth: “If the economy were better, we’d make more money.”
Realty: Putting the blame outside the company does nothing to solve the company’s money problems. Some company is “getting the work” … how do you insure that it is your company?
Myth: “Money is the root of all evil.”
Reality: In business … money .. profit .. is the only reason to exist. The profit the company makes allows the owners, the employees, the vendors, and the customers to contribute more to the economy and their individual life styles … quality of life. Without PROFIT there is no employment or growth!
