Note on Economic Modeling Data
"Our data is used by many to research and understand regional employment trends and dynamics. It's composed of comprehensive information on industries, occupations, demographics — as well as things like occupational skills, education, training, and even the names and size of companies in your region broken down by industry.

To do this we link nearly 90 data sources — from federal sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics to state and private sources.

If you've ever worked with this sort of information, you know it can be hard to collect and present. It's also often incomplete and outdated. So we organize the data, bring it up to date, and build software and reports around it so you can put it to use more quickly and effectively"

Job Table Notes

  • Data is as of May 31, 2011
  • 2011 comparison is to December 31, 2010
  • Job gains in 2011 are higher than reported by the BLS. I see no reason to believe the BLS.
  • Since December 2007, the economy has lost 6,318,546 jobs
  • In 2011, the big job gainer is not healthcare but "administration"
  • Healthcare and Education are the two bright spots throughout the recession.

The 6.3 million jobs lost since the beginning of 2008 is deceptively low. The Economy should have been gaining 1.8 milling jobs a year, not losing jobs. In other words, the economy is down 10 to 12 million jobs from where it should be.

Thanks to Ross Perez at Tableau Software and also to Economic Modeling Specialists for this post.

Italian Bank Stocks Plunge, Trading Suspended; Juncker Principle in Action

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 07:13 AM PDT

Italy, the big elephant in the room that the EU does not even see yet, may be waking up. Please consider, Italian Banks Plunge on Debt Concern
Italian banks slumped in Milan trading amid concern the European debt crisis may spread just as lenders face scrutiny from regulators over capital levels.

UniCredit SpA (UCG), Italy's biggest bank, and Intesa Sanpaolo SpA (ISP), the second-largest, led lenders lower, tumbling as much as 8.9 percent and 7.2 percent respectively. Both stocks were briefly suspended after breaching limits on intraday swings. Italian 10-year bonds fell, increasing the additional yield investors demand to hold the securities instead of benchmark German bunds to the most since the euro was introduced in 1999.

"Contagion fears keep re-emerging as long as credible, lasting solutions in Greece are pending," said Christian Weber, a Munich-based strategist at UniCredit.

Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said today the country's banks are "well capitalized." Speaking at a summit of European leaders in Brussels, Berlusconi said he wasn't worried about Moody's comments about the country's banks.

The European Banking Authority yesterday updated its stress tests to take into account extra trading losses that banks may face on their holdings of sovereign debt from crisis-hit European Union countries including Greece.

Italian banks are also seeking to raise money from investors to bolster capital. Unione di Banche Italiane ScpA (UBI), Italy's fourth-biggest bank, fell as much as 5 percent to 3.628 euros. The lender may struggle to lure buyers to its 1 billion- euro ($1.4 billion) rights offering, which closes today. The bank is offering investors eight new shares at 3.808 euros for every 21 held.
Juncker Principle in Action

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi appears to be following the "Juncker Principle".

Jean-Claude Juncker, Luxembourg PM and Head Euro-Zone Finance Minister says "When it becomes serious, you have to lie".

Italian banks are in a scramble to raise capital even though the prime minister assures us that its banks are "well capitalized."

Actions speak louder than lies.

What Changed? Nothing; Bond Market Displays Big Yawn

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 04:51 AM PDT

Those watching the stock market ramp yesterday might be wondering if something meaningful had happened. Nothing did. The EU agreed to give Greece more money, but everyone knew they would anyway.

Let's take a look at sovereign bond spreads to see what they think about the non-news.

10-Year Debt Greece - Yield 16.8%



10-Year Debt Spain - Yield 5.6%



10-Year Debt Ireland - Yield 11.89%



10-Year Debt Portugal - Yield 11.37%



10-Year Debt Italy - Yield 4.94%



In case of differences between charts and listed values, go with listed values. Bloomberg interactive charts are delayed. Listed values are as of 6:40 AM Central 2011-06-24.

Big Yawn

The stock market reacted as if there was news, the bond market put out the big yawn. Greek yields came down slightly, but that is simply reflective of the can-kicking exercise.

Spanish yields essentially did nothing, while Irish and Portuguese yields hit new highs.

Spain and Italy are poised to smack Trichet, the ECB, EU, and the IMF the smack across the face and it's just a matter of time before they do. Meanwhile the action in Irish and Portuguese bonds shows the immense stress did not go away.
