Monthly mass layoff events in United States


Back in the February of 2008, I noted in the Recession and mass layoffs that if the mass layoffs increase by a lot then it will be a sign of a recession. Since then the mass layoff events in the US have really gone up by a lot, not surprisingly the US in a deep recession right now. It will be very important to keep an eye on this number as we try to recover from this recession because if the economy starts to improve, the mass layoff number should come down or at least stabilize a little. The chart below shows the mass layoffs in the United States since March 2005. The data table below lists the data used to create the chart.

Payday Advance Online. Rate Report

Equities were up big time on Friday and that trend continues today at the expense of Bond** yields that continue to climb higher on the expectations of better than expected jobs data to be released (that’s right, on the expectation of an expectation) and a better outlook for payday advance online and stronger first quarter earnings. I received three upward rate adjustments on Friday, and expect at least one today based on the market’s performance thus far. Key releases of economic data will begin Wednesday, so watch for those numbers, particularly the new jobs data, to impact the market. It will be interesting to see how the market factors in the Grocery union strike ending and those people going back on the payrolls.

Possible reasons for rate increases and decreases

Image
Possible reasons for rate increases: · A recovering equities market that will take cash from bonds and plant it in stocks. · Real corporate earnings growth based on revenue increases as opposed to cost cutting. · Increased government deficit spending that will cause the government to issue more debt such as financing the war effort or reduced tax revenues.
