Like the tread for Government employment.

Hope that trend continues going forward.

There goes another 1200 engineers (4000 cut before). GOOG is going to stuff the paper pushers into the Mart, grab the patents, and turn the real talent into professional dog walkers. So factory is gone, R&D is gone.  Is there a Gecko on the board? Nice going GOOG.

Here is what the chart doesn't tell you: The only real growth is to be found in government sponsored or subsidized sectors like health, education, etc. And how much of construction today is being done on gubmint projects? Plenty I'd say. While it is true that state and local gubmints are reducing outlays and hiring, the Feds are hiring ALL THE TIME.

Professional Business Services?  What is this, the intern who makes the Starbucks run?

It's quite simple explanation.

 

If the economy had died by ENERGY STARVATION, human energy is required to replace the lack of non human energy.

 

One of the reasons slavery was abolished, is because of the the steam engine, electricity, crude oil.

If these things were not discovered, slavery would be quite a big business nowadays and we would still be in the 18th century.

 

Simple, quite simple:

HUMAN ENERGY VS NON HUMAN ENERGY.

Wow, look at all those construction jobs? 

 

So why was the Philly Housing Index (index of construction vendors) down over 4% in the same month?

WSJ and the other drones papers out there calling it a "Brisk Jobs Recovery". Do they even look at the internal drivers, full vs. part time? Do they compare to a year ago or even a recession ago to guage how good it is, comparitivley speaking? Do they even consider 24mm out of work and that 200+ thousand in a month ain't gonna cut it?

More jobs if you cut them in half to avoid Obamacare. Companies do what's best for the bottom line!

Double the jobs and cut the hours.

The report is solid and other indicators (auto sales, durable goods orders, consumer spending, mortgage bankers 'purchase index corroborates this strong job creation.  Rents are rising at the fastest rate in 30 years and high rise apartment complexes cannot be built fast enough in the NYC metro area or New England areas where studio apartments start at over $2,000 a month.  

Professional services includes accounting, finance & IT related jobs which are growing at a pace not seen since the late 1990s.  Soon we will be hearing more about the fed having to engineer a 'soft landing' for the economy and when (not if but when) rates will start rising.
