President Joe Biden on Friday touted the country's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic after the US added 943,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%, but said more work needs to be done to vaccinate the rest of the country amid the Delta variant surge. "My message today is not one of celebration. It's one to remind us we have a lot of hard work left to be done, both to beat the Delta variant and to continue our advance of economic recovery," Biden said, speaking from the White House. But the President argued the strong July jobs numbers showed that his administration's policies were strengthening the economy amid a deadly pandemic that has lasted for about a year and a half. "Now while our economy is far from complete, and while we undoubtedly will have ups and downs along the way as we continue to battle the Delta surge of Covid, what is indisputable now is this: The Biden plan is working. The Biden plan produces results, and the Biden plan is moving the country forward," Biden said.

It was more than the 870,000 jobs economists had expected. Some 253,000 jobs were added in restaurants and bars alone last month. The hospitality and leisure industries, which were decimated by Covid-19 lockdown measures, were once again the biggest contributors of job gains. The June jobs gains were revised up as well, to 938,000 positions added, showing the recovery's strong pace over the summer. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10701 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10706 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10711 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10714 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10726 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10728 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10730 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10734 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10736 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10739 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10741 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10745 Biden also touted the massive $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which would enact key elements of Biden's economic agenda. The President argued the package, which is currently making its way through the Senate, would make key investments in communities across the nation and further boost the US economy and its competitiveness. The President said the Delta variant is "taking a needless toll on our country," primarily among unvaccinated Americans, and urged Americans to get the shot. "Today about 400 people will die because of the Delta variant in this country. A tragedy, because virtually all of these deaths were preventable if people had gotten vaccinated," Biden said. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10764 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10767 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10770 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10775 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10781 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10782 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10787 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10789 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10794 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10798 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10801 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10807 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10809 Many Americans have not gotten vaccinated, and the White House has been working to conduct outreach and combat misinformation running rampant about the vaccines. But the President said the national vaccination effort had protected the population from the worst of the Delta variant spread. "Because of our success with the vaccination effort, this new Delta variant wave of Covid-19 will be very different," Biden said. Still, the President cautioned: "Cases are going to go up before they come back down. It's a pandemic of the unvaccinated." https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10859 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10861 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10865 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10871 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10872 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10874 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10878 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10881 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10884 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10885 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10892 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10895 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10896 Half of the US population is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to White House Data Director Dr. Cyrus Shahpar. In a tweet on Friday, Shahpar said that more than 821,000 doses had been reported administered over the previous day's total, including about 555,000 people who got their first shot. The US has seen a rise in cases recently, fueled by the Delta variant, but Covid-19 vaccinations have also been ticking up in recent days. According to the latest data available from the CDC dashboard, an average of 699,261 doses have been administered each day over the past seven days, and an average of 464,778 people initiated vaccination each day over the past seven days. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10905 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10906 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10907 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10910 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10917 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10918 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10928 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10929 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10931 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10936 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10941 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10942 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10950 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/10953 On Thursday evening, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer moved to cut off debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, paving the way for swift passage of the sweeping legislation. The bill features $550 billion in new federal spending over five years and represents a major bipartisan achievement that will allow both parties to claim victory. The plan invests $110 billion in funding toward roads, bridges and major projects, $66 billion in passenger and freight rail, $65 billion to rebuild the electric grid, $65 billion to expand broadband Internet access, $39 billion to modernize and expand transit systems and $7.5 billion to create the first federal network of charging stations for electric vehicles.

It was the biggest job gain since August last year, when more than 1 million positions were added back, and more than the 870,000 economists had expected. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11016 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11022 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11024 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11030 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11036 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11045 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11048 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11054 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11056 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11064 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11068 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11072 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11078 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11081 The June jobs gains was revised up as well, to 938,000 positions added, showing the recovery's strong pace over the summer. "I have yet to find a blemish in this jobs report," wrote Harvard economist Jason Furman on Twitter (TWTR). Since May 2020, America has added back 16.7 million jobs. But it's still 5.7 million short of its pre-pandemic level. US job market recovery is underway The United States lost 22 million jobs in March and April of 2020. By July 2021, over half of the lost jobs had been recovered. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11090 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11093 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11095 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11099 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11105 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11107 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11110 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11112 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11116 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11120 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11126 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11127 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11131 President Joe Biden on Friday touted the success of his administration's economic policies but tempered his message saying "we doubtlessly will have ups and downs along the way as we continue to battle the Delta surge of Covid." Still a long way to go The hospitality and leisure industries — decimated by lockdown measures last year — were once again the biggest contributors of job gains, accounting for more than a third of the total. Some 253,000 jobs were added in restaurants and bars alone last month. While the rampant growth is great news, the industry is still down 1.7 million jobs since February last year. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11144 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11147 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11149 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11159 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11161 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11163 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11166 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11168 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11171 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11173 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11176 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11181 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11183 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11188 Hiring also picked up in eduction, according to the seasonally adjusted data. But the labor bureau warned that because hiring and layoffs in education were so distorted by the pandemic, the adjusted data might overstate the hiring in July. Average hourly earnings rose for the fourth month in a row, adding 11 cents to $30.54, as the high demand for workers is pressuring companies to pay more to attract staff. The jobless rate fell to its lowest level since the pandemic started, declining across nearly all demographic groups counted in the survey. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11197 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11198 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11204 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11208 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11212 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11215 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11217 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11220 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11226 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11230 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11232 The unemployment rate for Black teenagers jumped by four percentage points to 13.3%. The labor force participation rate inched up to 61.7%, while the employment-population ratio increased to 58.4%. Both measures are still below their February 2020 level. "The stagnant participation rate confirms that there are millions of potential workers who are still outside the labor force, not currently looking for work and therefore not counted among the unemployed," said Cailin Birch, global economist at The Economist Intelligence Unit. That said, nearly a million people found work in July, and that's a good sign for both the jobs recovery and consumer spending, which the US economy needs to grow, Birch said. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11243 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11245 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11249 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11251 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11255 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11260 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11262 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11265 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11270 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11273 The pandemic recovery has been defined by a mismatch between businesses' demand for staff and workers' ability and willingness to go back out there amid childcare issues, virus fears and generous benefits. Fed implication and Delta risk For the Federal Reserve, which has been touting that it needs to see more improvements in the labor market before adjusting its policies, the July jobs numbers are just what the doctor ordered. Even though the central bank doesn't seem to be in a rush to end its easy money policies, the sustained summer job growth is an important piece of the puzzle. In June, the Fed's consensus projections showed an interest rate hike in 2023, while it is widely expected it will start to taper its monthly asset purchases before then. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11278 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11284 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11287 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11289 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11291 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11295 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11298 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11301 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11306 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11308 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11311 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11314 Correspondingly, the US stock market was mixed Friday as investors digested the good economic news along with the possible policy implications. On top of that, there's a new hurdle in the path of the labor recovery: The Covid-19 Delta variant has brought back restrictions on public life in some places in the nation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance for those who have been vaccinated. So far, the increased virus spread from Delta has not weighed on the jobs data much, but that could change in the next reports. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11324 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11326 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11329 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11332 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11335 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11341 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11343 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11345 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11349 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11352 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11355 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11356 Analysis: Where will yields go? Investors weigh U.S. jobs data against Delta fears An unexpectedly strong jobs number for July has bolstered the case for investors who believe Treasury yields will head higher over the rest of the year, potentially weighing on an equity rally that has taken stocks to record highs. Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury, which move inversely to prices, stood at about 1.3% on Friday, their highest level since July 23, after Labor Department data showed the U.S. economy added 943,000 jobs last month. Analysts polled by Reuters forecast payrolls adding 870,000 jobs. read more https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11365 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11369 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11371 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11374 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11378 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11382 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11385 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11386 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11391 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11395 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11396 Some investors believe the robust jobs numbers could support the view that the Federal Reserve, faced with rising inflation and strong growth, may need to unwind its ultra-easy monetary policies sooner than expected. Such an outcome could push yields higher while denting growth stocks and other areas of the market. That view, however, is complicated by worries over rising COVID-19 cases across the United States that threaten to weigh on growth and the Fed’s insistence that the current surge in inflation is transitory. In any event, the data will likely ramp up investor focus on this month’s central bank symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And if August's job growth proves equally as torrid, the summer hiring spree would raise the stakes for next month’s Fed meeting, at which the central bank may outline its plans for rolling back monthly asset purchases. read more https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11433 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11437 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11439 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11443 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11444 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11448 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11452 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11455 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11457 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11461 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11465 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11466 The data “gives markets some sort of direction," said Simon Harvey, senior FX market analyst at Monex Europe. "It makes the upcoming Jackson Hole event and September's Fed event live.” Among the implications of higher yields could be a drag on tech and growth stocks with lofty valuations, as rising interest rates erode the value of the longer-term cash flows that many growth stocks are valued on. Those stocks have rallied since yields began drifting lower in March, helping to lift broader markets. For example, five tech or tech-related names alone - Apple (AAPL.O), Microsoft (MSFT.O), Amazon (AMZN.O), Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL.O) and Facebook (FB.O) - account for over 22% of the weight of the S&P 500. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11469 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11472 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11475 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11478 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11483 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11487 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11490 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11491 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11496 Higher yields could also boost the appeal of so-called value stocks - shares of banks, energy firms and other economically sensitive companies that hurtled higher earlier in the year but have struggled in the last few months. The Russell 1000 growth index (.RLG) has climbed about 18% since late March against a roughly 6% rise for its counterpart value index (.RLV). The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) and S&P 500 (.SPX) posted record closing highs on Friday, rising 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq (.IXIC) fell 0.4%. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11503 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11506 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11508 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11511 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11514 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11519 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11522 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11527 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11530 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11532 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11533 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11537 Strong economic data that pushes up yields could pave the way for investors to move from growth companies to more economically-sensitive cyclicals, said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities in New York. Strong data, though, could make dollar-denominated assets more attractive to yield-seeking investors, potentially boosting the U.S currency. A stronger dollar can be a headwind for U.S. exporters because it makes their products less competitive abroad, while hurting the balance sheets of domestic multinationals that must convert foreign earnings into dollars. The dollar index rose 0.57% late on Friday, on track for its biggest daily gain since mid-July. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11540 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11542 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11545 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11547 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11549 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11553 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11557 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11558 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11561 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11563 Goldman Sachs, BofA Global Research and BlackRock are among firms that have said yields will rise to near 2% by year-end -- an outcome that could be hastened if a strong economy pushes the Federal Reserve to begin unwinding its ultra-easy monetary policies sooner than expected. Others, like HSBC, have called for yields below current levels. “We think the recovery in long-dated Treasury yields that has taken place over the past week or so is a sign of things to come,” analysts at Capital Economics said in a note published Friday. “We suspect that growth in the US will be quite strong in the coming quarters, and that the recent surge in inflation there will prove far more persistent than most anticipate,” the firm said. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11569 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11571 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11574 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11577 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11582 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11584 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11587 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11589 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11590 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11595 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11597 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11599 U.S. labor market powers ahead with strong job gains, lower unemployment rate U.S. employers hired the most workers in nearly a year in July and continued to raise wages, giving the economy a powerful boost as it started the second half of what many economists believe will be the best year for growth in almost four decades. The Labor Department's closely watched employment report on Friday also showed the unemployment rate dropped to a 16-month low of 5.4% and more people waded back into the labor force. The report followed on the heels of news last week that the economy fully recovered in the second quarter the sharp loss in output suffered during the very brief pandemic recession. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11604 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11606 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11609 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11612 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11614 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11617 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11620 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11623 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11626 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11630 "We are charting new economic expansion territory in the third quarter," said Brian Bethune, professor of practice at Boston College in Boston. "The overall momentum of the recovery continues to build." Nonfarm payrolls increased by 943,000 jobs last month, the largest gain since August 2020, the survey of establishments showed. Data for May and June were revised to show 119,000 more jobs created than previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls would increase by 870,000 jobs. The economy has created 4.3 million jobs this year, leaving employment 5.7 million jobs below its peak in February 2020. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11634 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11638 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11643 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11644 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11649 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11653 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11657 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11661 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11663 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11671 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11673 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11677 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11681 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11683 President Joe Biden cheered the strong employment report. "More than 4 million jobs created since we took office," Biden wrote on Twitter. "It's historic - and proof our economic plan is working." Hiring is being fueled by pent-up demand for workers in the labor-intensive services sector. Nearly $6 trillion in pandemic relief money from the government and COVID-19 vaccinations are driving domestic demand. But a resurgence in infections, driven by the Delta variant of the coronavirus, could discourage some unemployed people from returning to the labor force. https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11723 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11725 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11728 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11731 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11734 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11735 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11742 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11804 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11809 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11813 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11815 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11818 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11822 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11824 https://developer.torontopearson.com/node/11827 July's employment report could bring the Federal Reserve a step closer to announcing plans to start scaling back its monthly bond-buying program. The U.S. central bank last year slashed its benchmark overnight interest rate to near zero and is pumping money into the economy through the bond purchases. "This is the last employment report Chair (Jerome) Powell sees before Jackson Hole, and we have to imagine that he lays the groundwork for a potential September tapering announcement," said Conrad DeQuadros, senior economic advisor at Brean Capital in New York.

Manufacturing payrolls increased by 27,000 jobs, while construction employment rebounded by 11,000 jobs. Retail trade and utilities were the only sectors to shed jobs. Details of the smaller household survey from which the unemployment rate is derived were also upbeat. Household employment shot up by 1.043 million jobs, leading the unemployment rate to decline half a percentage point to its lowest level since March 2020. https://notes.io/ZznE http://paste.jp/1ce0db97/ https://controlc.com/6d64548c https://paste.firnsy.com/paste/TsrlxM3Yu87 https://paiza.io/projects/C_KHiv8yhQFyOO3bbVCT7Q?language=php https://jsfiddle.net/kepinajach/hveps9w4/ https://onlinegdb.com/c9XC4zApG https://rentry.co/zhwhc https://pastebin.com/p9L8pBXC https://www.peeranswer.com/question/610df129e43e97cf4c364618 https://elouise.cookpad-blog.jp/articles/655694 https://www.getrevue.co/profile/joe-biden-warns-of-delta The jobless rate, however, continued to be understated by people misclassifying themselves as being "employed but absent from work." Without this misclassification, the unemployment rate would have been 5.7% in July. About 261,000 people entered the labor force, lifting the participation rate to 61.7% from 61.6% in June. The employment-to-population ratio, viewed as a measure of an economy's ability to create employment, rose to 58.4% from 58% in June. Even more encouraging, the number of long-term unemployed dropped to 3.4 million from 4 million in the prior month. They accounted for 39.3% of the 8.7 million officially unemployed people, down from 42.1% in June. The duration of unemployment fell to 15.2 weeks from 19.8 weeks in June. There was also an improvement in the number of people who have permanently lost their jobs. With economic growth this year expected to be around 7%, which would be the fastest since 1984, further recovery is expected. Faced with a record 9.2 million job openings, employers continued to raise wages to attract workers. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% last month, with sharp gains in the hospitality industry. That followed a similar rise in June and lifted the year-on-year increase in wages to 4.0% from 3.7%. Lack of affordable child care and fears of contracting the coronavirus have been blamed for keeping workers, mostly women, at home. There also have been pandemic-related retirements as well as career changes. Republicans and business groups have blamed enhanced unemployment benefits, including a $300 weekly payment from the federal government, for the labor crunch. Half of the nation's states led by Republican governors have ended these federal benefits before their Sept. 6 expiration. Economists are cautiously optimistic that the worker shortage will ease in the fall when schools reopen for in-person learning and sustain the strong pace of hiring. "August should be another big month, and September as well, as there are still millions who need to find work quickly," said Chris Low, chief economist at FHN Financial in New York.
