Worker satisfaction highest since 2005… Good bye Obama era tow part time jobs etc.
“Just more than half of U.S. workers—51%—said they were satisfied with their jobs in 2017, the highest level since 2005, according to a new report from The Conference Board, a business-research group. In July, jobless claims continued an extended post-recession slide and hit their lowest level in nearly 50 years. Nearly 58% of those with total household income above $75,000 report feeling satisfied at work, compared with around 45% of those from households earning less than $75,000.”
‘‘The Atlanta Fed’s GDP Now forecast, however, has its skeptics. The tracker often starts off optimistic early in the quarter then cools as more data flow in. In the first quarter, the indicator at one point showed 5.4 percent growth in a quarter where GDP rose just 2.2 percent.’’
Of course you didn’t. It seems you seldom read beyond the headlines.
