Payroll Jobs Grow Strongly in January
 Total payroll job growth for January
was a stronger 243,000, including
257,000 in the private sector
 The preliminary estimates are subject
to revision. The Dec. figure was
revised up to 203,000 from 200,000
and Nov. from 100,000 to 157,000
 Both goods producing and service
jobs gained, but government lost
14,000 jobs at all levels
 A separate household survey reported
847,000 new jobs, including farm jobs
and self-employment
Posted Feb. 3, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Unemployment Rate Lowest in almost Three Years
 The unemployment rate, which is the
ratio of unemployed persons to the
labor force, dropped to 8.3 percent, its
lowest since February 2009
 The decrease in the unemployment
rate came partly from an increase in
the labor force and partly from a
decrease in the number of
unemployed workers
 Starting in January, the population
basis was shifted from the 2000
census to the 2010 census. However,
the shift did not affect the
unemployment rate
Posted Feb. 3, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Broad vs. Standard Unemployment Rate
 The BLS also provides a broader
measure of job-market stress, U-6
 The numerator of U-6 includes
 Unemployed persons
 Marginally attached persons who
would like to work but are not looking
because they think there are no jobs
 Part-time workers who would prefer
full-time work but can’t find it
 The denominator includes the labor
force plus the marginally attached
 U-6 fell slightly in January to 15.1
percent, continuing a downward trend
Posted Feb. 3, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Employment-Population Ratio Continues Slow Rise
 The employment to population ratio
was unchanged at 58.5 percent, up
from its all-time low of July 2011
 The ratio would have been 0.3
percent higher without the shift in
population basis from the 2000 to
the 2010 census
 The long-term downward trend in
this ratio reflects several factors
 Slow job growth
 More discouraged workers, who do
not look for jobs because they think
none are available
 More retired persons as the
population ages

How Chronic Budget Optimism Helped Dig The Hole We Are In by Ed Dolan, has 9 slides with 1874 views.The document summarizes key points from Ed Dolan's economics blog about chronic overoptimism in US budget projections. It notes that budget projections routinely overestimated GDP growth and underestimated unemployment, contributing to growing budget deficits. As a result, tax cuts and unfunded spending increases were harder to justify and the national debt may be higher than if more cautious assumptions had been used. The President acknowledged the FY2012 budget does not do enough to restore fiscal health.

Sugar tax response by ssuserdc9b25, has 3 slides with 33 views.The document discusses Mexico's implementation of a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages to help lower obesity rates. It claims that high consumption of these beverages contributes significantly to excess calorie intake and obesity. It proposes a 1 peso per liter tax on flavored beverages and concentrates/syrups that produce drinks with added sugars. However, the article provides no evidence or statistics to support the key claims that sugar-sweetened drinks are a primary driver of obesity or that the tax will effectively reduce obesity prevalence. It does not consider other obesity factors or ensure the tax will achieve its intended outcome of lowering obesity.

Running Head: BUSH TAX CUTS 1 BUSH TAX CUTS 6 Bush Tax Cuts Delores Blango Strayer University Dr. Timothy Smith PAD 510 May 29, 2020 Bush Tax Cuts Position in favor of the Policy: The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts policy was meant to reduce marginal income tax rates and capital gains and dividends. All taxpayers got a reduction in their tax rates depending on their income thresholds. Additionally, the estate tax was completely phased out until 2010. These changes provided significant benefits to the middle class, who got their tax rates reduced by a margin of 3 to 5 percent. This fact means that people in the middle class got to keep a larger share of their salaries and improve their livelihoods. Additionally, all American citizens benefit from a child credit tax rising from $500 to $1000 per child. This change made it easier for low-income families to support their children adequately by providing for their basic needs. Further, there was a marriage penalty relief provision that resulted in the doubling of the basic standard deduction for couples that jointly owned property. The stated changes lessened the financial burden placed on American citizens. Before the policy, low-income households had to pay a 15 percent tax rate to the government. This condition left a majority of low-income families struggling to meet their financial needs. The Bush tax cuts lowered their tax returns to 10 percent, allowing these families to comfortably budget their overall income (Hungerford, 2010). Additionally, the child credit tax made it easier for parents to meet the basic needs of their children. In the American commun.

US economy outlook by Markets Beyond, has 3 slides with 193 views.The document analyzes US economic outlook based on tax receipt data. It notes that while individual tax receipts turned positive in May 2010, they have increased substantially for six straight months. Corporate tax receipts became positive in February 2010. Overall, tax receipts increased $44 billion in fiscal year 2010 and are $50 billion higher than 2010 for the first four months of 2011, primarily due to increased revenues from individuals. These tax receipt trends match an improvement in the unemployment rate, which fell to 9% as jobs and other indicators recovered slightly from January 2010 levels. However, the document cautions that toxic assets still burden balance sheets and off-balance sheet liabilities pose risks, so the economic recovery remains fragile.

It summarizes research showing that: 1) Income and the pre-kindergarten years strongly influence child development and educational attainment, more so than K-12 education. The achievement gap between income groups is larger now than in the past. 2) High-quality early childhood programs have significant long-term benefits for participants in areas like education, employment and crime reduction. 3) Families and early childhood experiences play a crucial but often overlooked role in skill development compared to formal schooling. A supportive family environment is important for child well-being and future success.

US GDP Growth Weak in Q4 But Profits Strong by Ed Dolan, has 7 slides with 1808 views.US GDP growth was weak in the fourth quarter of 2012 at an annual rate of just 0.4 percent, only slightly better than the previous estimate of 0.1 percent. While the expansion continued, it was the slowest rate of growth since the first quarter of 2011. Despite slow GDP growth, corporate profits were near record highs as a percentage of GDP, helped by corporations' ability to squeeze out higher profits in a weak economy.

03 25-13 treasurer's weekly briefing final by Dan Tran, has 11 slides with 298 views.The document provides a weekly briefing covering various topics: 1) Retirement savings are dropping as many workers have saved little and are not confident they can retire comfortably.

Running Head: BUSH TAX CUTS 1 BUSH TAX CUTS 6 Bush Tax Cuts Delores Blango Strayer University Dr. Timothy Smith PAD 510 May 29, 2020 Bush Tax Cuts Position in favor of the Policy: The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts policy was meant to reduce marginal income tax rates and capital gains and dividends. All taxpayers got a reduction in their tax rates depending on their income thresholds. Additionally, the estate tax was completely phased out until 2010. These changes provided significant benefits to the middle class, who got their tax rates reduced by a margin of 3 to 5 percent. This fact means that people in the middle class got to keep a larger share of their salaries and improve their livelihoods. Additionally, all American citizens benefit from a child credit tax rising from $500 to $1000 per child. This change made it easier for low-income families to support their children adequately by providing for their basic needs. Further, there was a marriage penalty relief provision that resulted in the doubling of the basic standard deduction for couples that jointly owned property. The stated changes lessened the financial burden placed on American citizens. Before the policy, low-income households had to pay a 15 percent tax rate to the government. This condition left a majority of low-income families struggling to meet their financial needs. The Bush tax cuts lowered their tax returns to 10 percent, allowing these families to comfortably budget their overall income (Hungerford, 2010). Additionally, the child credit tax made it easier for parents to meet the basic needs of their children. In the American commun.
