>> welcome to "lunch money." i am adam johnson. steve wynn bets big on macao and talks trash about actors. in technology, conspiracy, the story silicon valley does not want you to hear. with today's investor adam warren buffett's big batch, we will introduce you to one of his biggest fans. hank azaria's love-hate relationship with social media.

let's kick it up with what everyone is talking about and what else could be -- on the first friday of the month? >> a big upside surprise, 288,000 jobs traded last month and the unemployment rate drops to 6.3%, the lowest since september of 2008. >> impressive, those are good numbers. the most new jobs added to payrolls since january of 2012. is that good news? >> the headline number is good but the details are not quite as good. that's why we see the markets back off a little bit from their initial excitement. it is a tale of two surveys. the establishment survey is very good, to went 80,000 jobs -- this is the weather, it's over and we are coming back on that but then you look at the household survey, it measures how many people were employed.

we lost jobs, 73,000 jobs in the household survey. which one is correct? 700,000 people or more leave the labor force which drives the on employment rate down. the discouraged workers would feel better about things. we did not see a rise in earnings. >> exactly right. there are hundreds of thousands of americans who are not eating counted. it is skewing the numbers. participation in the labor force is at the lowest level since 1978. the trend is not getting any better. >> apart from that, not only the headline numbers, how many jobs were created and the unemployment rate but importantly, the elements that speak to the most vulnerable segment of the population. if you look at long-term unemployment, that came down to under 3.5 million. we have not seen that level for a while. if you look at teenage unemployment, that came down to under 20%. it is good to see the strong headline numbers and good to see unemployment rate come down and it's even better to see the most

vulnerable segments of the population doing better. we need to do earnings and that's the next issue in this progression of healing. >> the lack of wage growth is part of the washington debate over potentially raising the minimum wage. >> if you look at the studies, it's hard to claim that a higher minimum wage will lower employment. what it will do is it will help on the consumption side because that segment of the population has the highest propensity to consume and will help on the inequality side. i think it would be a win-win -- for a vulnerable segment of the occupation and the economy as a whole. >> online job network -- link in sales is below animals estimates. -- analyst estimates for users are not signing up at the pace they used to pushing lincoln into its sixth straight quarter of decelerating growth.

how does linkedin make money anyway? >> how does linked in the work? the recent quarterly earnings topped $473 million up from $25 million five years ago. the 11-year-old company claims more than 300 million members worldwide and 1/3 of them are in the u.s.. it makes money in three different ways. jobseekers upgrade to premium subscriptions. unlike other social networks, people pay for special access. subscribers cough up $20-$50 per month to contact recruiters directly about job they are interested in and make sure there resumes rise to the top of pile. they see 44,000 job applications every day. this advantage may help candidates stand out. companies selling other companies and to users. the linkedin information allows for marketing campaigns. at cells brought in $326 million last year.

it accounted for more than 1/5 of their 2013 revenue. recruiters by access to member data and paying for their firm to get noticed. equipment professionals pay thousands of dollars each month to access the database. once upon a time, only job seekers posted resumes online. these days through linked in, top, that can access suitable candidates may not even be looking for a new job. this business area known as talent solution is the company's golden goose bringing in more than half of their revenue. it's no surprise that the company hopes to employ the rest of the 3 billion professionals to connect so they can be found online. >> in fairness, linkedin users is no small number, 300 million is about the population of united states print the warren buffett annual bash is kicking off this weekend and what we can expect to hear from the oracle out in omaha. casino mogul steve wynn and

george clooney, they got together over a bottle of vodka. another actor has a new gig, kevin spacey is in the trailer for the new "call of duty at advance warfare" game. >> we should be tolerant of those who worship a different god than us. a journalist should be able to disagree with the president. people need a leader who can give them both the score and the constraint to keep chaos at bay. >> you give them that and they will follow. and that's where i come in. ♪

>> angela merkel is in washington, d.c. to speak with president obama. they are coming out now to make a statement in the rose garden. let's listen in. >> the opportunity is so terrific that it makes other things look less than terrific. yes, it's true we are primarily a chinese company. that will probably look even more so as the third hotel is next 18mpleted in the months. there will come a time when the ratio of domestic to chinese earnings is even greater. >> do you worry you're going to saturate the market and a time

when the economy is slowing? last three or quattro years, our hotel, wynn and wynn macao have been .teadily increasing in earnings the seven expensive and well thought-out project. at market has been expanding a rate that has allowed the market to add supply because demand has exceeded it. everyone is experiencing growth year-over-year in spite of the that the amount of enterprise has increased. >> is the government easier to work with in macau? >> it is more predictable.

the federal government in united states is much more unpredictable and unfriendly to business than they are to china. , as counterintuitive as it may be, it is absolutely true. you can ask any american businessman that is in both places. his problems are not just about predictability but paying more to ensure employees. the affordable care act came into b one year ago with myldren up to 26 years old, insurance costs for nonunion employees increased 43%.

they will increase by another 43%. it is because the government has impetuously without thought and research plopped into this area of extremely technical information. everybody that is a healthcare provider, and i have been won, could be happy to explain how we lower healthcare costs and the government could be help full. none of it was ever asked for or given. instead begun 700 pages of the worst in the piece of legislation in my lifetime. he will still have to deal with the legislation. he has some very definite ideas

about who will be the next commander-in-chief. willthink hillary clinton run and she will be an interesting candidate. there are some republican governors who have done great. scott walker, chris christie, jeb bush. i think the republican governors have shown that you can take care of your citizens, be compassionate, be fairer to your state wiselyun the so that the future is not jeopardized or impaired. the great french political 1909 theer said around american system of democracy will prosper until that moment when the politicians discover that they can bribe the electorate with their own money.

it is a path to destruction. it will not help working people. it will not make for a better future. steve wynn violated that one with george clooney. there may have been some tequila involved, expletives exchanged. nn, wanted to tell us all about it. live in a and doctors very strange bubble of their own. ed, highlyollycoddl privileged like george, barbra streisand, successful performing artists live in a relatively small world. they are very solicitous and caring for them. that is, a worldview

therefore, everything should be given to everybody because everything has been given to them. , if youun a business are responsible for a lot of people, you come to grips with the reality that you have to have discipline. you have to protect the enterprise in order to protect the employees. therefore, you can not be wasteful. you cannot squander things or jeopardize other people. gives you abusiness sense of compassion defined in different terms. the real benefits, the real passion for the working people of america will only take place as long as america is healthy. healthy means we cannot oh $20

trillion because that will cause all the working people in america to suffer. is victim to crowd their own prejudice. being in vegas all my life, we know about the hollywood people and we love them anyway. george clooney is fun to be with. you just have to watch or timing. i did not call the president an [expletive]. he was a little into the tequila. he's fun to be with. he's a good storyteller. >> glad we cleared that up. there are t dub others who left struck. >> my job was to fly them to atlantic city and bring them night, deanunday

martin and frank sinatra. for three years, they were my guests and my stars in my 500-seat showroom cutting up and raising hell. >> would you say they are the t dub coolest guys you never met? >> yes. they were absolutely unbelievable together. they have noncompetitive personalities. a he's a tough talker with soft spot for the rat pack. it's understandable. tough talking of his own. look out, netflix.

don't leave a paper trail. some tech ceos are learning this lesson the hard way. is go for launch again. the private space exploration muskny founded by elon just released this view of the falcon 9 rocket. you see the landing legs remaining out at all times but they hope they will soon have a rocket launch where they are stowed for aerodynamics and reemerge when it's time to land. this thing is incredible. ♪
