6:33 am
we talk about wages growing per hour but one of the real stories is computer software that has allowed wave driven businesses to manage those hours down because you cannot get the hours you want. we're looking at loft it bargaining power. >> the point you are highlighting is effectively a productivity issue. we did see high productivity gains as businesses were afraid to make the commitment to bring on new full-time employees so they used other means to do that but labor is cheap so now we are getting to a new paradigm where businesses are more confident in the outlook and so they are willing to bring those workers on. there is no bargaining power until the labor market gets tight. >> let's talk a employee confidence as well. to my great embarrassment, take this job and shove it is the job always applied to jobs that show the quit rate. this is the willingness of workers to leave doing confident
6:34 am
they can get a job somewhere else. does that uptick give you any hope? me hopesolutely gives and gives janet yellen hope because this is something she is watching. versus labor force participation. people are feeling confident enough to say take this job and shove it. that means probably some people who have been sitting on the sidelines are willing to jump back into the labor market. or relation and is a significant sign that labor force participation points to bottom out or trend higher next year. that is big news. the bluntget back to instrument, the word six months ago was slack. we are doing 228,000 jobs per month over the last 10 months and we are miserable. why are we miserable if we are generating 2 million jobs over 12 months? >> we are on the road to recovery but we are not there yet. so one great way to look at this is the you sex unemployment rate

6:36 am
people cannot get the hours they want, they are under up lloyd -- under employed. >> there are a host of dynamics, inflation rate and these issues but as we reduce that slack in the labor market and employees find trouble finding someone to put a new roof on your house -- rages -- wages will improve. reduce that rate, or is it a two part america, one part doing well and things are better and another part that is not even participating? economic recovery and economic cycles are not fair. we cannot expect it to be fair that everyone benefits equally. people with high degrees of education or people with more attached to the labor market -- business managers have done better. >> are those unemployed later than six months is nowhere back to normal. >> that's a good point, economic recoveries are not there. you know what else is not fair,

6:38 am
appliances, everything is geared toward right-handers. left-handed, president obama is left-handed, oprah winfrey is left-handed and they are doing ok but it is interesting that the rate of accidents go up. we have not figured out a way around it. they have those red left handed scissors. there is no else catering to the southpaws. age whereis at that we are eagerly watching to see if there left-handed or right-handed and see if they will have an unnatural advantage but we don't know yet. they are just incompetent. >> we're looking for the next left-handed pitcher who could take the yankees somewhere. november mayke be the new december at least for car sales. onwill discuss right here "surveillance." ♪ >> good morning everyone,

7:31 am
and i heard that he would go to walter reed hospital to meet with the troops on most weekends so i asked if i could tag along and along -- and it was a humbling experience to see our soldiers there. many of them had severe injuries and many surgeries, they don't complain of other one of the young men that have this -- both legs capitated one of them quite high. and his father was there and said, because he was wearing kevlar underwear i can be a grandfather. the unprotected him from serious injuries and cash. in big hug and i asked -- what was going on? turns out when he first of office he thought. hard to get kevlar underwear, the british were using it -- and

ashton carter have they would real responsibility to delegate. >> the white house has enormous respect for carter, they work closely with him and i think he has respect from the senate, bipartisan from the comments that i heard senator mccain and others make. i hope he has a quick confirmation hearing and is confirmed quickly. >> what is it about a cabinet office so far in a two term presidency, is it a tired administration? >> it's a great privilege to work for the american people, i worked for four years for president obama -- >> you didn't age, how did you do that? >> believe me i age. it is a big sacrifice and when you meet the troops you realize how small a sacrifice it is compared what they are doing. i think the problem is they have not been able to get their plans through congress. >> scarlet?

7:35 am
now is the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer in new york but what happens in these cases and you have seen it with the trayvon martin shooting in florida and you seen it in ferguson with the shooting of michael brown and now with the eric garner death, the justice department keeps a close eye on the situation specifically the civil rights division. what eric holder announced two days ago is that they will's now start a full-blown probe into the killing of eric garner through the civil rights division. so what we know right now is through the eastern district new york prosecutors plus the ones in d.c., there is going to be a federal look trying to figure out if federal charges can be brought. there is a hired are and it is different to bring them for federal prosecutors but with these protests going on what i hear regularly is be patient, we have something going on and there is a chance charges could come. the prosecutor picking this up will be letter read up --
7:36 am
loretto lynch. what do we expect her to do? >> there been a couple different angles to look at, one, will this have impact on her confirmation hearings? or her ability to oversee this case? on the second one, she put up a statement last night saying she will look very closely at this and it is her prosecutors working with the civil rights division in washington dc. she personally will not be in the weeds, she will be in the oversight capacity. , the trayvon martin federal investigation is still ongoing some of the time this comes to a conclusion loretto lynch will likely be the attorney general of the united states and will not be in that position anymore. on the confirmation side i spoke someone today, if this comes up during the hearing she cannot talk about it so it should not have any impact at all.
7:37 am
there are a couple ways to look at it and it is an interesting wrinkle but it should not have any impact. >> i wonder what the upshot is from the president's meeting with cabinet members in recent days following the grand jury decision in ferguson. >> what was interesting on that same day he met with law enforcement and civil rights from some of the protesters and ferguson and what we heard he is serious about trying to pursue change. everybody talks about a lame-duck president and what can you get done? this is a personal areas have a lot of meeting for the president that he will push for. he saw they already allocated $75 million for chest cameras for police to where. i think they're trying to figure out ways to go through and get something done whether a so many other options that are not coming through. is this the same debate in

7:44 am
fed likes to look through that and say it is transitory because we know oil prices never stay low forever and never stay high forever. prices stay low, it does become more pervasive and feed through into core inflation and it meets the fed does not get to its 2% core inflation goal. with your great work with vince reinhardt, is this going to be fed changing? in 1986pec collapse or redux? does it change the action of janet yellen, stanley fischer, bill dudley and company? >> i don't think it will change all that much, i think they view it as positive for the u.s. economy as it is helping households and if inflation stays low because of oil -- >> will you and vince change are called because of $60 per barrel oil? >> i'm glad you bring that up because we had a call for a 2016
