it gives janet yellen a little bit more room and a little bit more time. she might not have to raise rates as quickly. i am not sure that makes a lot of difference. some wage growth came in lower than expected. i also watch market makers,.. -- duh. toe is what is happening u.s. debt at this hour. yields are coming down a little bit. the yield are down four basis points, trading at a yield of 2.83%. also on the currency markets, i cannot figure out where the euro has been so resilient, despite the fact greece at literally is on the brink of default, maybe it is already defaulted. we cannot figure it out. the dollar is little bit stronger today are the dollar falling against the euro.

the primacy of the said he would sooner cut off his arm before a deal without debt restructuring. output is said to be the highest ever for a fifth straight year and much of it is being dumb to into the dirt at all of that at much more is coming up. jobs first, a rare it fell 5.3%. employers added 223,000 jobs. olivia: we know janet yellen says she wanted to say, what does this mean for the economy? the managing director joining us from philly. thank you for joining us this morning on jobs thursday. mark, let's start with you.
10:08 am
>> we got a strong number in may. matt: does this give janet yellen and the fed a little more time? since they are so data dependent, raising interest .ates >> we have got to look at so many in-depth details, for example the average earnings, to try to guess where the fed heads next. i do not think the federal reserve needs any more cover to delay. their chosen to do that for a number of years, during which economic growth was reasonably and the jobs market
10:09 am
picture was arty looking good. from a market perspective, the odds of the first fed rate hike are shifting a little bit. >> if we keep getting no wage see, i -- they need to think the the necessary condition for the first rate hike is an acceleration. olivia: an acceleration above 2%. >> since the recession, really. that is where we have been it we need to see something moving north. to three.ng my view is we will get it. the numbers we will get will but if i am wrong and we do not get that -- >> currently, we are on for september. jobsbelieve the two reports will show the underlying wage growth. olivia: earlier this morning, we spoke to bill gross. take a listen to what he had to say. bill gross: yellen are clearly
10:10 am
coming in my mind, classically demand driven e-commerce. includes asset bubbles and prevention. i think it will open in september. rather thanms like data dependent, what wage growth is, the fed is getting its cues more from the stock market. why wouldn't they raise rates now? if they're looking at wage growth, we are getting down to almost 5% unemployment flat, it seems like we could at least get 12 basis points out of them. >> the hidden third mandate is broader than at the markets. it is about the idea of financial stability. in an over inflated equity market, if you believe that to be the case, i do not in my colleagues do not.
10:11 am
if you do believe that is the case, it is one side and there is a good argument to be made there should be a bubble popping aspect of fed policy, if you will pair where it really influences the real economy is data points on inflation we have seen, and acceleration in rental rates as they influence cpi and inflation. property values are increasing. a handlehat is really or the fed will need to raise rates in the future, through asset price inflation and rental rates, not necessarily the equity market. olivia: one more question about productivity. a huge newsday with everything going on in greece. you think we are in productivity? it picked up but where is the productivity and that is perhaps the reason we have not seen more pickup and wages? >> is slow. my view is the gdp growth has been understated.
10:12 am
we are producing a lot more stuff out there than we are measuring. the growth is better than we think and that will become evident in the wage growth data as we go forward. >> growth will be week. olivia: one quick question, jeb -- they are talking about 4% gdp in the u.s. is that realistic? >> maybe for a quarter or two, but no. even if you believe the growth is chong are than it is, the best we can do in the long run is probably 2.5% growth. growth -- matt: thank you very much for joining us. we will take a quick break. when we come back, centene --varoufakis says he will

10:18 am
kinds of proposals by the institution, we will do whatever it takes. if a no vote, as we are recommending to the greek people, is delivered, we will -- they seem to be in agreement. our long lines different to that of institutions. are -- what are the greek people voting on? plenty of people out there are saying at the moment you're out of the program. i'm curious what you think. >> it is ingenious. verynted with a comprehensive proposal by institutions. it was more or less on a take it or leave it basis to what we said was, for us, i'm sure any independent observer would agree with this, if we were to agree on that, we would be extending but not for a few months. have exactly the same
10:19 am
situation we had a last five. what we're saying is, please back us to say no, to this theme, which has absolutely no specific fund proposal with it. worth the paper it is written on. this kind of mentality, just you over for ae few months and then we will come back to the same kinds of conversations. it is time to end this. for if it is a yes, what would you be signing? what would you be prepared to sign? >> you have any doubt if it were a yes, the same proposal proposed to me will be back on the table? we'll find a way of finding this. some of us may not be able to stomach it.
10:20 am
i am allergic to extending and pretending. i'm sure the prime minister and everyone the government will do .hat we must do but it will not be a yes verdict. enough extending and pretending. >> if there is a yes vote, come monday night, you will not? >> i will not. >> this is make or break for you. >> but i will help whoever it is in order to push it through there. there is no sense in speculating now. the greek people will say no. of losinge had enough their dignity by signing agreements and making pledges that simply cannot be met because financing is wrong.
10:21 am
>> the current finance minister of greece putting his fate and the hands of the greek people. matt and olivia, back to you. it toyou have got to give the guy, he is cool. lightly -- look so likely there will be a no vote. you're watching people on the streets having to deal with capital controls. that will continue at least for the foreseeable future. olivia: i do not think we could say anything is likely right now. we have no idea which way this to go. he is a guy who has been telling the greek people they could have everything they want. matt: that is bloomberg tv has live coverage of the greek referendum that starts sunday at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. olivia: forget the fourth of july. tune in. are america's big

10:25 am
they have the department of justice allowance to practice what is basically a monopoly and may have for decades. there are three major airlines in the country, along with the u.s. regional airlines, they control everything going on. you cannot be a foreign airline and coming here and fly like fort lauderdale and new york. just does not happen. what is alleged here is they are colluding country -- to control the amount of seats. so they contrive drive up prices. less supply. they can then charge more for what they have here the airline is saying, it is going the exact opposite way. if you think we are colluding, wooden we do a better job? we seeing more seats and lower prices. olivia: wesley have the stats on -- annual i.t. are a fair annual itinerary fair.
