1:05 pm
13%, more than twice the decline in the stoxx 600. what has changed? the backup of bond yields driven by speculation the fed will raise rates sooner rather than later. investors switched out of defensive and moved into cyclical. the shift from monetary to fiscal stimulus that people are looking to will occur more slowly than investors may be pricing in. you may want to go back to dividend stocks as a result. joe: i want to get an update on the work function. it shows what the market is pricing in. it is pricing in 56.8% chance of a hike are the end of the year, a 22% chance for the september meeting. if we go to yesterday, we see it little bit higher.

♪ joe: an ongoing story. last august, greece secured its third bailout and there is little sign of progress. -- theiday, the prime finance minister said greece needs to do more. alexis tsipras called for a completion of the bailout program and a decision on debt relief. that would pave the way for greece to return to the bond market. this is set to end on friday. for next on what is to expect for greece, let's bring in nick malkoutzis.
1:12 pm
he joins us now via skype. have you back. every time we have you back, it is on news that is on issues with the greek bailout. where do things stand? are we heading towards another nailbiter at some point about whether greece qualifies for more money? it is another episode in the drama. perhaps not as dramatic as in previous episodes. hassituation is that greece these milestones to complete. 15 of them. these are the reform targets that were set when the institution of graces -- g reece's lenders or last year. greece has only completed two of the 15. it is a race against time to complete them by the end of the month. the greek government is saying
1:13 pm
by the end of the month, the latest by october will be done. can that is done, greece obtain its next bailout. the hard deadline in this is the europeantober with the stability mechanism which holds tos money, saying according the agreement, if these milestones are not completed by october, this money disappears. t dangling inarro front of the greek government. the other thing is the bailout reviewed, lining up the next set of reforms that need to be done. scarlet: i feel like we have heard this before. alls like groundhog day over again. alexis tsipras delivered an economic speech on saturday. what did he say, and more
1:14 pm
importantly, what did he not say? not that much, to be honest. a couple of years ago, alexis went to the place he delivered his speech on saturday , but as an opposition leader, and promised to move heaven and earth to tear up the bailout, to write off a big chunk of the debt if he became prime minister. we all know what happened subsequently. this time, he kept expectations low and the one message that came through is everyone has to hang on for economic recovery to come. 's economy contracted year on year by .9%. a quality basis, it grew by 0.2%. next year, we will see strong growth. 'se institutions, greece
1:15 pm
lenders believe it could grow by two point 7%. it seems ambitious. if convincing growth comes, alex that, hislieves with political fortunes can be revived, as well. matt: we talk about companies that care about revenue, but never come to profitability. as far as the countries are concerned, where does greece fair? - greece fare? is everyone collecting his or her fair share? an issue at the moment for the government. revenue has slacked off. they missed their target by a few hundred million. that prompted concern that there is a feeling that the greek population, individual businesses have been taxed out.
1:16 pm
the latest round of tax increases was a bridge too far. people cannot or will not pay because they feel it has become too much. they are watching this closely because the biggest concern for the greek government at the moment is that it will veer off its fiscal targets. greece has to produce the primary surface of .5% this year. it is achievable, but if revenues are not where they are meant to be, it could mean the target is missed. that will then trigger an automatic mechanism, whereby further cuts will be made. in the current environment, this government, which has lost so much support in the last 12 to 18 months, that would be politically toxic. joe: how popular is alex suppress right now? -- alex suppress right now?
1:17 pm
tsipras right now? nick: his party is five to 10 .oints behind the problem for the opposition is trying to capitalize on this unpopularity, around 75 to 85% of greeks say they are dissatisfied with the government, that they are not for thesatisfaction opposition party in convincing numbers. this will give tsipras a window of opportunity to try and turn the momentum around. joe: thank you, nick malkoutzis. mark: the founder of linkedin is the latest selection valley mogul to give his money to politics. he will donate as much as $5 million to veterans if donald

labor force. ryan: it is an interesting time for the labor force. we have interesting things happening in technology, new kinds of work being brought in to the economy. we are seeing distressing figures on things like wage growth and inequality. the book is an effort to put together the different friends relating to how work is evolving in the world of digital technology. joe: one of the big anxieties is that fewer and fewer of us are going even going to be able to work, or apply our brains to productive enterprise, because artificial intelligence and robots will make us all obsolete. what is your research show on this topic? ryan: we are beginning to see the potential to replace large numbers of jobs in the workforce thanks to the improvement, machine intelligence, which can be used to drive all kinds of
1:36 pm
vehicles, carry on service conversations. what i don't think we will see over the next two decades is mass unemployment. the reason for that is that everyone has to go for a roof over their heads. if technology displaces workers in one field, they have to accept whatever way jamaican in order to put food on the table. that will be a source of social pressure. inwhatever way they can order to put food on the table. joe: as you point out in your book, this is the first time society dealt with huge technological changes that disrupted the workforce. for example going from a farm-based economy to postindustrial. huge changes in the nature of the most people work. what's the most interesting thing you learned about how society cokes with the evolution copes with the evolution of technology, in
1:37 pm
terms of creating work? ryan: what is most interesting is that it is hard. it takes several generations to work out what societies need to do to make work work for these people. era, you hadrial to make cities livable places so that people were not die in of cholera. you needed new forms of education so that people were getting instruction in reading and writing so that they could be useful. you had to change the social safety network, so that when a recession wiped out factory jobs, people were not dying in the streets. similar to what happened in the 19th century, we will see the same kind of social evolution as we work out what has to be done to make the company in a digital era work for the typical worker. that will be a huge challenge. joe: you get to write books for a living. i get to look at the bloomberg terminal all day and play with charts. i could probably do with 24/7.

i find it a very fun. i could do it forever. tell us about this cultural thing that's happening. some people have jobs that they really don't want to step away from, that they find to be immensely satisfied in. workill that kind of shrink? ryan: right. what has been interesting over the past couple decades is that life has been incredibly good for people in certain white-collar professions with a lot of knowledge work. in the sense that they have been rewarded with rising wages, and the work has become more edifying -- we get to do more stuff we enjoy, work with other people we enjoy being around. at the same time, people at the other end of the workforce have stock paychecks and --stagnant paychecks and find their work to be less edifying. the problem will not be what
1:39 pm
people do in the highly skilled professions coming up with new ideas, it's kennedy -- can we thatup with institutions provide something to the blue-collar worker that has not done so well? i am not sure what that will be. i don't think that is a hands-on factory job like it was 50 years ago. joe: one of the hot debates gs isn up in the econ blo the way to which technology has made leisure time much more appealing -- video games, social networking -- essentially reduce the need to get out of the work. what do you make of this debate going on? do you think that working is not a such a great substitute for leisure as it had been before? ryan: keep is happening in two
1:40 pm
different ways. one, wages are not going as rapidly as they have in past generations. the pull trying to get young people under the house is weaker. at the same time you have incredible wealth of entertainment opportunities, from video games to social networking. that makes it much more attractive to have fun in your parents basement. in both ways that is encouraging people to stay at home. the entertainment side is only going to get better. we going to have virtual reality that makes these worlds even more emerson. -- more immersive. i don't know, maybe that's how we deal with this crisis -- we create a synthetic world so that it doesn't matter to these people that don't find fulfilling work. talk about this decline in the labor force participation rates. even prime age labor force participation rate, even those that are retiring -- that is generally down among men.
1:41 pm
in your work what you find is the most compelling nation for the trend? ryan: i think it's the difficulty in transitioning in old economy job either replaced outsourced or been to foreign workers brought into the global economy. this is not easy to learn a new skill, even for knowledge workers. intel peoplet will impel people will to do that is the prospect of good training. there is no incentive, we should not expect people to do that without some kind of knowledge from others. others.of udge from and they have not gotten that nudge. unless we work as a society and work from one sunset industry to another, we are going to continue to see this trend

1:52 pm
you can see the steady price decline. that is not a fair way to look at it. fields was a dominant presence. and he still is pursuing the fo ford strategy with some success. you can see ford's following stock amid the rebound in a net income. the company missed analyst estimates, but since then has been very upfront about concerns, even warning this summer that a stolen u.s. auto market threatens the company's alling u.s.- a st auto market threatens the companies full-year sales. rising after the recession, up at the 18 million mark, but possibly hitting a peak. that is what people are concerned about. not just for ford, but the entire industry. august sales reflected a big miss in estimates.

the big problem is light truck sales. light truck sales in general have been outpacing cars for many years, creating this gap. , cars andks in white orange. is one ofes for ford the top-selling in the u.s., almost for four decades. those sales declined six percent year-over-year last month. that is a worry for foreign investors. outside of lagging sales, there is fear of tech giants like google elbowing into the business. over the past month, fields has tried to combat that with announcements of autonomous vehicle by 2021 and expanding its mobility with the purchase of a shuttle van service, and issuing bikes in san francisco. it has partnered up with a ton of cities.

a bit of a concern. scarlet: and that chart shows the steady growth in credit. that blue line is the value of auto loans. the top $1 trillion made last year, a steady increase over the last five years. that yellow line tracks banks and other lender's willingness to offer or demand higher credit scores. you can see it has been pretty rocky. but they are getting more picky. you have a net 1.6% loan officers demanding a higher minimum credit score. that is certainly can of the initial. during the financial crisis, people were willing to walk away from their homes and mortgages. after the financial crisis, people were demanding secure auto loans. the thinking was that people would never walk away from their cars. joe: in america, you don't walk anywhere. scarlet: people needed their cars to get to their jobs.
