for the ages. can it maintain momentum? we will discuss. first to our lead. june payrolls coming in strong, 222,000 positions added. that beat forecasts. but wage growth weaker than expected. check out this chart on the bloomberg. in the white line, u.s. average hourly earnings change year on year. june up 2.5%. month on month, just a .2% increase. we are seeing the lack of inflationary pressure. areworkers underemployed -- the workers unemployed or perhaps technology is allowing employers to hold down wages longer? we are joined by andrew economist atchief

a massive jobs database. and our guest host, david kirkpatrick, c.e.o. of techonomy. i'm focusing on the silver lining and the numbers. more people joining the labor force. when we look at bloomberg analysis, it looks like department stores, telecoms, these are the biggest job losses. we are seeing disruption affecting jobs at the moment, aren't we?- >> absolutely. we know blue-collar jobs are clearly going to be affected. what many people are not talking about is that white-collar jobs will be affected also. loan officers and other white-collar roles increasingly being replaced by apps and software are at risk as well.

we see an indication of that today. caroline: ai becoming more prevalent and relevant. david, is the u.s. ready for this? >> i don't think the u.s. is ready for it. before i make another comment, i want to say we absolutely need to have policy and investment to accommodate the reality that job dislocation is going to become pervasive across the economy, including white-collar professions. but there is an irony about the handwringing in silicon valley about job losses because of closerion given we are to full employment that we have been in a long time. we don't have enough unemployment. the time to be having this concern is a slightly odd one, nevertheless we look forward and to this odd conundrum. near recordg

amounts of employment at the moment. however, we are not seeing any wage pressure building into the system. can you talk about the underlies and --underlying reasons for this? perhaps it is not automation feeding into this yet. >> underneath the 2.5% wage growth, there is a lot of diversity. it is misleading to focus on the topline figure. it depends on what city you're in and what job you're doing. that determines your wage growth. health care and software, they are seeing wages rise at 3% to 4% per year. manufacturing and design engineers are seeing wages falling. excessive focus on the topline figure does miss the fact there are labor shortages in places like san francisco and not like atlanta and houston. caroline: how do we read into this on a more general basis? how can policy help?

is it by helping people move from state to state, to make labor mobility more easy? >> labor mobility will help. part of the problem today is we have close to 6 million job openings in the united states. many people who need jobs are not in the same cities creating jobs. anything from housing policy to tax policy, anything that encourages people to relocate to where there is work will help. there's also this issue of training and making sure people have the right skills, making sure universities are teaching what employers need to hire today. i don't think that is happening and why you are seeing things like boot camps to fill in the gaps. caroline: talk to us about the handwringing you talked about in the fact that many are talking about taxing robots in the future.

overall optimist or effectst of this on the on people and the economy? >> i'm an optimist on everything. , you give themey credit for recognizing the profound innovations they are bequeathing to the world, and you mentioned ai being one of them, is clearly changing the job landscape dramatically. they have stepped up and leaders are actively and publicly worried about that. there is no question we need to train people. we need to do a better job of connecting companies to the availability of workers. but it is weird that people do not want to move. there was a study this week i saw that young people are spending so much time on video games, young men, that is one of the reasons they are not working as much. they love just hanging out

playing video games. it is astonishing some things happening throwing off the traditional calculations. caroline: wow. andrew, you are a man all about calculations. talk of july numbers, the rest of 2017, where do we see the pattern of weeks group going. do we remain at this stagnant wage growth level? >> today marks the eight-year anniversary of economic expansion and we don't see any end in sight. believerd to we could continue to have sluggish job growth with 8 million job openings. i am optimist about automation. history and evidence are clear. automation always ends up creating more jobs and raises wages in the long run. i think people should be optimistic about growing automation. they should he happy it allows us to produce more per hour of work. when we will know automation is

affecting the labor market is when we see the product to the -- productivity numbers rise. today we see slow productivity. with automation working, he would see more output. i will wait for the evidence on automation and maybe dial back fears until we see data. much,ne: thank you very andrew. david kirkpatrick is sticking it out. elon musk's tesla has won a contract to provide what he calls the world's largest lithium battery which will be used to backup australia's power grid. the carmaker promises to provide 11 megabits of storage. at the g 20.in russian hackers are chief suspects in a breach of at least

bloomberg has learned russians may be behind cyber attacks a dozen or more u.s. power plants, positioning themselves to potentially disrupt supply, although there is no threat to public safety at. this as trump and putin agreed to look at security threats at the in germany. mike riley wrote this great story and is joining us from washington now. still with us, david kirkpatrick. like mike, talk us through it. utinave trump and p talking. it looks like russian hackers are looking to potentially disrupt the infrastructure of the u.s. what is happening? >> the confluence of the meeting and the news breaking about the attacks on power plants shows there is a lot going on behind

the scenes even as the leaders are meeting. , howrms of the russians you determine these are russian hackers, there were private security at the power plant and also the f.b.i. and n.s.a. multiple sources said all fingers seem to be pointed at russia. the context of this and why the u.s. government is so worried is in the last two years, russian hackers took down the ukrainian power grid two different times. they get more sophisticated as if they are using the ukraine as a testbed for this. when hackers that seem to be connected to russia start hitting a dozen power plants in the u.s., it makes them very nervous. caroline: fascinating really. i want to get david's opinion. are you?rned when we startn

losing power because the russians are turning it off? i hope that is not true? as mike went about, cyber forensics are better than a lot of people realize. ball hacking is a problem, detection is improving. disagree i slightly about is the fact the u.s. government is worried. if we were, i think our president would be making this a bigger concern. i don't think president trump is worried about this even though you could make the case the russian government is waging a kind of war on our economy. if we really are so worried that power plants might start going out his of their behavior -- because of their behavior, we should be taking action at least in public statements and proceeding much differently than we are. i don't hear that kind of talk coming from washington. caroline: mike, is there talk coming from washington? can you paint some background?

you did some great investigative journalism into what went on at wolf creek nuclear site. >> the first point is we are in a relatively unique position. people in the national security part of the government that have to think about the power grid are pretty worried about this. but by all accounts, president trump does not particularly think the russians tried to influence the election. as a result, i think that means the way he views any of these claims are going to be clouded by his sense of what hackers, especially russian hackers, did or did not do during the election. it is a unique position for the government to be an and does create this split personality within different parts of the government. in terms of what the hackers did, the u.s. government did send out, and they do this in situations like this, they sent out a warning to utilities and

stakeholders with a lot of information about how they could detect these same hackers in their systems. one of the things that was clear is you could see the malware the hackers were using to get in to the office computers seem to be scanning internal parts of the network looking for connections between those computers and control systems. it is the control systems that would control turbines and other things. as far as we know, they have not been successful. the concerned the government put out was they are worried these guys are going to burrow into these networks which might give them the ability to pull the trigger on something more serious at a time of their choosing. caroline: fascinating amount of depth you managed to get into. david, when you look at the significant global cyberattacks in the last couple of months, are companies getting this?

is investment going into this weekly enough and is our government reacting quickly enough? david: there has been a big shift in the way companies think about cybersecurity in the last two or three years. at the board level, most companies are talking about this. c.e.o.'s are on alert this is a big deal. money is being spent. we have a challenge for public aisle seat and strategy. we need a global treaty on this. we need global discussions among to discuss what is proper and what is not. the fact that is not happening in being discussed as urgent worries me. mull over plenty to the weekend. mike riley, great piece. i urge you to go on to bloomberg.com and read it. from theocks rebounded biggest selloff since may closing out the week with the gains.

you have great insight for us. the silver lining for samsung, the numbers. in particular, your area of expertise, chips really are flying. phones, itcare about is only the memory chips that matter. that is really what is going on. that is the heart of samsung as it became a modern, successful company and it is a success that has continued to this day. it has been brutal competing against samsung in the memory chip industry. basically everyone has given up apart from a few and that has had a commencement effect on the balance of supply and demand. those chips are going into all manner of new things these days helping on the demand side. samsung is definitely making a lot of money out of that market. caroline: fantastic for the chip side of the business. they are also in an area i'm not

sure you're keen on either, organic l.e.d. screens. is this an area where the price can remain fantastic? >> i do care about it because it is basically semiconductor technology as well. phone with to make a that screen, you have to go to samsung. they are the ones that put the factories in place and developed the technology at an extremely high scale. the rumor is even apple is going to have to come hat in hand to samsung later this year and say give us as many screens as you can, please. caroline: this is what is so interesting. what a samsung going for in terms of the bottom line? s8 doing well ahead of the 10th anniversary of the iphone. samsungou have to say has revived as an impressive phone maker.

they are head-to-head with apple again. it is interesting to think about this most diversified company. there is probably no company we can think of that does more things than samsung. they subsidized semiconductors and chips when it was hurting and now prices are double what they were a year ago. that is impressive. it is amazing with all the problems they have had that they are showing this historic profit today. it is a very impressive company. but they have taken advantage of possibly unfair advantages they have in korea. caroline: interesting. let's focus on that now and some of the problems. you have come back from south korea. you went to court. remind us why jay y. lee is there. it is due to corruption. >> he is accused of trying to bribe the president of the country, who is on trial in a nearby courtroom, in order to get influence from the korean

parts of the pattern infringement? >> the judge in the case had been urging off of the two pull away from the patent cases. this has really been a trade secret lawsuit from the get-go, that there have been these four patent cases. out the bet is basically walking away from three of them and only has one left -- alphabet is basically walking away from three of them and only has one left. they have switched to something else. the remaining suit is around ubers is still using and not the one they have agreed not to use. caroline: what is the rationale behind questioning larry page? >> larry had a one-on-one atversation with levandowski

the heart of the case who is pleading the fifth a if they want to learn what that was about, they have to talk to larry page. larry page has side projects. he has these flying cars that compete with alphabet. it is not that crazy anthony levandowski was working on things similar to what alphabet was doing. that was sort of the culture a google. i think they will definitely want to ask larry page questions about standard practice and whether anthony was doing anything that odd here. caroline: pleading the fifth, it means anthony levandowski does not have to be giving evidence. talk us through what this means for uber current state of affairs. this hits to the heart of their own business model and forward thinking for where the company goes. is this something you are keeping a close eye on? i wouldt is one more -- not say nail in the coffin because uber continues to thrive

-- but when there are a lot of meals going into something, i can hardly think of a tech company that has more blots on its reputation than this one. it would be great for them if they get out of this case is gave. reporting has been great helping me understand what is going on. currently, no c.e.o., sort of being led by arianna huffington, is that is who is sort of in charge? we don't really know. tons of people have left. the scandal of sexual harassment, all kinds of things still simmering. and yet, everybody is still using it and it is growing around the world. caroline: back to this particular court case. it seems as though uber has come out fighting with respect to the fact that three out of four patent infringement cases have been dropped. do they have a leg to stand on?

>> they are definitely happy to see that. like i said, the judge sort of saying alphabet should pull back on them was a strong sign. i think it is going to come down mostly to these trade secrets cases. even that, alphabet has to pull down from more than 100 to less than 10. that is mostly about what he jury can reasonably focus on. focusfocus -- they will on fewer than 10 claims and dig deep on them. there are still questions about what alphabet has been able to turn up. they have not really tied uber to having these files were asking levandowski about these files. there is a lot the judge has been saying you still need to prove a lot. saga continues. keep reporting, eric newcomer. david kirkpatrick staying with us. the war of words is showing no

interesting story because of their business. they are an example of the business closely linked to apple. their whole business is cultivated around bowing to apple. in april, they disclosed they were losing this contract and their stock limited 60%. they came out and said a lot of things about how they doubted apple could do this without violating their intellectual property. there was a bit of making this seem like it came out of nowhere. investors saw the stock drop. it was clear they were surprised by the move. caroline: it seems as if apple is refuting the timeline imagination technology has put in the market. >> it gets interesting because apple has said the timeline imagination has given to investors was not really accurate. as apple told them as soon good way they would be dropping

them completely but even going back to 2015 apple was winding down the relationship because it was planning to develop the technology itself. caroline: two years previous, it had been giving warnings. two months previous, they had been informed this was likely to happen. what can they come to the market and explain? this is against market practice and in many ways deemed illegal not to be letting investors know something that will significantly affect share price. >> talking with an attorney that used to work for the u.k. regulator, this is something they will be looking into. there are nuances a company does not have to disclose. imagination says they had a contract with apple starting in 2014 with nondisclosure agreements, saying we cannot based on this agreement with apple, we cannot talk about the ups and downs of negotiations and the talks which are constantly ongoing. they said when they got the

final, clearest word that there was no going back, that this was ending, that happened at the end of march. and on the next business day, they say that is when they disclosed it. it is clearly in dispute. it is something i am sure some regulators in london will be looking into. caroline: we have statements from apple. what does imagination tell you? >> imagination says they disclosed it in the proper manner, that they did it when they had clarity from apple. that is kind of a keyword in the legalese of this thing. it depends on the interpretation of these things. lawyers will be involved, as they tend to be with apple lately, as another supplier, qualcomm, and a two of them are entangled in a mess. caroline: a question to broaden this out. this is not something just affecting imagination technology in terms of its dependence on

apple. many companies are very dependent on apple. are there other suppliers many are worrying about? >> apple and the iphone was this incredible success story. there were a lot of companies who got the components inside to do a very specific little thing. but those businesses got caught on the rocket ship and went like this. of course along with that, they're glued -- their business became more and more reliant on apple. if they decide a technology is core to what they want to do that they will build it out themselves. tips is something they have been doing -- chips is something they have been doing more internally because you're able to get more power out of it or you can fine-tune it specific to the function you want to do, weather with siri were augmented reality. as they try to do more of this

mayheir own, suppliers mai no longer be making the one little thing and the business can collapse. the people who work there and the investors. it is a domino effect the company of apple's size can have. caroline: still with us is my guest host, david kirkpatrick, from new york. the supply chain function. lean into your television. this is so important. i want you to try and see. this is dialog semiconductor, another supplier to apple. check out its dependence on apple. 's 75 percent of its revenue is from apple. samsung, just a percent. -- 8%. in single figures -- then single figures. why aren't these companies changing? >> i don't know how you would

change if you were one of these companies. apple is within its rights to do what it wants. perspective,any's live by the sword and die by the sword, they cannot turn the revenue away. they want be profitable revenue. win,suddenly apple has a and their business goes away. that has to be scary. but does dovetail with another big issue that i think is coming up more about this small number of globally dominant tech giants. is there a different kind of responsibility given their unprecedented scale? tim cook has to think about this differently than a typical company. ultimately, i would say he is completely within his rights. caroline: fascinating. does fit into many more debates.
