hundred thirty six thousand jobs was was at it and i went excuse me three hundred sixty five thousand i went back and said let's look at this for the course of the last twelve months it was like four hundred nineteen thousand roughly thirty five thousand jobs a month that's a pretty big monitor big mess but if you look at two thousand and eleven they were wrong on the other direction by about two hundred twenty nine thousand jobs or several so you know that one's credence to the theory warren you know that the recovery was actually little bit better than what people saw it in two thousand and eleven and it's not as good here in two thousand and twelve. unless you want to make anything out of the a.t.p. numbers at all because i issue kind of a curious statement lauren. has tend to want to match the last

numbers over time really really is that supposed to make us feel good. so why don't they just reported to numbers of what they're saying because these are actual job numbers or the largest federal process the united states well our you know how about just reporting the number and then if they want a little span as to you know what they think it might really mean for the b.l.s. rather than trying to match be a last number was over time well when they're wildly off in one direction and then another well i don't really inspired and it would seem that the whole point of having a g.p. is having a private gauge of versus the public numbers that we get from the b.l.s. each month let's talk more about what came out the b.l.s. report there because headline numbers might look pretty good but obviously there's so much to pick out of this report that doesn't make it into the headline numbers that people pay so much attention to so one thing that i was looking at ok though we've been adding more jobs we've seen average work week be stuck at around thirty

four point four hours for four consecutive months what do you take from this. well the average work week is stark but actually if you look at the index of average hours that really jumped out at me today especially in light of the really good payroll or barely budged actually it's hardly budged all year so what does that tell you to others you were hiring more workers but up there the number of hours there were certainly isn't going up we talked about this last month where i said that i thought obamacare was a factor in that what i'm positive now that obamacare is is is a factor in that we've seen all kinds of corporations come out big chains like you know red lobster and and and all the restaurants are coming out and reducing the number of hours i get a call from a friend said a who said that he works for

a large chain and got about two thousand and part time workers every one of them was informed today that the number of hours they're going to be allowed to work is going to drop from thirty to twenty five because in the mountain as we're talking about twenty percent more workers are going to need to be hired because they're reducing the hours of part time workers. there so the rise in employment law and that's it right there will end in ways that rise from obamacare and you're sticking to that obamacare thesis despite the revision in part time jobs for september which was revised down after that huge number was reported. well we had what was last month was eight hundred fifty two or eight hundred sixty two thousand jobs but tell you about last month they were i would see that we expect to see a resurgent revision to the mean you're going to got not the direction that i expected by the way because full time employment actually rose today right but what

we're looking at is you know one good number you know not in context what this trend has been really all year towards you know more part time employment and a lot of people tell me you know and quite accurately as they've met you know you can't blame all of this on obamacare but i never did in the first place or all i said was it was a factor right so we've had this trend towards part time employment for a long time yet we have why because companies don't want to pay wages and so obamacare didn't create things but obamacare. trimmed up because the definition of full time employment you know obamacare where they have to pay for medical coverage expel from the b.l.s. . definition use more than thirty four hours a week while the kids are definition lauren is thirty hours away huh so and that's

on average sourcing company saying my god i don't know i don't want these employees working an average of thirty hours they cut it down to twenty five just to be safe right so that's what's going on that's you know all part of this trend towards part time employment towards lower wages salaries been stagnant yeah for quite a long time your learned absolutely and i want to get into that in a moment but first one thing that you were telling me earlier and that i thought was very interesting is that the types of jobs that have been created we're talking about part time jobs this kind of feeds into that because obviously in the b.l.s. reports we get every month based. what sectors added jobs last month i think it was retail and travel and leisure and some of the areas that we've seen the same month after month but there's another way to look at these jobs that have been added and it's covered employment meeting the number of jobs that are covered. by

unemployment insurance if you lose that and that is a number that's reported and you track it and what does that gauge shell us about the type of jobs that are lost or cream cone or employment i get reports periodic they actually getting them every month now from a guy named jim wallace does a great job send me some charts i expect to have more charts out next week i'm covered employments covered employment is the number of people who are working that actually have benefits they're actually covered by unemployment insurance so in other words if they lost their job would they get any unemployment benefits now as has as you're aware people like myself. are self-employed we have to pay yeah we have to pay unemployment insurance but if i lose my job if something happens if i have no income coming in at the moment i'm not eligible i can't receive unemployment benefits now the number in two thousand and eight we had one hundred

thirty and a half million roughly one hundred forty six million people were covered so one hundred thirty out of one hundred forty six million now we're down to. one hundred twenty five million in other words in the last four years we've lost all the hype and a half million people are just tryin to have million people who no longer are covered why on employment insurance is so either they're working. for themselves or self-employed and i'm mad i have to ask how many of these people are selling trinkets on e bay where they call you know the b.l.s. calls them up and says did you work any hours this week and they said yes i sold you know one trade get on e bay for two dollars. we're since considered to be employed so here is the truth and here we've lost the art of million people don't have that and now know we're instead of one hundred thirty million out of the hundred forty six million four

years later here we are we're. one hundred twenty five billion that are covered out of the hundred forty three so we're down three million and we're down another by government employment in the rest warrior and that speaks to to what you can't see factored into the jobs numbers which is how much money people actually are taking home when you mention wages and touched upon that we're going to get to it after the break but if you aren't covered if you don't have benefits you may be are paying for health insurance out of pocket or you don't have it at all but it's another one of those factors you can't quite quantify in the jobs numbers real quickly i do want to play it has misused talked about before that you know you can't put too much stock in these jobs numbers you can't put too much stock in look at a.t.p. i have other guests that have said the same thing about g.d.p. or b.l.s. or whatever one area that some people have said is a good place to look for an economic indicator is the following i want to play a clip. you should look at wages look at real wages the per

the amount of money that a person earns per hour tells you whether his effort is paying off for him to pay attention to standards of living at the. real income in other words inflation adjusted income of households would be probably a better measurement of whether the economy's doing well or not. so it's unwise. and i don't really see it more but i know there was yet you. heard the second one was merck's whatever yeah. yeah yeah. yeah and you know as well michelle and when we get back from the break i want to hear you add to their and analysis i have to go to break real quick but when we get back i'll have you talk more about wages will have more with mike said locke in just a moment also still ahead you responded in prose and we'll read your back and respond to you it is friday after all that at the end of the show but first the

closing market numbers. sigrid laboratory was able to build with its most sophisticated group which owns the league doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach creation why it should care about you and. this is why you should watch only on the. government no longer represents the people. the people are going to take structure .

plu. the way eric played.

live. what will change when america picks its president and muslim rage. pushing china and russia as. the two parties still take. this election. and so. on the hosts of the twenty fourth which are the figures. thank you.

welcome back we're talking to mike headlock better known as mish about jobs because we have a new report out and there's so much that is in the fine print to be parsed that can show us a better indication of where we really are so let's bring mike said look back again and before the break i played a couple of clips you name them accurately a bill bonde or mark talking about the importance of wages as an economic indicator

better than than anything else do you agree that this is the best indicator of an economic recovery or lack there of i think one of these to look at a number of things but certainly us put it this way that's a very good indicator and it's even worse than what those guys mentioned because there's. there are you know union workers who are getting above average wage hikes at least in comparison to every one of the. and certainly some upper echelon you know job workers are getting some you know pretty big hungry and graces and it's all average debt still average all of that and the trends that are going down like that so what does that site that says you know that there's a certain class there that perhaps not getting any wage hikes at all no not only creates in their take home pay yet and another thing marc klaas. and sharon and i'm sure they would agree with me on this you have to factor in

taxes gosh illinois taxes my income taxes went up from three to five percent you know that's two percentage points were right out of my paycheck home and yet you know across the board sales taxes are going up look at california right now it's got a post out of the other day talking about a temporary tax and rates for something i've got seven or twelve they're going to grave you know temporary seven years. as dogs are damper right taxes keep going up yeah that's not factored into the c.p.i. up right so you know we don't get wages you know. groceries you go to the grocery store all of a sudden you're paying six percent per on tax and groceries well you're panicking yeah yeah and you know that's two percent that's your in the might be your entire salary right just going up you know increase taxes right so you know that's not factored into c.p.i.

that's not it's back there down to really a way to assert to say oh you know your wages were this last year well what about your benefit what about how much more you think your health your hours or your banker medica we're seeing for all number of reasons you know real wages decline right much more seriously than the reported so it looks like and our board isn't like that yeah and i can tell by going to lower i think you're saying it's worse than even the report. and i can show what the report indicates let's take a look at the b.l.s. tells us it has been happening to wages so these are average hourly earnings the year on year change and the change of the increase year on year has been declining it was one point one percent last month and it's been on decline since december of two thousand and eight so that's less than inflation it's not keep wages are not keeping up with inflation you bring up the question so are you is this a recovery for exactly because some people are seeing their wages stagnate some people are still seeing their wages increase and that gets into this issue of income inequality in this country what do you think is really behind it. well we

know what's behind us at least i do but rather than as a lot of the breaks in the economic sphere is as to whether it has as in all kinds of body there is but it's really very simple it's it's it's all the effects of inflation and i'm by inflation here i'm talking about increase in money supply the stead steps to you know gives money to the banks who benefits from that the people that have first access to money are the ones that benefit the most the people that have assets are the ones that benefit well so who is not an accusation has that he's doing this to you to increase jobs well where are that we've had roughly five trillion in stimulus i don't call it stimulus but it's a visible deficit you know you know if i was to about asked group of mine. who are five years ago would five trillion and instead be less of better or not i think he

probably would have sent yes that's what we had as we truly end plus deficits every year you know where to go who benefited from all that and how it went and said you know ridiculous schemes in an energy that are now bankrupt under obama it you know raised you get in wages bought you know it's a paper that was union wages. prices were not a tax on excited admitting unions are still clamoring for more money you get all these spenders but what this all was balls around fractional reserve lending and the ability for banks to employ right the people with her stacks system money and the wealthy are the ones that benefit yeah those rates are the party one more point mark does great to the party that was the last enron on credit look at the housing bust look at what happened in two thousand and six when finally average a lot of access to credit while they got into the housing but what exactly the

wrong time they got murdered by meanwhile. well you have people like. old missouri look cashed out of countrywide financial cash one billion in stock options over your years and a company with nearly one hundred how's that for and growing inequality and it's all predicated on lose money and who has access to it and i love the way you put it those first to the party make out really well it's those last to the party that get really crushed just to show one more chart before we go we can show what that decline in year over year increases in wages looks like next to the year over year increase in jobs and they're moving in opposite directions and as you indicate mesh there is just so much more behind these numbers that can even be factored in mike said lock thanks so much for being on the show he's investment advisor at sic a pacific capital management and our go to jobs guy. pleasure to be on the show a. good measure.

all right let's wrap up with your feedback because it's friday and we haven't done this for a while so we talked about catastrophe bonds in the wake of superstorm sandy and sean lacka writes i wouldn't have a heart to bet on a disaster that could affect many lives it's the same reason i don't have a heart to speculate on food prices and of course this brings up a lot of conspiracy theories about whether control of manipulated profit and what not i do want to clarify that as far as my understanding is of catastrophe bonds with the guess we spoke to what you're talking about is actually the opposite of these catastrophe bonds that we're talking about in the event of a major catastrophe you do not get paid on your bond or the value of your bond

erodes in terms of the principle so you aren't actually betting on a disaster so to speak in fact it would seem that you would rather you would want them to not happen but hey who knows maybe there's a day when they're collateralized and you can short them i mean that's kind of were a financial innovation has gone in the past i don't know but i hear you about food speculation also publicly traded defense companies i think are treacherous and not same kind away so i appreciate your comment also we mulled over the misuse of disaster funds on the japanese tsunami disaster relief by the government and i had said yes but you hear the same stories with nonprofits with them misusing money and grad made a key distinction grad said i can stop paying nonprofits well i cannot stop paying ransom to the government and so i thought that was a really good point fair enough ok you can you can give to a nonprofit you don't decide if you give money to the government but yet if they make. you know you're helpless now we talked about the merits of price gouging post sandy and ken wrote personally fifty dollars bags of ice are not ok but i sure as

heck don't want the police state to come in and say that today fifty dollars bags of ice are not ok and tomorrow forty dollars bags of ice are not ok and you know i'm really glad you made the distinction because you may think something is immoral or disagree with it it doesn't mean you think the government should come in with in this case price controls and do something about it so that was what we were trying to get to and i'm glad that you summed it up well street legal aid wrote same old same old from capital account what i want to know is what would happen next on main street in the us if the federal reserve did as lauren and mr bonner want and withdrew q.e. liquidity support from wall street it's ok for capital account to argue the theoretical case for free market capitalism i do get it but i think there's also a duty to explain what would happen tomorrow if the us state intervention ended altogether today please address this issue you bring up a good point if you withdrew all government support right away you would probably

have a collapse so big that people would become so distressed that the state would fill the vacuum again only this time the intervention would be worse than we've ever seen this is our guess therefore we do agree with you that it is it wise to withdraw all support all at once simply because it would open the door to more state intervention the reality is that we've gone so far down this road of statism and credit ism over decades that there really is no pleasant solution this is why we focus so much of our attention on encouraging people to take action in their own lives because most of the bad stuff may already be baked into the cake now long ago where two writes lauren is a non us citizen ita long time no idea that you have more than two guys running for president i hear us people say i will not vote i understood there must be a law that without enough votes the election is invalid or people say i will write ron paul in why don't people just vote for another party i don't under. the ignorance of the media to mention the others are you sure us citizens know about the alternatives there are few issues more than i can get into in thirty seconds as

to why the two party political system really has this stranglehold i mean there are barriers to getting on the ballot as a third party candidate raising a lot of money for elections is essential in the us to being winning president and third party candidates have a hard time raising it because as far as history investing in another candidate a third party candidate has really delivered the returns as far as donors of course democrats and republicans have a vested interest in the status quo and use their money and influence to advance it and you bring up the point of the mainstream media you don't really see third party candidates covered by the mainstream media but you can see them covered here i do want to mention that monday night there is a third party candidate debate airing on r t at nine pm and tom hartman who has a show on the network will host a political panel at eight g three seven one to two rights by having guests like bill bonner jim rogers karl denninger at center on your show it's driving me to be criminally insane all they do is make sense you know y'all could be held legally liable for this i sure hope we do i sure hope we are held liable because that's
