host: larry pratt, your response?uest: the representative does not seem to pay attention to the death in her own state, which is not surprising, because the opposition to concealed carry seems to be based very much on feeling rather than linear logic. in its florida, when they pass their legislation in the late- the's, they were above national average for the violent crime rate, the murder rate. after it passed, not only did it fall, it kept falling some 44%. they are now under the national average. for her to say this is a problem is to defy the facts. host: earlier we talked about the differences between shall issue and may issue. we have a map from usacarry.com that shows different states and different legislation. we want to get a feel. the dark blue states have shall issue two residents only. guest: that means if you are licensed in another state it does not do you good. they do not have reciprocity. host: the lighter blue is shall issue to residents and non- residents. guest: that means they have worked out reci

suzanne pratt reports. >> reporter: with so many people out of work, any new jobs should be encouraging. the problem is employers aren't creating enough new jobs to make much progress putting the 14 million unemployed americans back to work. yes, payrolls rose by 80,000 in october. that sounds good, but, it's really not when you consider by most estimates 125,000 new adults entered the workforce last month, that's due to population growth, etc. still, economist julia coronado views the october jobs data as neither positive or negative. >> it's kind of in between. it's a little bit more of the same which is okay job growth, not really great, not enough to really give a lot of momentum to the economy. but certainly not a disaster. >> reporter: tig gilliam agrees the labor market is moving sideways. he heads one of the world's leading staffing agencies and says companies have learned to get by with fewer workers. >> it's not that businesses don't want to hire. but, businesses are only going to hire when it's a necessity. it doesn't matter if corporate profits are good, they're only going t

as suzanne pratt reports, the airline has high hopes for what it will achieve from going bankrupt. >> reporter: american airlines has finally hit a patch of turbulence too large to avoid. the rough air was brought on by the carrier's sky high labor costs in the face of rising fuel prices and limited travel demand. new c.e.o. thomas horton said at a news conference today bankruptcy should give american a chance to cut expenses. >> i think it's the right decision at the right time to move our company forward. i think, as many of you know, the last decade has been extraordinarily hard for the airline industry. >> reporter: so hard that all of the industry's major carriers have already been in bankruptcy; some have even merged. but at la guardia airport today, there was little sign of the airline's financial problems. lines were long, and employees diligently helping passengers. american will go through the same arduous process as its competitors. and through it all, the carrier says, it will be business as usual. for customers, that means reservations will be honored and those all import

suzanne pratt, "nightly business report", new york. >> tom: as while it was disappointing news out of europe, we got some mixed news about the american economy, coming at the start of the critical holiday shopping season. the number of people seeking jobless benefits rose last week after two months of steady declines according to the labor department. initial claims jumped by 2,000 to 393,000. meantime, americans earned more last month. pay rose by the most in seven months. but we spent very little; a mere 0.1% increase from the previous month. and businesses pulled back on investments in long-lasting manufactured goods. orders for durable goods fell 0.7%, with much of the weakness coming from a big drop in demand for commercial aircraft. while investors remain mostly focused on europe, there's sequestration here in the u.s. it sounds like a word only a government bureaucrat could love. sequestration is another name for more than $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts coming to the federal government budget in 2013. darren gersh explains why markets are watching sequestration and why you mig

but as suzanne pratt reports, investors are disappointed that november got off to a bad start. >> reporter: at this td ameritrade office in midtown manhattan, it was hard to tell today was the start of the stock market's bullish season. not only was it quiet, but few customers were buying stocks despite the bargain prices. manager jeff goldberg says most investors don't pay attention to stock market seasonality, but plenty watch headlines. >> the news doesn't stop, the news out of europe doesn't stop, the news out of washington doesn't stop, and this is all driving the market. so, to think that there is a disconnect there or a time when investors can be complacent is wrong. >> reporter: no one really knows why stocks historically do best during the november through april period. some experts believe it's because bonuses get paid and invested at yearend. but there are concerns we won't see gains in stocks in the coming six months. >> the market has not advanced during every observation since world war ii, and certainly if the problems do not resolve themselves sooner rather later in europe,

and as suzanne pratt reports, it also bodes well for the holiday sales. >> reporter: a quick look at your inbox tells you the holiday shopping season is starting even earlier this year. at least that's what retailers, both online and in stores, are hoping. the question is whether earlier promotions will result in more spending this holiday season. retail expert r.j. hottovy says stores figure they've got nothing to lose. >> by getting your promotions out there, it keeps consumers focused on that holiday sale, although it may not immediately translate into a sales lift. >> reporter: today, a weekly consumer survey suggested those early emails may be working, at least in terms of early trips to the mall. according to the data, 15% of holiday shoppers are already more than halfway done with their spending. that's the highest in seven years. still, opinions seem to swing almost daily as to just how good the 2011 season will be for retailers. today, after learning retail sales rose for the fifth straight month in october, some experts were cheerier about the coming weeks. economist joe da

but, as suzanne pratt reports, there's a bit of good news in that bad news. >> reporter: remember some of the highlights from this past summer? in july, lawmakers battled over our nation's deficit and debt ceiling. in august, standard & poor's downgraded u.s. debt. and by september, wall street was "occupied" by some new neighbors. againsthat backdrop, the nation's gdp grew at only a 2% annual rate. while it's the fastest quarter so far this year, it's less than originally reported. still, if ever a dark cloud had a silver lining, q3 g.d.p. might be it. it turns out g.d.p. expanded more slowly in july through september, mostly because businesses drew down their inventories by a lot. economist bruce kasman says that sets the stage for a stronger economy at year-end. >> i think what it suggests is that what we lost in this revision in the third quarter, we'll probably get back either this quarter or next in terms of somewhat more strength in the inventory component. >> reporter: j.p. morgan is expecting the economy to grow at an annual pace of 3% in the fourth quarter. but that will prob

suzanne pratt reports. >> susie: on wall street, sometimes perception is just as dangerous as reality. recently that's been true for the financial sector, where perception has grown that europe's debt woes will cause problems for u.s. that perception is partly why financial stocks have not had a good year. this financial e.t.f. is down nearly 20% since january, and it looks like investors were right to worry. m.f. global is the first u.s. victim of the europe's debt mess. the question is, will it be the last? banking analyst fred cannon says probably not. >> there certainly are other financials out there that have made large bets. you know, hopefully they're hedge funds and the size of m.f. or smaller who can fail. >> reporter: experts say it's difficult to know which other firms could face the same fate as m.f. global, but most agree it wouldn't be a large u.s. bank because they've got plenty of capital. still, investors are likely to keep worrying about the solvency of all financial firms, even though some experts predict those concerns will soon disappear. >> i really think that th

suzanne pratt, "nightly business report," new york. >> susie: our next guest says the super-committee stalemate means another year of paralysis. joining us now, kenneth rogoff, professor of economics at harvard university and co-author of "this time is different: eight centuries of financial folly." hi, ken, nice to you have back. >> thank you. >> susie: all right, so a lot going on with the whole supercommittee announcement of no deal. was's your read on this situation and what does it mean potentially forth u.s. economy? >> well, it certainly shows the continuing paralysis in policy. yeah, it was expected. but it was worse than expected. i mean there might have been something at the last minute. there is really nothing on the horizon that seems like it could happen before the election e september perhaps some short term patches, perhaps the payroll tax, perhaps not. and there's a risk. there's a risk with the u.s. economy very weak that will actually have substantial tightening next year if congress isn't able to extend the payroll tax and some of these other short term fiscal stimu
