@normsmusic LOL!

@LnzyHou It is published by the Atlanta Fed, yes, but it's made using national data from the BLS. See: https://www.atlantafed.org/blogs/macroblog/2023/02/14/real-wage-growth--view-from-wage-growth-tracker

The meats, poultry, fish and eggs index fell 1.4%, pulled down by another month of large decreases in egg prices. #CoSoFinance #Economy #groceries https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/12/business/grocery-prices-march

Businesses are turning very pessimistic. I'm not discounting what business owners are experiencing. But the relentless firehose of "bad news" pushed by FOX News has to be part of this. #CoSoFinance

Wage growth for job switchers (gold) and stayers (blue) reaccelerated in March, with switchers moving to 7.3% and stayers to 5.9% #CoSoFinance

@thedisasterautist My experience is that Wall Street's "long-term horizon" is about 24 hours, max.

US retail sales increased 1.5% over the last year, the lowest growth rate since May 2020 & well below the historical average of 4.8%. After adjusting for inflation, though, the story is far worse. Real retail sales fell 3.3% over the last year, the 7th consecutive monthly YoY decline. #CoSoFinance

The IEA expects the gap in the global #oil market between crude oil supply and demand will hit 2 million barrels a day by the third quarter.

Rick Perry trying to pretend he knows anything about a successful energy policy is like your dog sitting behind the steering wheel of your car, pretending he can drive. Sorry, bud. That's cute, but no. https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/former-energy-sec-torches-biden-admin-ev-epa

@The_USA_Singers So you're saying there's a chance?

@JV3MJD Well, of course Gov. DeSantis ran away from all that high water. His go-go boots are out for repairs.

Since Biden signed the infrastructure law in November 2021, an official told reporters Wednesday, states, cities, tribes, and metropolitan planning organizations across the country have begun repairs on over 4,600 of the nation’s bridges. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/13/politics/kamala-harris-invest-in-america-tour/index.html

More on PPI, because everyone is worried about #inflation, and producer prices feed through to consumer prices. For first time since April 2020, both headline and core PPI fell month over month … former -0.5% and latter -0.1%. Both are the largest decreases since April 2020 #CoSoFinance #economics

Americans who applied for unemployment benefits last week rose by 11,000 to 239,000, indicating a small but steady increase in layoffs in a generally strong U.S. labor market. Yet companies are still hiring a lot more people than they are firing in a sign of ongoing labor-market strength. The U.S. added a robust 236,000 new jobs in March. #economics #CoSoFinance
