    The U.S. economy is growing briskly.  The rate of GDP growth in 2018 is more than double the rate of GDP growth in 2016.  October 2018 employment reports indicate strong employment gains, significant reductions of sidelined citizens rejoining the workforce and a nominal increase in the number of unemployed. Amidst this dynamic job market, it's worth noting that diverse industries contribute to these positive trends. The casino industry, for instance, continues to be a notable player in job creation.

  • Monthly GDP & Jobs Report: October 2018

    Record highs and record lows indicate that the U.S. economy is booming and the U.S. labor force is waning.  GDP growth reached the 4% mark and is projected to continue strong.  Stock markets and consumer confidence are at all-time highs.  Unemployment is at a 50-year low.  The longest span of consecutive labor gains has been extended to 96 months, the longest run since WWII when record-keeping began.  Conversely, the U.S. labor force is not keeping pace.  A record high of ...
  • GDP & Jobs Report

    The August 2018 employment report is nothing to celebrate.  Jobenomics asserts that the media hoopla regarding 201,000 new U.S. jobs in August by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is unwarranted since the U.S. labor force suffered a net loss of 445,000 citizens across the three reported BLS labor force categories: Employed, Unemployed and Not in the Labor Force.  The voluntary workforce exodus of 692,000 people (as many people as there are in major cities like Pittsburgh and Cleveland combined) ...
  • U.S. Construction Situation Report

    To say the American construction industry is booming is an understatement.  So far this decade, the U.S. Construction supersector’s 3.3% annual employment growth is the fastest growing supersector of all ten industry supersectors.  Moreover, each of this supersector’s sectors and subsectors (Construction of Buildings, Specialty Trade Contractors, and Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) exceeded the annual rate of U.S. GDP growth by substantial margins—the only supersector to do so.  Construction industry’s wages for production and nonsupervisory workers are now the ...
  • U.S. Manufacturing Employment Report

    The U.S. Manufacturing supersector is vitally important to national sovereignty and an anchor tenant of the U.S. economy.  Re-shoring and keeping American factories in America is a worthy goal.  Even if America re-shores manufacturing jobs from foreign countries, manufacturing has limited upside employment potential due automation across the entire manufacturing value chain.  From a wage perspective, manufacturing is no longer the high-paying industry sector that it used to be, nor will it be in the future.  As opposed to looking ...
  • GDP & Jobs Report

    While U.S. GDP growth is improving significantly, the latest employment reports indicate marginal labor force improvement.  Consequently, the U.S. economy is not yet gaining enough momentum to achieve President Trump’s goal of creating 25 million new jobs and sustained 4% GDP growth over the next ten years.  On the plus side, Q2 2018 GDP growth reached a four-year high of 4.1%, U.S. stock markets are returning to historical levels, the unemployment rate remains at a near post-recession low (3.9%), and ...
  • 4.1% GDP Growth

    Bravo to the Trump Administration for achieving a 4.1% GDP growth rate in the second quarter (Q2) of 2018. The last time that the United States reached 4% in a single quarter was in Q3 2014.  Since the turn of the Century, the year 2000, out of a total of 74-quarters, only 11-quarters broke the 4% barrier.   If President Trump can achieve his goal of sustained 4% GDP growth over the next decade, the U.S. economy will boom and American ...
  • Trade War? (Updated)

    Free trade is an ideal goal.  In practice, reciprocal trade is more realistic, especially in an ever-changing global marketplace.  After WWII, the U.S. economy equated to about half the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP, the value of all goods and services).  For the first 3-decades after WWII, the United States could afford to assume the responsibility of rebuilding the economies of devastated European and Asian countries.  In the subsequent 4-decades, Americans acquired an appetite for cheap foreign goods and launched ...

  • Gig/Contingent Economy

    Even though Jobenomics estimates that the size of the U.S. contingent workforce is four-times greater than reported in the June 2018 BLS Contingent Worker Supplement, we applaud their landmark effort.  After a 12-year hiatus, this report now should be published on an annual basis to provide information for better policy-making on this vitally important topic.  Unfortunately, various news outlets are incorrectly analyzing the BLS CWS report.  For example, CNN Money[1] reported that “Gig economy jobs aren’t really taking over America’s ...
