Solid Claims Level Doesn't Let Jobs Report off the Hook

Following the weak non-farm payrolls report Friday, several market professionals advanced the argument that the jobs number wasn't so bad because jobless claims remain low. Real-world considerations and data analysis counter this notion. Managers facing a slowdown stop hiring before they start firing, which incurs costs. Hiring activity stalls or weakens before similar developments in jobless claims. In November 1998, payroll growth held a flat trend while claims continued to trend lower for another 17 months to April 2000. During the next cycle, payrolls began to deteriorate in November 2005 while claims held stable until August 2007, a 21-month spread. In the current cycle, payroll growth has deteriorated at an accelerating pace over the past 19 months, while claims have continued to trend lower.

Hiring Stall Slashes Chances of Fed Rate Increase in JuneThe acute weakness in May non-farm

payrolls extended far beyond what could be attributed to the impact of the Verizon strike, signaling fundamental frailty in the U.S. economy. The broad-based weakness and substantial revisions to previous months suggest that larger forces are at play. The poor payrolls result eclipses the any positive implications froma falling unemployment rate for two primary reasons: Unemployment fell for the wrong reasons and payrolls are a better concurrent indicator of economic activity than the unemployment rate.

This jobs report significantly complicates the Fed’s objective of raising rates later this summer. The June meetingis now absolutely too soon for them to have confidence that the economy has righted itself following the first quarter growth stall. July remains possible, assuming that a range of data rebound materially later in the quarter — including the pace of hiring.

There will be one more jobs report before the July FOMC meeting. If Fed Chair Janet Yellen only halfheartedly defends the potential for a July move when she speaks on June 6, and again when she testifies before Congress on June 21-22, the potential for the Fed to deliver two rate increases in 2016 will be significantly reduced.

Non-farm payrolls advanced by a lowly 38,000 during May, well below the consensus estimate of 160,000. It was theweakest monthly posting since September2010, when they fell by 52,000. To make matters worse, the previous two months suffered notable downward revisions. The April increase stands at 123,000, downwardly revised from 160,000, while the March gain was cut to 186,000 after an initially reported as a 208,000 increase. The two-month net revision was minus 59,000. The second-quarter average monthly increase currently stands at 80,000, the slowest since the third quarter of 2010.

The Verizon work stoppage reduced growth in May non-farm payrolls by 37,000. Ex-telecommunications payrolls increased by a still-lousy 75,000. History suggests the impact of the strikes should be temporary and net hiring will likely reverse after the strike ends. Thus, the June payrolls report will be boosted by

roughly 40,000 as Verizon workers get back to work.

Private-sector hiring slowed even more than the headline reading, plummeting to just 25,000 in May from 130,000 in April. Private service-sector payrolls have steadily decelerated since the beginning of this year — in February they stood at 242,000, falling to just 61,000 in May.

The one-month payroll diffusion index of 262 industries fell to 51.3 last month, following a 53.8 posting during April. This is the lowest level since February 2010. Readings above 50 denote expansion, so the breadth of job creation remains positive, albeit at a less desirable pace.

The unemployment rate declined sharply to 4.7 percent, from 5.0 percent the prior month, but for unfavorable reasons — specifically declining labor force participation. The fall in unemployment totaled 484,000, but this was almost entirely due to labor force dropouts. The size of the labor force fell by 458,000. The participation rate fell to 62.6 percent from 62.8 percent prior. The rebound in participation earlier this year, which was a welcome development to forecasters who believed that rising wages could entice individuals back into the workforce, appears to be stalling out.

The broader U-6 unemployment rate remained steady at 9.7 percent. The current reading stands below the 12-month moving average of 10.0 percent,

suggesting continued progress in reducing labor-market slack.

Average hourly earnings advanced 0.2 percent last month. This followed an upwardly revised 0.4 percent increase in April initially estimated to have increased 0.2 percent. Average hourly earnings are now 2.5 percent higher than year-ago levels. The current pace is slightly softer than the 2.6 percent postings of October and December and only a tad stronger than the 2.4 percent pace averaged over the last 12 months. They remain range-bound.

The length of the workweek was unchanged at 34.4 hours in May after April was revised lower to 34.4 hours from 34.5 hours. A flat workweek combined with a low net hiring number, resulting in weak growth in aggregate hours of 0.1 percent versus 0.1 percent prior. Upon accounting for the modest rise in average hourly earnings, aggregate income growthrose just 0.3 percent versus 0.5 percent prior. The 12-month change decelerates to 4.2 percent from 4.3 percent prior.

Aggregate income is running at a pace that should support only moderate consumer spending gains, particularly as inflation pressures rise due to the reboundin energy prices. Aggregate hours growthimparts some downside risks to tracking estimates for second-quarter GDP growth, which had previously approached the 2.5-2.9 percent range.

Yellen Gets Last Word Following Hiring SwoonFed Chair Janet Yellen's June 6

to the World Affairs Council is addressundoubtedly the most important economic event of the week — particularly after the dismal May jobs report. Economists are cautious not to overreact to one month's hiring data, but large downward revisions to March-April establish a compelling pattern of a slowdown. The economy is recovering from a weak first quarter, and the hiring stall may simply be a lingering aftereffect. Yet the rebound is tepid and casts doubt on the need for further rate hikes.

While Yellen briefly commented on the monetary policy outlook in response to a question at Harvard's Radcliffe Day, her appearance Monday in Philadelphia is a more appropriate platform for her to elaborate on the outlook. Following the May jobs report, she will have the opportunity to seal the fate of a potential rate hike in June. In fact, she will likely have the last word on the matter, as it is the last scheduled speech by a Fed official ahead of the June 15 rate decision.

Yellen expressed solidarity in earlier comments with a range of officials who advocated for a mid-year move. With respect to timing, she indicated a move could be appropriate in the coming months — so she did not express a predilection for June. Mostly likely, she will keep July squarely in her sights.

The data are often overlooked JOLTSby market participants because they trail the official jobs report by a month. However, there are important economic signals to be gathered from the underlying details. The March JOLTS indicated a surge in job openings, sending a compelling signal that the pace of hiring should accelerate this year. But payrolls fell sharply in May, and were significantly revised down in April.

JOLTS data for April, released Wednesday,  should help better understand the reasons for the deceleration in job gains in the previous jobs report. This could give analysts some clues about the reasons behind an even sharper deceleration in May.

One of the most encouraging economic data points of the last year has been the low level of . This implies jobless claimsbusinesses are confident and optimistic that demand will be strong enough to justify current staff levels. Initial claims fell 1,000 to 267,000 during the week ended May 28, carrying an associated four-week moving average of 277,000, which is essentially the same as the 278,000 average for all of 2015. There would have to be a considerable surge in claims to signal an alarm.

Household balance sheets have recovered from the housing bust and financial crisis. Household assets increased at the end of 2015, driven by home-price appreciation and stock-market gains. Household net worth rose by $1.6 trillion in the fourth quarter. Housing prices increased significantly in the beginning of this year and stocks ended the first quarter on a positive note after falling sharply in January-February. This suggests another gain in household net worth in the first quarter of around $1 trillion in Thursday's report.

Consumer sentiment will warrant much closer scrutiny, given the heightened uncertainty toward the near-term economic outlook following recent

negative data surprises including the jobs report and non-manufacturing ISM. The economy is bouncing back from a first-quarter stall, but only moderately, in large part due to a measured improvement in household spending. Income growth, as implied by the jobs report, is likely to be modest in May, thereby depriving households of the necessary funds to bolster spending.

Consensus expects a minor decline in the preliminary June sentiment result, released Friday, to 94 versus 94.7 in May. The risks tilt toward a weaker result, given the recent turn in the data. It will be worth watching for corroboration of broadening wage pressures noted in the Fed's Beige Book.

The FOMC's June meeting is now absolutely too soon for policy makers to have confidence that the economy has recovered from the first-quarter growth stall. July remains possible, assuming thata range of data rebounds materially later in the quarter including retail sales, and most importantly June payrolls, released on July 8. If the rebound in the economic data is mild and the Fed delays beyond July, they will likely be forced to accept just one rate increase in 2016, given the timing of the presidential election.

COMMENTARY: LABOR FORCE  MARK WHITEHOUSE, BLOOMBERG BLOOMBERG VIEW COLUMNIST

The Jobs Recovery Doesn't Have to Be OverAfter U.S. employers turned in their

worst hiring performance in almost six years, the people responsible for managing the economy must be wondering: Are businesses running up against the limits of how many jobs they can create?

It doesn't have to be that way.The May jobs report offers troubling

signals that the U.S. economy may be nearing its capacity to generate jobs. Non-farm employers added only 38,000 workers — a number that, even accounting for a Verizon Communications strike that took about 35,000 people off payrolls, fell far short of expectations. The unemployment rate declined to 4.7 percent, the lowest since November 2007, due to a drop in the number of people seeking work actively enough to be counted as unemployed. That's well below the level that economists see as full employment, the point at which further hiring tends to push up wages and inflation.

To be sure, the jobs data are volatile and subject to revision, so one shouldn’t jump to conclusions from one month's data. More important, though, the headline numbers don’t tell the whole story. Because the unemployment rate counts only those who have sought work in the past four weeks, it misses millions of jobless who for one reason or another are staying on the sidelines. Employment among people in the prime working years of 25 to 54, for example, remains about 2.8 million jobs short of what would have been considered normal before the 2007-2009 recession.

The crucial question, then, is whether those people will work. If they've given up, or if their skills have irreparably deteriorated, then maybe the damage done by the recession can’t be reversed any further. If better prospects can bring them into the job market, then employers can keep hiring without unduly pushing up wages.

One way to get a sense: Look at the actual monthly flows of people into the labor force. If they're already abnormally low as a share of the population, coaxing more people to join probably won't be easy. If they're within the historical range,

 there may be hope.The data are encouraging. Throughout

much of the current recovery, a large share of the population has started seeking work after being out of action — meaning these people went from being classified as "not in the labor force" to "unemployed." That percentage has declined — to an average of 0.75 percent in the three months through May -- but hasn’t fallen below its level at the peaks of the last two economic expansions. (Top chart).

Perhaps more promising, a lot of people are going straight from the sidelines into jobs, without even showing up as unemployed. On average in the three months through May, 1.67 percent of the

population did so. That's a bit less than in previous months, but still high by historical standards. (Bottom chart).

In short, the evidence suggests that workers are available, if only employers saw enough demand for goods and services to keep hiring. This, together with persistently below-target inflation, supports the case for more ambitious stimulus policies such as infrastructure investment and possibly even direct payments from the central bank to taxpayers. Failing to consider such measures would risk leaving millions of potential workers behind.

German factory orders declined in April as demand for investment goods from outside the 19-nation currency region slumped. Orders, adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation, fell 2 percent from the prior month, when they rose a revised 2.6 percent, data from the Economy Ministry in Berlin showed today. The reading, which is typically volatile, compares with economists’ forecast for a drop of 0.5 percent. Orders slid 0.5 percent from a year earlier.   

China must improve monetary policy communication as it takes on an increasingly large role in the global economy, U.S. Treasury Secretary

said today in an interview Jacob J. Lew ahead of talks in Beijing between the two countries. Market gyrations following the People’s Bank of China’s decision in August to devalue the yuan reflected “something that was confusing and not well communicated, and it gave rise to fears that China’s economy was in a much weaker place than it actually appears to be or was perceived by policy makers to be,” Lew said in a Bloomberg Television interview.

China's jobless rate may be three times the official estimate, according to a new report by , whose Fathom ConsultingChina's Underemployment Indicator has tripled to 12.9 percent since 2012 even while the official jobless rate has hovered near 4 percent for five years.

FX Strategists Say the Rebound in the Dollar Is History

The greenback dropped the most in six months versus the euro after a report showing the weakest U.S. jobs growth since 2010 scuppered speculation the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates as soon as this month. The dollar’s tumble was the biggest post-payrolls move in at least a year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “Soft nonfarm payrolls have destroyed three weeks worth of dollar gains,” said Petr Krpata, a foreign-exchange strategist at ING Bank NV in London. “We have seen a massive selloff across the board,” and there aren’t many catalysts for a rebound, he said. The setback is signaling to strategists and traders that May’s gains were just a respite from a bearish trend in the dollar that’s taken hold since the new year.

Fed’s Brainard Urges Caution Amid Mixed Data and Global RisksFederal Reserve Governor Lael

Brainard said that the latest U.S. employment report suggested the labor market has slowed, as she continued to warn against moving too quickly to raise interest rates and cautioned not to take the U.S. recovery “for granted.”

“In this environment, prudent risk management implies there is a benefit to waiting for additional data to provide confidence that domestic activity has rebounded strongly and reassurance that near-term international events will not derail progress toward our goals,” Brainard said in the text of a speech prepared for delivery Friday in Washington.

“Several factors suggest that the appropriate path to return monetary policy to a neutral stance could turn out to be quite shallow and gradual in the medium term,” she told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Brainard said Friday’s job numbers

“suggest that the labor market has slowed” even as she argued that slack remains in the labor force and wages

remain low. She pointed to the historically low level of employment-to-population in the U.S. as a possible explanation.
