Economist Joel Naroff says labor market 'mediocre' ( 8:42am

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The September nonfarm payroll data shows a "mediocre" labor market, said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
"There is not a whole lot of strength there," Naroff said.
His forecast of 87,000 jobs created was close to the actual 96,000 payroll gain reported by the Labor Department."
He said Q3 GDP may be strong, but it is not reflective of the underlying factors.
"We have moderate growth and a mediocre labor market, that is what this is saying," Naroff said.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - In a blow to President Bush's re-election hopes, the U.S. economy added a disappointing 96,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department estimated Friday.

The unemployment rate was steady at 5.4 percent in September. Read the full release.

In a campaign that could hinge on the state of the economy, the latest figures show four straight months of weak job growth after three strong months in the spring.

In the past 13 months, payrolls have risen by 1.8 million, although payrolls are down about 800,000 since Bush took office in early 2001.

Bush would be the first president since Herbert Hoover to show no net job growth in his term.

Economists were expecting payrolls to grow by about 138,000 in September and for the unemployment rate to remain at 5.4 percent, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch.

Gains in nonfarm payrolls in July and August were revised down by a total of 4,000. July's gain was revised higher to 85,000 while August was revised lower to 128,000.

In the past three months, payrolls have grown by an average of 103,000 after rising by an average of 295,000 per month in the spring. About 150,000 new jobs are needed each month to absorb population growth.

The government agency said it would revise or "benchmark" its payroll survey in February by an estimated 236,000 more jobs, or about 0.2 percent of employment. The benchmark revision allows the government to incorporate better data from state unemployment offices to better capture jobs created by new firms.

A series of powerful hurricanes that pummeled Florida and other Southeast states had only a minor impact on job growth, the Labor Department said.

"It is not possible to quantify precisely the net impact," the agency said. "The severe weather appears to have held down employment growth, but not enough to change materially the bureau's assessment of the employment situation."

Average hourly earnings increased 3 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $15.78. Hourly wages are up 2.4 percent in the past year.

The average workweek was steady at 33.8 hours in September. The average workweek in manufacturing fell 0.1 hours to 40.8. Manufacturing overtime was unchanged at 4.6 hours.

Aggregate hours worked in the economy increased 0.1 percent.

The household survey showed 8 million people were unemployed, down 19,000. Employment fell by 201,000 to 139.5 million.

The labor participation rate fell by a tenth to 65.9 percent while the employment-to-population ratio fell by a tenth to 62.3 percent

In September, manufacturing industries lost 18,000 jobs.

Service-producing sectors added 109,000 jobs. Government added 37,000 jobs.

Retail lost 15,000, financial added 26,000 and professional and business services added 34,000 jobs. Temporary help jobs rose by 33,000.
