APB: Venda do Novo Banco "valoriza o sistema financeiro"

[Ertai]

Realmente vendo por essa prespectiva...

O problema é que para já os dados económicos maus são encarados como negativos para os mercados.. pelo menos ontem pareceu.

De qualquer maneira hoje se o NASDAQ bate nos 2000 provavelmente vai ter um rebound, e quem sabe, fechar positivo..

Isto foi é muito bom para os mercados !!!

Não há agora pressões adicionais para a subida dos juros.

A ver vamos !!

Um abraço

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Job growth in the United States slowed in June after three months of robust hiring, the Labor Department estimated Friday.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 112,000 in June, less than half the 244,000 expected by Wall Street economists surveyed by CBS MarketWatch.

Employment fell by 11,000 in the manufacturing sector after four months of growth.

The unemployment rate remained at 5.6 percent as expected. The rate has been at 5.6 percent for five of the past six months.

Average hourly wages rose by 2 cents to $15.65, a 0.1 percent increase, less than the 0.3 percent expected.

Payroll growth in April and May was revised lower by a cumulative 37,000. Over the past three months, payroll growth has averaged 224,000 a month. Since August, the economy has created 1.5 million nonfarm payrolls jobs to a total of 131.3 million

The details of the report were weak. The average workweek fell by two tenths of an hour to 33.6 hours. Total hours worked in the economy dropped 0.6 percent.

Fewer industries were hiring in June. Of 278 industries, 57 percent added jobs in June, down from 64.6 percent in May and the lowest since February. Of 84 manufacturing industries, 45.8 percent were hiring in June, down from 60.7 percent in May.

Payroll gains were concentrated in services, which grew 122,000. Goods-producing industries lost 10,000 jobs, including 11,000 in manufacturing. Government payrolls fell by 5,000.

Within services, hiring was strongest in the health-care and business services. Health care added 30,000 jobs, while professional services added 23,000 jobs. Temporary help services added 12,000 jobs.

The separate survey of households showed employment rose by 259,000 in June to 139 million while unemployment rose by 45,000 to 8.25 million. The percentage of adults in the labor force rose to 66 percent from 65.9 percent, while the percentage of adults who were employed ticked higher to 62.3 percent.

Long-term unemployment was little changed. In June, 1.8 million of the 8.25 million jobless, or 21.6 percent, had been out of work longer than six months. The average duration of unemployment fell to 19.9 weeks from 20 weeks, while the median duration rose to 10.8 weeks from 10 weeks.
