The wild ride in job reports continues, this time to the upside with the unemployment unchanged but employment down. 雇用統計は大きく変化し、今回は表向き失業率は変わらずだが、しかしemployment 就業は減った。
Initial Reaction 当初の反応
In January, the BLS reported the population supposedly shrunk by
649,000. Last month the jobs only rose by 20,000. This month the BLS
says job gains were 196,0000. But the BLS also says employment fell by
201,000. The wild fluctuations continue.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for January was
revised up from +311,000 to +312,000, and the change for February was
revised up from +20,000 to +33,000. With these revisions, employment
gains in January and February combined were 14,000 more than previously
reported. After revisions, job gains have averaged 180,000 per month
over the last 3 months.

Birth Death Model 出生死亡モデル
Starting January 2014, I dropped the Birth/Death Model
charts from this report. For those who follow the numbers, I retain
this caution: Do not subtract the reported Birth-Death number from the
reported headline number. That approach is statistically invalid. Should
anything interesting arise in the Birth/Death numbers, I will comment
further.
Table 15 BLS Alternative Measures of Unemployment 図１５ BLSによる他の失業率指標
Table A-15 is where one can find a better approximation of what the unemployment rate really is.
図A-15を見ることで本当の失業率に対するより「better」な数値を見つけることができる。
Notice I said “better” approximation not to be confused with “good” approximation.
注意してほしいが私は「better」というわけで「good」と混同しないように
The official unemployment rate is 3.8%. However, if you start
counting all the people who want a job but gave up, all the people with
part-time jobs that want a full-time job, all the people who dropped off
the unemployment rolls because their unemployment benefits ran out,
etc., you get a closer picture of what the unemployment rate is. That
number is in the last row labeled U-6.
Some of those dropping out of the labor force retired because they
wanted to retire. The rest is disability fraud, forced retirement,
discouraged workers, and kids moving back home because they cannot find a
job.
In
the payroll survey, three part-time jobs count as three jobs. The BLS
attempts to factor this in, but they do not weed out duplicate Social
Security numbers. The potential for double-counting jobs in the payroll
survey is large.
Household Survey vs. Payroll Survey 家計調査 vs. 雇用調査
The payroll survey (sometimes called the establishment survey) is the
headline jobs number, generally released the first Friday of every
month. It is based on employer reporting.
The household survey is a phone survey conducted by the BLS. It measures unemployment and many other factors.
家計調査はBLSによる電話聞き取り調査だ。これで失業とか他の多くのことを調べる。
If you work one hour, you are employed. If you don’t have a job and
fail to look for one, you are not considered unemployed, rather, you
drop out of the labor force.
These distortions artificially lower the unemployment rate,
artificially boost full-time employment, and artificially increase the
payroll jobs report every month.
Final Thoughts 最終的に思うところ
The past several jobs reports have had wild fluctuations. This month
repeated the story but in different ways. Last month I commented: “The
three month average of jobs is now +186,000 per month but the three
month average in employment is only +47,000 per month.”
過去の雇用統計は大きく変動している。今月も同様だがその原因は大きく異なる。先月私がコメントしたが：「３ヶ月平均で雇用 jobs は＋１８６，０００／月だが、しかし三ヶ月平均の就業数 employment はわずか＋４７，０００／月だ。」
That discrepancy continues. For the last three months, jobs
are up an average of 180,000 per month. Employment is up 54,000 per
month.
Year-over-year employment went from 155,160 to 156,748. That’s an average of 132,000 per month and slowing, if the trend holds.

And it’s not just the ingredients, China wants to become the world’s dominant generic drug maker. So far Chinese companies are making generic for everything from high blood pressure to chemotherapy drugs. 90 percent of America’s prescriptions a...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ２週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
米国はよく理解してませんが、日本の場合では量的緩和で日銀が国債買い上げした資金は日銀当座預金にそのままです、市中には流れていません。でもNHKのニュース等では「ジャブジャブ」という表現をアナウンサーが使い、さらに丁寧に水道の蛇口からお金が吐き出される画像まで示してくれます。これって心理効果が大きいですよね。量的緩和とは何かを７時のニュースや新聞でこれ以上丁寧に解説するのはそう簡単ではありません。一般の人も株式をやっている人も「イメージ」で捉える以上はそう簡単にできません。多くの人は量的緩和とはなにか、を理解していないと私は想像しています。 ただし、国債を買い上げるので長期金利が低下し住宅ローン金利等が下がったのは確実な効果です。一方で長短金利差が少なくなると銀行のビジネスモデルが成り立たなくなりますが。 This Is The One Chart Every Trader Should Have "Taped To Their Screen" by Tyler Durden Sat, 01/19/2019 - 18:55 After a year of tapering, the Fed’s balance sheet finally captured the market’s attention during the last three months of 2018. 一年間のテーパリング後、FEDバランスシートがとうとう市場の注目をあびることになった、２０１８年の最後の３ヶ月だ。 By the start of the fourth quarter, the Fed had finished raising the caps on monthly roll-off of its balance sheet to the full $50bn per month (peaking at $30bn USTs, $20bn MBS...
１００年に一度と言われる出来事が過去２０年で二回も起き、今度が三度目になるかどうか？ Ignore The Yield Curve, They Said… 03-30-19 Written by Lance Roberts | Mar, 30, 2019 A Run For The Highs 高値に向かう Friday wrapped up the first quarter of 2019, and it was the best quarterly performance since 2009. As shown in the chart below, if you bought the bottom, you are “ killing it.” ２０１９Q1も金曜に終わり、２００９年以来最良の四半期だった。下のチャートに示すが、もしみなさんが底値でかっていたなら、「息を呑まんばかりだ」ったろう。 However, you didn’t. しかしながら、そうはしなかったでしょう。 Despite all of the media “hoopla” about the rally, the reality is that for most, they are simply getting back to even over the last year. どのメディアもこのラリーで「大騒ぎ」だが、現実を思い起こすと、これは単に昨年のレベルに戻っただけのことだ。 That is, assuming you didn’t “sell the bottom” in December, which by looking at allocation changes, certainly appears to be the case for many. ということで、みなさんは１２月の「底値で売る」ようなことをしなかったろう、それは多くの人も同じことだ。 If we deconstruct the ratio we can see the rotation a bit better この比率を分析すると資金移動をもう少しよく理解できる Not surpr...
