Hey, What’d I Miss? OTE Summary 5/1 — 5/5

  • On April’s employment numbers:  previewing the data on Jobs Day Eve, highlighting my first impressions of a confusing month of labor market data and explaining why I doubt April’s jobs data will be any sort of game changer for the Fed.
  • Illustrating how high frequency trading comes to be.
  • Analyzing the impact of the labor force when the US job market gets back to full employment.
  • Looking at wages, slack, labor force participation, and the Fed.

Music:  enjoying a slightly more staid version of the “Talk Dirty” by Kevin Spacey and the Ragtime Gals in this week’s musical interlude.

    Explain to me again why it takes 60% of the Senate to pass a bill. This is unconstitutional.

    Not afraid of Republican control without Democrats able to filibuster because Republicans are always able to pick off a few blue dog Democrats anyway. Not that they need them (hence 80% of Bush tax cuts, RomneyCare, etc)
