Figures of employment in the United States and recession
The figures of employment just published are misleading: they show a total increase in employment in September which occults the recession.
*
Indeed, 126,700 jobs were created in September (and also in August) in certain seasonal sectors like:
- accommodations and food services (+ 35,900 to 11,652 million),
- education (+ 27,000 in the State government to 2,352 million and + 18,800 in local government to 8,062 million)
- in marginal sectors not subjected to competition like health and… social assistance (+ 45,000 to 15,490 million)…
*
In the business, 97,600 employment was removed in:
- employment services (- 34,900 to 3,471 million),
- manufacturing (- 18,000 to 13,983 million),
- trade for the house (- 16,700 to 1,290 million),
- construction (- 14,000 to 7,613 million),
- financial (- 14,000 to 8,448 million).
*
Only some marginal sectors engaged:
- 10,000 jobs were created in accountancy (to 966,000) and
- 9,700 in management (to 1,011 million)!
It is little.

The markets are mistaken by thinking that all is well!
I maintain my analyses: the recession is perhaps already there.
In any case, the growth of the GDP is very weak.
The announced collapse will occur.

The creations of jobs were weak during the Bush years and strong during the Clinton years, while waiting for the next ones…
