REALLY doing?

THE FABLE OF THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

It’sFlying!

It’s going to crash!

It’s stagnating!

It’s in a recession!

It’s

hit a wall! It’sin

recovery!

My Not-So-Secret Formula

• Year-Over Percent Change in Nonfarm Jobs.– “Year-over” change between one month and the same

month the previous year. (March 2010 employment compared to March 2009 employment).

– Employment data is current and some of the best data around.

– It’s easy.– Available for small areas.– Not what the Bureau of Labor publishes in their press

release—not seasonally adjusted.

Most Importantly. . .

• It works!• Nationally, when year-

over growth rates trend down and eventually result in job loss, there has always a recession as defined by NBER.
