Private jobs were up by 906,000, led by an increase of 271,000 in hospitality and leisure, a sector that has been hit particularly hard by pandemic shutdowns. Government jobs, however, fell by 268,000. The majority of the losses were in state and local education, 61,000 and 98,000, respectively. The loss of 147,000 temporary 2020 census workers contributed to a net loss in federal employment of 138,000. The loss of public education jobs as well as private education job losses of 21,500 is likely reflective of the extent of remote learning and the reduced need for support staff.</em></p> <p><em>State and local employment constitute 13% of the total non-farm payroll, and slow growth in state and local employment after last decade’s financial crisis contributed to a slow recovery.</em></p> <p>Full article: <a href="https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/business/briefs/2020/11/16/patricia-healy-government-employment-falls/6248751002/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/business/briefs/2020/11/16/patricia-healy-government-employment-falls/6248751002/</a></p> <hr /> <p>John Mousseau Quoted<br /> <strong>Muni yields fall as new-issues oversubscribed; ICI reports inflows</strong><br /> Nov 18, 2020 - By Chip Barnett, Christine Albano</p> <p><em>Dan Urbanowicz, director and fixed income portfolio manager at Washington Crossing Advisors said “following-through on the $38 billion in orders for New Jersey's GO deal yesterday, most of the new issues today, including Massachusetts GO, are oversubscribed and repricing 5 to 10 basis points lower in yield.”</em></p> <p><em>Elsewhere, market technicals are being impacted by the COVID-19 climate.</em></p> <p><em>“We're seeing a renewed supply/demand imbalance in the market,” he said.</em></p> <p><em>The significant oversubscription was a sign of the times, according to John Mousseau, president of Cumberland Advisors.</em></p> <p><em>“Pandemically affected yield sells,” he said after the pricing.</em></p> <p>Full article (Paywall): <a href="https://www.bondbuyer.com/news/muni-yields-fall-new-issues-oversubscribed-inflows-return" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">https://www.bondbuyer.com/news/muni-yields-fall-new-issues-oversubscribed-inflows-return</a></p> <hr /> <p>David R. Kotok Quoted<br /> <strong>The US economy is about to shrink, JPMorgan warns</strong><br /> Nov 20, 2020 - By Matt Egan, CNN Business</p> <p><em>The federal government can't agree on how to treat the renewed economic weakness. Republicans and Democrats have repeatedly failed to reach a deal on new fiscal relief, setting up a scenario where 12 million Americans could lose benefits by the end of the year.</em></p> <p><em>"Congress has failed the country," said David Kotok, chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors.</em></p> <p><em>Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, slammed Congress for an "appalling dereliction of duty."</em></p> <p><em>The Treasury Department added to the mess Thursday by yanking $455 billion of funds the Federal Reserve was using for emergency lending programs. The Fed issued a statement opposing the move, marking a rare public dispute between the central bank and Treasury Department -— in the middle of a crisis, no less.</em></p> <p><em>Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said those funds can be used by Congress to stimulate the economy, but there's no guarantee a deal can be reached there. And this is a bizarre time to remove ammo the Fed is using to fight the crisis.</em></p> <p><em>"Trump would have signed a bill pre-election. Now he is unpredictable and our national government seems to be in chaos," Kotok said.</em></p> <p>Full article: <a href="https://www.kitv.com/story/42943947/the-us-economy-is-about-to-shrink-jpmorgan-warns" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.kitv.com/story/42943947/the-us-economy-is-about-to-shrink-jpmorgan-warns</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <hr /> <p>David R.
