Recent Jobless Claims News Is Nothing To Celebrate

Recent Jobless Claims News Is Nothing To Celebrate | Real Estate Trending | Scoop.it
The drop in the unemployment rate in August to a 4 1/2-year low was hardly cause for celebration. The rate fell because more people stopped looking for work. More than 300,000 people were no longer working or looking for a job. Their exodus shrank the so-called labor force participation rate — the percentage of adult Americans with a job or seeking one — to 63.2 percent. It's the lowest participation rate since August 1978.

Amazon as a Property Portal?

Amazon as a Property Portal? | Real Estate Trending | Scoop.it
For Amazon the core to their business is data. In the US the core starting point for property data is the 900+ MLS’s that are the dinosaurs of the industry – for Amazon equally as major a hurdle to overcome as Trulia and Zillow have found. However Amazon is not purely a US company and therefore it is not inconceivable to see Amazon launch a real estate serendipity engine in the UK for example where comprehensive data already exists of users as well as listings.

Bernanke: Fed flexible on economic stimulus - NBC News.com

Bernanke: Fed flexible on economic stimulus - NBC News.com | Real Estate Trending | Scoop.it

"Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank could begin tapering bond purchases aimed at boosting the economy later this year. But he stressed that could change, depending on how the economy performs.

 

In prepared remarks for his semiannual monetary report before the House financial services committee, the Fed chairman said, "With unemployment still high and declining only gradually, and with inflation running below the Committee's longer-run objective, a highly accommodative monetary policy will remain appropriate for the foreseeable future."

 

Bernanke said that if the incoming economic data confirms a strengthening labor market and inflation moving back toward the central bank's 2 percent target, "We anticipated that it would be appropriate to begin to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year."

 

But he emphasized that this plan is not a "preset course."
