It does not matter whether you love or hate President Trump, the economy is not influenced by your individual feelings or emotions. Nancy Pelosi, who does not hate President Trump and who is a great Catholic, is praying for the economy and President Trump. [President Trump is praying for her also. The Big Red Car […]

Big Red Car here, snowing in the Panhandle and going to be 30F in the ATX tonight? Yes. Snow tonight? Nah. So, I like to take a look at information below the surface to prove or disprove what the surface currents seem to indicate. One of my favorites is to plumb the depth of the […]

Labor by the Numbers

Big Red Car here looking for some labor love. Nah, I’m way overstocked in love, but I do want to talk about how the labor picture looks in the United States. The top line shout out is — low unemployment, wage gains, and more job openings than people to fill them, but the real picture […]

Big Red Car here on a Saturday morning getting ready to go out for blueberry pancakes at the Counter Cafe. I have always been interested in delving beneath the covers of employment in the United States.

Employment, Big Red Car – what about employment? Dear reader, US employment and unemployment are both headed in the right direction, but there is a concern we need to discuss. We need to discuss the Labor Force Participation Rate. Do you know what that means? The LFPR is the percentage of folks aged 16-64 (the […]

Big Red Car here. Still smarting from the weak jobs report on Friday. Seems like we cannot even tell ourselves the truth particularly when it is unpleasant and not what we want to hear. Some “cut the crap” straight talk from the Big Red Car. A Big Miss In the prediction of new jobs business […]
