June Unemployment Report

Some opinions about today's BLS June Employement Report


From the Calculated Risk Blog:

Overall this was a weak report.

WSJ Real Time Economics Blog provided opinions from economists. Here are some excerpts.

From Stephen Stanley, Pierpoint Securities

I still see a full-blown double dip as a remote possibility at this point. Instead, I would look for a period of slower growth

From Dan Greenhaus, Miller Tabak

The bottom line is that job growth is ongoing, but the pace of growth is not nearly enough to meaningfully impact the unemployment rate in a sustainable manner.
