Labor Market Added 517,000 Jobs In January—Unemployment Rate Falls To 54-Year Low Of 3.4%
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Despite waves of layoffs hitting some of the nation’s largest employers, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, and the labor market added back more jobs than expected in January—adding to signs the economy may not be slowing down enough enough for the Federal Reserve to back away from its aggressive campaign to tame rising prices. Key Facts Total employment increased by 517,000 in January—significantly more than the 187,000 new jobs economists were expecting, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department. Despite growing announcements of corporate layoffs last month, the unemployment rate fell to 3.4%—coming in below expectations for it to tick up to 3.6% and instead hitting the lowest level since 1969.

How Netflix Crackdown On Password Sharing Might Play Out
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Netflix NFLX has revealed what its planned crackdown on password sharing in 2023 could look like in the United States. The streamer published details about password plans implemented in several other countries on a U.S. help page (accidentally, at first) on Wednesday and said it would begin a similar program domestically by second quarter. Netflix has long claimed that password sharing, or allowing those outside the immediate family to use a password to access the streamer’s programming, has dramatically cut into its potential user base. Now, subscribers will need to pay a small fee to add a new user to their account. They will also be required to watch something once a month from home Wi-Fi to log a consistent home address, allowing Netflix to track where the passwords are being used. The streaming giant has predicted the changes could lead some users to cancel their service. That’s certainly one … [Read more...] about How Netflix Crackdown On Password Sharing Might Play Out

How Fashion Concept Shop, Curio, Became Miami’s Most Desirable Shopping Destination
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There’s a saying that says hard work + timing + talent = success. Sometimes, luck is even thrown into that equation. It’s clear that for the founders of Curio, the Miami-based high-fashion concept store, Danielle Licata and Jeffrey Lasota, they not only have all the ingredients for the recipe for success, but they have made one heck of a smorgasbord out of it. The duo launched Curio in the Faena Bazaar in December of 2019, literally moments before the pandemic gripped the world. For that reason alone the curated retail experience had every reason to fail. Curio entered the market as a high-end retail concept the size of a small department store which launched within a climate where e-commerce was pinned against brick and mortar. And then, the world was hit with the most catastrophic global event in recent history. At this point, the odds did not look good for the founders, but unbeknownst to them at that moment, timing was … [Read more...] about How Fashion Concept Shop, Curio, Became Miami’s Most Desirable Shopping Destination
FTSE 100 Break Out Preempts Bank Of England Surrender To Inflation
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The U.K. financial system nearly broke this autumn when rising interest rates created a vicious circle of margin calls driving the stock market into free fall and with it a cycle of rising interest rates driving bond yields up causing further margin calls to the pension fund institutions. This kind of hidden danger is just what causes crashes. Pension funds had levered their government bond portfolios to the roof to reach for higher returns. Back in the day these same funds had been squeezed by the regulator out of stocks and into bonds so as not to add too much risk to their funds and get into exactly the vicious circle they now found themselves in by turning safe bonds into mountains of dangerous leverage. What irony! Well, not really. The thing is this, who is going to buy the bonds of a country up to its ears in debt with an out of whack fiscal deficit heading into a recession, let alone buy the bonds of a … [Read more...] about FTSE 100 Break Out Preempts Bank Of England Surrender To Inflation
