Trouble ahead ?
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
A basket of leading U.S. economic indicators fell in October for the fifth straight month, a trend often associated with a sharp slowdown in economic growth. But many economists took the report with big grains of salt.
The Conference Board, a private research firm, said its index of leading economic indicators fell 0.3% this month, the fifth straight month of declines, something that hasn't happened since the first five months of 1995. That year, the declines preceded an annualized gross domestic product growth rate in the second quarter of just 0.7%. Five straight LEI declines in 1990 preceded the 1990-91 recession. The LEI's latest slide has been echoed by another set of leading indicators, compiled by the Economic Cycle Research Institute. Though most observers believe the economy is doing fine, if decelerating a smidge, these are the sorts of dashboard indicators that give some economists pause. "Five LEI declines don't mean the economy is falling off a cliff," said Conference Board economist Ken Goldstein, "but this kind of thing is rare enough that, when it does happen, maybe we should be paying attention to it."

Stocks edged lower Friday morning, after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan made comments about the weakening dollar. Strong earnings news from Walt Disney helped ease damage on the Dow industrials.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell five points to 10567.90. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was flat and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell by four points to 2100.54.
In a speech before the European Banking Congress in Frankfurt, Mr. Greenspan expressed concerns about the stability of the dollar in the face of rising current-account deficit in the U.S.
"Current account imbalances, per se, need not be a problem, but cumulative deficits, which result in a marked decline of a country's net international investment position -- as is occurring in the United States -- raise more complex issues," said the Fed Chairman.
The euro gained against the dollar to $1.3051 from $1.2963 the day earlier. The dollar fell to ¥103.04 from ¥104.22.
Currency experts don't expect the dollar's slide to abate any time soon. "I think we could see the euro hit around $1.35 by the end of the year," said Ashraf Laidi, chief currency analyst for MG Financial Group.

Потихоньку-полегоньку, без особой огласки, сокращают высокооплачиваемые кадры, повышений оплаты и бонусов как раньше уже нет...
я знаю, что десять лет назад job section в газете была толщиной пять сантиметров, а теперь едва на страницу наберется..

Вот оффициальная статистика. Unempolyment сеичас меше чем 10 лет назад, и мэше чем 2 года назад. Республиканцы? Нет, скорее обычная цикличность економики...
Это средняя температура по больнице! А по отраслям ?
