Surprise! - it's sales. I can't remember what would have made them so concerned with insurance in 2002-8, but it's gone now. - skeptonomist Fri, 23 Jul 2010 06:33:39 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1656 Same article. Dean's point is that demand drives hours and employment. I agree. But the article is quite correct to use the phrase "uncertain about the economy's health" because that also means "uncertain about demand". I disagree with Dean's characterisation of the article. I would guess median prices rose in June becaue less low priced home sold. First time buyers had a subsidy, so they bought earlier this year. So median prices rose a bit. - AndrewDover Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:11:08 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1654 Excuse me - last sentence of my post should read "glutting" the market, not "gutting" the market. - Queen of Sheba Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:33:58 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1653 So Andrew, which article were you referring to? Dean's quote was accurate for the article he referenced, including the period at the end of the sentence. The most disturbing part of this piece to me was the reporting of these irrational numbers: "As [home] sales have slowed, the supply of unsold homes on the market has risen 2.5% to nearly 4 million. That's a nearly nine-month supply at the current sales pace, the highest level since August.... The drop in June [home] sales was led by a more than 9% decline from a month earlier in the West. Sales were down 7.5% in the Midwest and down 6.5% in the South. But they rose nearly 8% in the Northeast." and then, after all that bad news about sales: "The median sale price was $183,700, up 1% from a year earlier." How is this possible? Home sales have slowed (and are expected to slow further as the homebuyer credit has ended), the supply of homes in the market is rising - and still the sale price is up 1% over last year? How is this possible? What - or who - is keeping house prices up, and rising, while supply is gutting the market? - Queen of Sheba Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:23:41 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1650 So what's the uncertainty about demand? They already should know there isn't any increase coming until housing wealth is resolved. - fuller schmidt Thu, 22 Jul 2010 06:21:48 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1649 Nope, USA Today [b]correctly[/b] told readers that: "private employers are uncertain about the economy's health and are hesitant to add jobs." because [b]demand is the crucial variable in the economy's health.[/b] - AndrewDover Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:55:52 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/businesses-are-not-hiring-because-of-a-lack-of-demand-not-confidence#comment-1648 People are not buying or creating demand bc they have no jobs; they have no jobs bc businesses are not hiring. - JL Thu, 22 Jul 2010 04:31:38 +0100
