The US economy lost 131,000 jobs in July as temporary census workers completed their work. Private sector employment increased by 71,000 jobs, with manufacturing adding 36,000 and healthcare 27,000. However, these private sector gains were offset by the loss of 202,000 government jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 9.5% as fewer people looked for work. The slow growth in private sector jobs is a concern, as stronger growth is needed to significantly reduce unemployment.Chicago employment update - May 2015

Service sector productivity finally starting to rise 6 jan 17Kitty Ussher
?
For the last few years economists have been worrying about the why productivity has remained stubbornly low even as the economy has got stronger. Part of the story is that employment has risen so strongly that output per hour worked hasn't gone up. There has also been particularly strong growth in the lower value service sector which brings down the average. But data from the ONS today has shown in the last year that even in this sector productivity has started to rise. in the last year even in this sector productivity has started to rise a little, although manufacturing has proved volatile.

This document summarizes a presentation on entity linking using generic linked data datasets. It discusses the motivation for entity linking as a way to structure unstructured natural language texts by linking mentions in text to entities in a knowledge base. It presents the problem that current entity linking approaches only work with a small number of fixed linked data datasets. The researcher's approach, called AELA, aims to solve this by allowing the use of any linked data dataset. However, AELA does not address recognizing generalized entities or individuals with the same name as their class. The presentation outlines next steps to improve AELA, such as evaluating existing methods, developing domain selection techniques, and defining what constitutes an entity.Master Menu

Inflation is important for real estate agents because changes in prices can impact interest rate policy set by the Federal Reserve. While fears of deflation emerged during the financial crisis, inflation has now become a concern, with some worried that high unemployment and inflation could result in stagflation, making it difficult for the Fed to address inflation without further hurting the job market. Producer prices are showing signs of inflation and commodity prices remain high, though consumer prices are more subdued, putting upward pressure on prices from a weak dollar and increasing costs of imported goods.Recovery to Normalcy: Feb 2011

It finds that while consumer confidence about current conditions is low, confidence about the future is improving. It also notes that jobs growth has added over 1 million jobs in the past year but it could take until 2015 to return to normal 6% unemployment levels. The housing market fundamentals have returned to justifiable levels with home prices stabilizing and sales improving in line with job growth, but mortgage underwriting remains too strict. The outlook predicts moderate GDP growth and over 2 million new jobs added annually over the next two years, with housing sales and values expected to improve gradually as the job market recovers.Home Price Monitor
Home Price MonitorNAR Research
?
Home prices were relatively stable in November and December according to most data sources, with slight declines reported for both the month and year by many measures. However, some measures showed slight price increases and new home prices rose robustly. Rising home sales and shrinking inventories are expected to contribute to ongoing price stability, especially for new homes which have inventories near record lows. Strong job growth and increases in job openings and hires bode well for continued growth in home sales and prices in the coming months.How Risky is the FHA¡¯s Low Down Payment Program?
How Risky is the FHA¡¯s Low Down Payment Program?NAR Research
?
The document summarizes concerns about the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) low down payment mortgage program and its effects. It notes that FHA's capital reserves have fallen dangerously low due to increased defaults. While FHA borrowers' credit has improved since 2007, the agency now insures a much larger share of loans with low down payments, which some argue increases risk. However, data shows that high loan-to-value FHA loans have lower foreclosure rates than other products, and stricter underwriting has boosted credit profiles. Removing FHA's low down payment options could significantly hurt the housing market but also reduce risks to taxpayers.Metro Area Monthly Mortgage Payments: 2005 vs 2010

Inflation Watch for January, 2011NAR Research
?
Inflation is important for real estate agents because changes in prices can impact interest rate policy set by the Federal Reserve. During the financial crisis, there were fears of deflation leading to a downward price spiral similar to the Great Depression. While deflation fears have lessened, some worry high inflation in coming years could result in stagflation, with high unemployment and inflation making it hard for central banks to address inflation without further hurting jobs. Commodity and metal prices are rising along with oil, adding inflationary pressure, though the dollar is showing recent strength against these pressures.Daily Economic Update for January 5, 2011

The Bureau of Economic Analysis revised its estimate of third quarter GDP growth upward to 2.6% due to stronger exports, inventory investment, and a moderation in the decline of non-residential fixed investment. However, this was below analysts' expectations due to a reduction in the estimate of personal consumption expenditures. Corporate profits rose 27.2% in the third quarter compared to 2009 due to cost cutting and low interest loans. Mortgage applications fell as rates increased, which could reduce personal consumption, while existing home sales and prices rose slightly in November. The housing market is recovering but rising mortgage rates may limit affordability going forward.Summary of NOVEMBER 2010 Existing Home Sales Statistics
