Area prices were down for the month, but up nearly 3.1 percent over a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

NEW YORK, March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report of a 192,000 February increase in payrolls shows employment has rebounded from a disappointing start to 2011. While the increase in employment continues to lag the pick-up in the broader economy, it is encouraging to see the job numbers moving in the right direction. However, once we account for the recovery from January's weather effect, February's gains hardly suggest an acceleration relative to the slow trend of about 100,000 jobs per month during the second half of 2010. Assuming an aggregate productivity trend, including government, of about 1.5 percent, the economy would need to grow well beyond 3 percent in order to double the trend to an average of 200,000 jobs over the next couple of months. ...

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report of a 36,000 January increase in payrolls is again disappointing, however inclement weather played some role in suppressing the overall payroll count. Those with a job, but not able to get to work, was nearly three times higher than the average January figure. The U.S. labor market remains unable to catch the recovery momentum of the broader economy. Today's number, combined with the recent downward trend in jobless claims, suggests we are still seeing only a slowdown in layoffs, not yet any significant pickup in hiring. Another steep monthly decline in the unemployment rate was mostly a reflection of discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force - clearly not a vote of confidence for the labor ma...
The current research hypothesizes that high school club participation increases future earnings. The data used to test this theory is the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort, rounds 1-20 (NLSY79) (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2004), which collected information on individuals from 1979 through 2002. Initially, the survey was conducted on a representative sample of 12,686 persons. These individuals were surveyed annually from 1979 until 1994 and biannually thereafter. The current study employs an OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression model to assess the validity of the hypothesized conceptual model of the relationship between club participation and household income. The study shows significant findings that club participation correlates with higher future earnings of Americ...
