Okay, Initial Jobless Claims were down, Continuing Jobless Claims were up, so the unemployment picture hasn’t brightened much.
The Producer Price Index increased at a rate of 6.8% annually, that’s up from 5.8% last month, so there’s some more inflationary pressure.
And for those of you who don’t eat, don’t drive a car, don’t use A/C during the summer, and aren’t going on a vacation this summer, The Producer Price Index Ex Food & Energy increase at a rate of 2.1% annually, that’s up from 1.8% last month. So even for those lucky few there’s clearly and increase in price pressure.
