from Yahoo Market readings for today... hourly workweek

Going back to the July Employment Report, one of the details in the report is worth a closer look. The 18 minute (-0.3 hour) reduction in the workweek was perhaps the worst news in the report as it bodes for continued weak payroll growth in the months immediately ahead. That is, when current staff hours are cut, the likelihood for additional hiring declines. Note that July's 34.0 hour workweek is the shortest since October -- following the sharp economic slowing tied to the September 11 attacks.

me: next is layoffs
