WASHINGTON (AP) - Productivity, a key ingredient of the economy's long-term vitality, turned in its best performance in 19 years in the first quarter as hard-pressed companies produced more with fewer workers

US Unemployment 6.0

I really am confused if you are reducing labor and most of this labor is decent wage. If the greatest growth in retail is going only to the very low cost stores and that end of sales is increasing it says to me consumer money is decreasing. If 2/3rds of American people own their own homes the question becomes how many of those are even considering owning them out right re mortgage figures.

So clear me up on my thoughts that include increased office space available, hiring is not up that i know as a matter of fact. When you reduce to min for max efficient you are not going to increase rapidly unless you are running some sort of business that requires the physical ability of additional employees or you are not able to run efficiently.
Like it or not corporations shrinking size will impact the populous they have to as one relies on the other.

I have followed your predictions of the impending gold debacle for some months now, and I admit that you seem to have that "wire into the future" that an analyst needs. So tell me, what price do you see for gold in the coming months? And while we are at it, what will the fed rate be then as well?
