We all got a lesson in Economics 101 over the last several years, starting with the arrival of COVID-19 into our lives. With lockdowns implemented across the country, many businesses folded due to the lack of customers. For those who were able to stay open, the dearth of labor made daily operations a challenge to say the least. The extra dollars added to unemployment benefits and the checks that the federal government sent to many citizens, employed and unemployed, made going back to work optional for some. And so, the competition among businesses for workers willing to wear masks all day and brave an uncertain health environment drove wages up. This rise in wages also contributed to increases in prices for goods and services as business owners needed to cover the increased costs to their production inputs. This lesson isn’t theoretical to me. As an IT manager, I recall vividly the difficulty in hiring and keeping help desk staff during this period. Competition for human resources was fierce in that industry at the time, and my firm wasn’t alone in offering underqualified candidates’ salaries that only a year or two earlier were reserved for either long-time employees or highly experienced applicants. Regardless, our firm did well during most of that period as our services were still in demand by clients and they were willing to pay whatever it took to obtain them. If the U.S. embarks on a program of mass deportation of undocumented workers, this scenario is likely to play out again. Locales like Summit County where the labor from such folks undergirds a large part of our economy, will be susceptible to the economic repercussions of such a program. Undocumented immigrants are present in our retail, hospitality, and construction industries , and we’ve come to rely on them to keep those businesses up and humming. Across Colorado they’re also a big part of the workforce that drives our agricultural commerce , working in the fields and in the slaughterhouses, helping to support an industry that brought $9 billion into our state in 2022 . The end result of shrinking our labor pool will be inflation due to rising wages and greater competition for fewer available goods and services, here and across the country. This, after the Federal Reserve spent the last several years pricing folks out of the housing market via increased interest rates in an attempt to tame the inflation beast. Inflation will raise prices at the grocery store as labor shortages wreak havoc in field production, processing plants, and in supermarkets. Your sub at the sandwich shop will cost more as will meals at sit down restaurants. Looking to get away for a bit? You’re gonna pay more for your stay at that hotel or Airbnb. Some will argue that this shortage in labor will result in more money in the pockets of workers unaffected by the deportations. This may be true, but those same workers will also of course be paying more for the goods and services they consume, making their increases in wages a wash at best. Others may claim that this deportation program will have a positive effect on available housing, an issue that Summit County struggles with. Given that one of the ways we’re currently addressing this issue is through new construction , increased labor costs in that industry will slow the rate at which units are built and raise the prices for new housing. And while there may be a rise in availability of existing rental units due to the deportation of the folks who formerly occupied them, will it be enough to mollify the demand in our area? Maybe, but there’s no reason to believe that increased availability would lower the rent landlords charge, as they too will be affected by the inflationary pressures deportations create. This only addresses the economic pain that mass deportations would cause, saying nothing of the societal costs of such a program. Many of us have come to know some of these undocumented immigrants and appreciate them as friends, neighbors and coworkers. Imagine those same folks snatched from their homes and detained in deportation camps, evoking reminders of the Japanese internment camps in the U.S. during WWII, one of which was in Colorado . Separating children from their families may be an effective deterrent for many border crossers, but it reflects poorly on a society that considers itself a beacon for human rights across the world. I am not saying that illegal immigration doesn’t need to be addressed. It does but should be addressed comprehensively, including stopping illegal border crossings, identifying undocumented immigrants and deporting those who pose a danger to our communities. Those who aren’t a risk and have been contributing economically through payroll taxes should be set on a path towards citizenship. However, priority on that citizenship path needs to be given to those already in the legal immigration system pipeline and will doubtless require expediting improvements to those systems. This is a tall order that will require extensive bipartisan cooperation at all levels and the willingness to abandon the weaponization of immigration as a political issue.

Trump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn’t install more automated systems

It’s not just Alison Hammonds warm personality, wonderful one liners and her ability to fall off a sturdy countertop (watch 70’s week for that stand out moment) that have caught the eye of onlookers this series. But her fashion. The 49-year-old has won over the nation with her affordable high street looks. Wearing a mix of dresses and co-ords throughout the series all in bright patterns and colours Alison has said in the past that she wants fashion to be first and foremost comfortable. As The Great British Bake Off concludes tonight, in which we see Alison wearing a lilac polka dot dress from Dancing Leopard, which sadly is no longer available to buy. However, her other outfits throughout the series have caught the attention of many, with fans asking on social media where her outfits are from and fear not, as Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale shows you where exactly to shop her looks from. Wearing this dress for last week's semi-final Alison showed her playful wild side with this colourful leopard print number. A fun twist on the print that is dominating the high street currently, this particular dress is from Scamp & Dude. For £110 it is at the higher end of the high street, but also comes in lots of different leopard print shades. Plus keep your eyes peeled as the brand currently as up to 30 per cent off in the Black Friday sales. Now as Bake Off is filmed during the spring summer months of the year a few pieces Alison wore have now sold out. Including the top half of this green and orange co-ord from Never Fully Dressed. However, the trousers are still available to buy on Asos and there are plenty of other similar co-ords available directly on Never Fully Dressed. The great things with co-ords is how many outfits they can make, as well as wearing together you have the option to also wear separate to create even more looks. Alison is no stranger to vibrant prints and that is certainly the case with this star dress. By the brand Twisted Wunder, who Alison has worn on the previous series of the show, you can find it stocked on the likes of Simply Be. Still available to buy now it’s reduced down from £69 to £48.30 and goes up to a size 28. The empire line style of this dress is great for those with a larger bust as it fits nicely up top before skimming down the rest of your body, with lovely capped sleeves to finish off. This denim dress worn by Alison in the second week of the show this season is one of the less vibrant pieces. However, you really can’t go wrong when it comes to denim as it never goes out of style. This dress in particular is from Monsoon and retails for £75. With buttons down the middle and a tie font detail it makes for a dress that you can wear no matter the season. For this time of year pair with some tights, knee high boots and a long wool coat, for a smart look that will also keep you warm. To open the show this year Alison opted for the print of the season - leopard. In the classic neutral colours this ticks all the boxes as a dress that is bang on trend. From Karen Millen it’s clear that Alison likes these shirt style dresses with a tie front detail, having worn multiple similar styles throughout the series. This one retails for £89 but is currently in the sale for just £36. Accessorise with some gold jewellery as Alison has done here and let the dress do the the rest of the talking. We know Alison loves a satin co-ord, usually with an elasticated waist and flowy top half, they’re a super comfortable lightweight option. And that is certainly the case for this two piece. This one from River Island is currently on sale, but hurry as there aren’t many sizes left. The shirt is down to £25 from £45 and the trousers are down to £35, also from £45.

(Source: Nasdaq) U.S. job growth surged in November after being severely constrained by hurricanes and strikes, but probably does not signal a material shift in labor market conditions that continue to ease steadily and gives the Federal Reserve leeway to cut interest rates again this month. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 227,000 jobs last month, above the 200,000 estimate of economists polled by Reuters, after rising an upwardly revised 36,000 in October, the Labor Department said on Friday. STOCKS: S&P 500 E-minis were up 9 points, or 0.15% BONDS: The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell 4.5 basis points to 4.138%, the two-year note yield declined 6.5 basis points to 4.081% FOREX: After an initial decline, the dollar index was up 0.11% to 105.84 JACK MCINTYRE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, BRANDYWINE GLOBAL, PHILADELPHIA (via email) “Employment reports are always important to both the markets and the Fed but in the hierarchy of economic data there has been a shift. Next week’s inflation report will be more impactful as inflation is back to being the critical variable. November’s labor release was as expected, resulting in no significant repricing of Fed expectations in 2025. It allows them to ease this month, but next week’s CPI release could change that outcome. “We think the Fed shifts to a more patient tone (think slow and steady) as there is no pressure for them to increase the scale of monetary easing going into 2025. The Fed’s terminal rate is going to be equally as important as the path of how they get to it.” RICK MECKLER, PARTNER, CHERRY LANE INVESTMENTS, NEW VERNON, NEW JERSEY “The report was pretty strong. The report does show the incredible resiliency of the U.S. economy but, then again, you’re at a point where we were already beginning to lower rates and easing some of the pressure higher short-term rates had on markets. “The change in the government and the upcoming new economic agenda is really overshadowing economic news. “The conclusion of the election took away some of the uncertainty that may have led businesses to think about adding employees or making plans for 2025. One big factor, though, will be is the government serious about a drastic reduction of federal jobs for cost-saving purposes, and what impact that will have on future job reports.” JAMIE COX, MANAGING PARTNER, HARRIS FINANCIAL GROUP, RICHMOND VIRGINIA “These data clear the path for the Federal Reserve to further reduce the policy rate in December–nothing in these jobs data supports a pause in normalization. “The labor market has stabilized and remains stronger than all of the naysayers have led people to believe. A stable labor market supports a strong consumer based economy, and that’s exactly what the data have shown all year long.” BRYON ANDERSON, HEAD OF FIXED INCOME, LAFFER TENGLER INVESTMENTS (via email) “After a prior month of hurricanes and worker strikes, we did get a bounce back in the headline payroll numbers plus positive revisions. The bigger trends of hourly earnings still increasing at a healthy rate and unemployment rate staying relatively flat gives us confidence in the overall economy. “Markets will react short term over small pieces of data, but we still feel the trends are stable enough for the underlying job market. There is a bifurcation of the consumer in the US, and the top quintiles have a greater share of income and wealth, and they are still spending which is buffeting this economy. Jobs creation may not be as robust as in the past years, but we are not seeing a disaster in the job market.” BRIAN JACOBSEN, CHIEF ECONOMIST, ANNEX WEALTH MANAGEMENT, MENOMONEE FALLS, WISCONSIN “A bigger bounce than expected. Payrolls recovered from the weak October reading. Wages increased at a healthy, but not alarming pace. Non-cyclical areas like healthcare and government are still the main drivers of payroll gains, but even cyclical areas are at least treading water. Overall, it looks like there’s no reason to worry about an imminent recession and there’s no reason for the Fed to take a pause on cuts quite yet.” PETER CARDILLO, CHIEF MARKET ECONOMIST, SPARTAN CAPITAL SECURITIES, NEW YORK “Job creation was in basically in line with market expectations, the (October) revisions of up 36,000 probably due to weather related situations. Wages were a little bit higher than we were looking for, but on a year to year it basically held steady. “These are basically good numbers, and it continues to show that the average nonfarm payrolls this year have been 205,000 to 210,000. It indicates that there’s no recession in sight. This (report) does not interrupt the Fed from lowering rates at the next FMOC meeting by 25 basis points.” GENNADIY GOLDBERG, HEAD OF U.S. RATES STRATEGY, TD SECURITIES, NEW YORK “The market is a little bit confused as to what to do with this particular payroll report. It wasn’t quite as strong as some of the whisper numbers were expecting, the market was already 220K, so it barely beat the headline. The upward revision didn’t seem to convince markets as well, I mean 56K for the last few months. And you’ve got the four-month trend, if you smooth over some of the recent volatility, running at around 143K, so basically just below 150k, and I think that’s really the trend pace here. “The unemployment rate rising is certainly keeping the market on their toes, so I think that’s not a positive here, but wage growth is strong. So, it’s a bit of a noisy report, but I think what it means is the Fed can safely deliver another rate cut in December and then maybe communicate a possible pause coming as soon as the January meeting. “A 150K or so run rate for payrolls, it’s not exactly a wonderful economy, but it’s also an economy that doesn’t seem to be decelerating as sharply as everyone expected a few months ago.” LINDSAY ROSNER, HEAD OF MULTI-SECTOR INVESTING, GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT (via email) “Data this morning was a Thanksgiving buffet with payrolls spot on, revisions positive, but unemployment ticking higher despite the participation rate falling. This print doesn’t kill the holiday spirit and the Fed remains on track to deliver a cut in December.” PAUL CHRISTOPHER, HEAD OF GLOBAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY, WELLS FARGO INVESTMENT INSTITUTE, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI “This is a pretty much in line report. What caught our eye was the tick higher in earnings. That’s going to help the economy remain strong heading into the New Year. Markets would’ve been looking for any sign of weakness. “It probably cements the Fed with another quarter point cut in December. The jobs number is not particularly outrageously strong. It’s more in line with averages. “The economy is fine. As long as the labor market doesn’t collapse the Fed is going to watch inflation really closely. Inflation is really kind of sticky right now, and that’s why I think we think there’s only this December cut and one more. “Going forward for the Fed, I think that (the Fed) will probably take a pause in the New Year, at least in January. The Fed is going to want to see what the new administration’s economic whether or not the new administration’s economic plan goes into full force.” Source: Reuters (Compiled by the Global Finance & Markets Breaking News team)Rivalry Closes Third Tranche Of Non-Brokered Private PlacementWorkday Announces Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Financial Results

By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday voiced his support for the dockworkers union before their contract expires next month at Eastern and Gulf Coast ports, saying that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers.

Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn’t be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies. At the heart of the dispute is whether ports can install automated gates, cranes and container-moving trucks that could make it faster to unload and load ships. The union argues that automation would lead to fewer jobs, even though higher levels of productivity could do more to boost the salaries of remaining workers. The Maritime Alliance said in a statement that the contract goes beyond ports to “supporting American consumers and giving American businesses access to the global marketplace – from farmers, to manufacturers, to small businesses, and innovative start-ups looking for new markets to sell their products.” “To achieve this, we need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains,” said the alliance, adding that it looks forward to working with Trump. In October, the union representing 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for three days, raising the risk that a prolonged shutdown could push up inflation by making it difficult to unload container ships and export American products overseas. The issue pits an incoming president who won November’s election on the promise of bringing down prices against commitments to support blue-collar workers along with the kinds of advanced technology that drew him support from Silicon Valley elite such as billionaire Elon Musk. Trump sought to portray the dispute as being between U.S. workers and foreign companies, but advanced ports are also key for staying globally competitive. China is opening a $1.3 billion port in Peru that could accommodate ships too large for the Panama Canal. There is a risk that shippers could move to other ports, which could also lead to job losses. Mexico is constructing a port that is highly automated, while Dubai, Singapore and Rotterdam already have more advanced ports. Instead, Trump said that ports and shipping companies should eschew “machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced.” “For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries,” Trump posted. “It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!”The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies.

On Wednesday, Peppermint appeared on CNN’s “Newsnight with Abby Phillips” alongside fellow trans activist Shane Diamond, both of whom were representing GLAAD, to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court case surrounding Tennessee’s law banning sex change drugs and procedures for minors who believe they are transgender. Peppermint and Shane Diamond deployed a slew of euphemisms to argue their case — describing irreversible and experimental trans procedures as “healthcare” and even renaming puberty blockers as puberty “delayers.” They also contended that the science is settled on the matter — even though countries in western Europe have recently revised their own stances. “I think that lawmakers should not be the arbiters of people’s healthcare. That should be between the patient and the doctor,” Peppermint said, later adding: “I don’t think being transgender or seeking medical care is political. I think it has been politicized largely by the right to create this type of conversation, to create these wedges.” Later, Shane Diamond used the term puberty “delayers” — a re-branding of “puberty blockers,” the controversial and experimental medication whose potential long-term risks are include mental illness, brittle bones , and in some cases, sterility. “This is a delay. This is full reversible,” Diamond claimed, despite some studies showing that they are not reversible. Peppermint is the latest celebrity to insert themselves in the debate around the Supreme Court case. Others include Hollywood stars Annette Bening and Elliot Page , formerly Ellen Page. The Supreme Court is expected to release its decision on the Tennessee case some time in 2025. Follow David Ng on Twitter @HeyItsDavidNg . Have a tip? Contact me at dng@breitbart.com
