A GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT, JOBS REPORT
lt looks like spring has finally arrived for the U.S. economy, but it is not time to crack out the bubbly just yet.
The headline figure in Friday's employment report - 288,000 jobs added in April - was encouraging, as were some other details in the report. After the latest revisions, job growth in the past three months averages to about 240,000, a marked improvement over last year.
Moreover, the job creation seems to be broadly based. Construction, retail, and professional services ali saw big jumps in payroll numbers last month, indicating that the economy is recovering from the cold winter. lf this trend is sustained, the recovery will, by historical standards, start to look more normal, and healthier.
That's what 1, and others, predicted at the start of the year, but the cold winter delayed the expected increase in hiring and spending. Now things appear to be more on track.
That said, the jobs report also has a negative side, which should not be ignored. The unemployment rate fell from 6.6 per cent to 6.3 per cent, but this is largely the result of a big drop in the number of people looking for work: the labor force shrank by 806,000 people.
A falling labor force is usually a sign of a weak economy, not of a strong one. The labor-force-participation rate fell to 62.8 per cent, the lowest since 1978. The employment-to-population ratio - the broadest measure of the health of the labor market - stands at 58.9 per cent, which is also a very low figure by historical standards.
...
The good figures from the payroll survey do not change this picture, and they do not alter the fact that more than a third of the unemployed - about 3.5 million Americans - have been out of work for more than six months. So let's celebrate the good news but not get carried away.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY SUSPENDS CLASSES AFTER THREAT
AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn University canceled classes for Wednesday after what school officials are calling an unsubstantiated threat on campus.
A message posted on the Alabama University's website said that while authorities did not believe the threat was credible, the university was suspending classes and other normal operations for a day beca use of anxiety among students and parents. The authorities said they were also increasing the police presence around campus.
The university said information was being circulated about a threatening message posted in a campus restroom.
Posts circulating on social media show what appears to be handwritten threat of a campus "rampage of biblical proportion" on Wednesday. A university alert went out after the posts began spreading. According to reports in the local media, the statement was found on a wall in an unidentified building.

FOR $45 PER MONTH, ALL THE COFFEE VOU CAN DRINK
New York caffeine junkies, look alive: A new app called CUPS allows subscribers to pay $45 per month for unlimited coffee from almost 40 independent coffee shops around the city.
Designed by a small team from Israel, the app is intended as an alternative to the smartphone loyalty cards offered by the likes of Starbucks (SBUX). "lt's a similar service," says Gilad Rotem, a co-founder of the startup, which is also called CUPS. "We're offering a mobile app, prepaid plan, but it's for independent, higher-quality coffee."
New Yorkers will pay $45 a month for brewed, drip, pour-over, or filtered coffee (or tea). Latte drinkers will pay more: The unlimited espresso subscription costs $85 a month.
Rotem says the prices are equivalent to about 22 cups, or roughly one java beverage per workday per month. On average, Americans consume 1.7 cups of coffee a day, according to Studylogic, which means a CUPS subscription may not be a bad deal. For coffee drinkers with a lower caffeine tolerance, CUPS also offers prepaid package deals for 5, 10, or 20 drinks per month.
