Economic News in Review Greenville SCHere is last week’s Economic News in Review Greenville SC. Unemployment hit a seven-year low, but wages remained flat. Meanwhile, lay-offs saw a short-term increase, and construction spending enjoyed solid growth.  Unemployment  Unemployment fell to a seven-year low, with the economy adding 223,000 in June, and the unemployment rate dropping to 5.3 percent from May’s 5.5 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week.  However, while the unemployment dropped, it wasn’t necessarily for the best reasons. The U.S. labor force declined by 432,000 people in June. This caused the labor force participation rate to drop by 0.3 percent to 62.6 percent in June.  Moreover, wages were flat in June, with average hourly earnings hovering at $24.95. Ave...

When I think of viral videos 'Keyboard Cat' is the first that comes to mind. The adorable ear bug is now 8 years old and has been viewed 40,488,472 times.  Have you ever thought about how many times that singular video has been emailed, texted, shared, facebooked, tweeted, pinned? And that every person who has ever shared it is linked to that video...forever. It's innocent enough; I doubt anyone will loose their promotion over a keyboard playing cat, but the danger of sharing is now a reality. Everyday you are leaving a social media footprint. Every tweet, every Facebook share, every blog on activerain, every comment, or email is blasted through the fibers of the world wide web and can be retrieved at any time: great for police scouring through emails to convict a criminal, bad for the ...

Also, personal incomes grew while spending was essentially flat. Unemployment The unemployment rate, a closely watched metric since the 2008 recession sent the job market to the canvas, actually ticked slightly up in May after months of successive declines. The unemployment notched up to 5.5 percent in May from April’s 5.4 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week. However, the economy concurrently added 280,000 non-farm jobs, which was significantly higher than the 226,000 jobs that job market analysts had been expecting. Also, t...
