The Biggest Shock From This Friday's Payroll Report (Sorry Men)


Tyler, you missed the WHY, that is so unlike you. Even the "Fight club kids" missed it. I'm shocked lol.
The WHY, is because the traditional male job in manufacturing has been outsourced, and what wasn't outsourced was replaced by the technically use of robotics. Which happens to be a very trending thing and will soon be used to replace those in the Health care profession.
Women tend to work in "Service provided" areas. Cashiers,grocery clerks, waitress etc..., There isn't much left out there these days, proven by the segmenting of the class categorizing that each of those still working males, fall within that 69%. Private, government, and military segmentation would work to color that picture a whole lot more.
It would be interesting to see that very same breakdown concerning women to.
Combined on a Pie chart would even be better


By now much has been written about the joke that was the collapse in the labor force participation rate. Perhaps too much, especially for a topic which as we predicted back in early 2011, would be the primary fudge factor allowing mainstream media headlines to blast America's economic renaissance. Remember: it is all about "confidence." Little, however, has been said about the constituents of this dramatic plunge to a 31 year low, namely the simplest distinction: that between genders. As the chart below shows, when one spreads the labor force by sex, the Friday data is particularly sad for one class of workers: Men. Because as the seasonally adjusted data shows, the labor force participation rate for men just printed at 69.8%. It has never been lower.

The Dow Zero Insurgency

In what can only be compared to as a real life "David and Goliath" story
I proudly present to you,

The Book of Tyler (Zero Hedge)

Published Sep 27, 2009

Last spring, in a far corner of the Internet, an unknown blogger began to piece together a conspiracy theory: The investment bank Goldman Sachs was using sophisticated, high-speed computers to siphon hundreds of millions of dollars in illegitimate trading profits from the New York Stock Exchange, invisibly undercutting the market and sidestepping the regulatory reach of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Only a few loyal readers paid attention to the blog called Zero Hedge, a no-frills site full of arcane analysis decipherable only by finance professionals. But when a former Goldman Sachs computer programmer was arrested for allegedly stealing software codes used for the firm’s electronic trading arm, and a federal prosecutor was quoted saying the codes could be used to “manipulate markets in unfair ways,” the once-obscure blog ignited a chain reaction. While on a golf outing, an editor at the New York Times learned from a friend who worked on Wall Street that the Zero Hedge allegation was the talk of the industry, and an assignment ensued. On July 24, the Times published a front-page article on so-called high-frequency trading and its potential abuses, which in turn prompted Chuck Schumer, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, to draft a letter to the SEC that same day. Twelve days later, the SEC signaled that it was considering a ban on the very computerized trading that Zero Hedge had attacked.

Suddenly, the shadowy figure behind Zero Hedge was a full-blown cult hero—a blogger with a bullet. His readership of
