1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Single, best Idea.

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: What a week.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: The highlight was the last thing we did. We went

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: to New Orleans and Vanessa Perdomo, on site for Bloomberg

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: in Radio Row, interviewed Joe Montana. She's like lights out,

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: it's her sixth super Bowl. I looked around our studios

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: and I said, let's count super bowls. Sweeneyo went to

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: one a million years ago. I brought up Max McGhee

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: and super Bowl one. Thank you, Vanessa Perdomo for joining

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: us at your sixth super Bowl in New Orleans. We

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: had a super Bowl today. We do it twelve times

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: a year. Job's day. What a set of guests, Claudia

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: Sam thank you so much for spear heading all of

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: our coverage. But right for the beginning with Jim Bianco

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: and Priam Misra, just a wonderful, wonderful set of conversations

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: onikon finance, investment, in a little bit of international relations.

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: Today Allen Zenner joined us and we talked to Ellen

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Zenner about this labor economy, but something new, the stock

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: market up, the wealth effect.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: We have created a tremendous amount of wealth and so

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: one are we spending the same amount out of that

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: wealth that we normally do. It's just wealth. Is that high?

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: That is one possibility? Or is the still some lingering

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: effects of COVID which taught us we're all going to

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: die tomorrow and so spend it if you got it?

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: Interesting?

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: So is it that the marginal propensit to consume? That's

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: a great economist term, tom You like that marginal propense

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: to consume out of wealth may just be higher. And

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: so does that fade the further we get away from

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: COVID further it's in the rear view mirror or does

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: it just stay that high because now we've had some

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: structural shift.

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: We've seen research on this. I mean, you're in a

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: casperg seat to see research.

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Over we have done this research.

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Do you see to me it's an unspoken huge deal.

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? So what I see, what I believe I see

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: in the numbers is that it's just the amount of

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: wealth that has been created has just been that large.

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: I think that we're seeing, we're in the midst of

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: seeing the data is quite lagged on this, that the

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: marginal propensity to consume out of wealth is returning back

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: to normal but that the wealth we've created is just

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: that high.

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: That was brilliant cardinal rule. When there's an algebraic function

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: and one of the coefficients has three letters MPC, just

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: move on to the next page. That's my rule on

51
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: economic algebra. That was brilliant Ellen Zenner there on the

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: marginal propensity to consume and the idea of the wealth effect.

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a huge story

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: into twenty twenty five if this bull market continues. We've

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: talked to Anna Wong. Without question the leading market economists

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: around the world, huge influence on job labor economics, if

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: you will. An along of Bloomberg Economics today and the

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: key revision statistics.

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I was quite surprised that the by how small

60
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: they are. So in the benchmark period that covers April

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three to March of twenty twenty four, we

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: only saw five hundred and eighty nine thousand downward revision.

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: We had expected closer to seven hundred thousand, and I

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: think part of it is because I think that BLS

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: still has not entirely updated the birth and death projection.

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: So in the second half of twenty twenty four, we

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: had expected about two hundred thousandward revisions, but instead of

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: a total downward revision, we actually see a cumulative positive revision,

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: all of which almost came from December of last year.

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: So I think my bottom line is that number one

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: BLS has not come played the updates on lowering the

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: birth and death productions. And second, there is a real

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: improvement towards the end of last year, particularly in December,

74
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: in terms of job growth. And I think it's possible

75
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: that the labor market is in a mist of stabilizing right.

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: Now and one of Bloomberg economics, and once again the

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: market looks forward and tries to anticipate with the market's

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: wonderful bid and ask sensibility, and maybe a constructive January

79
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: had something to do with that healing labor market that

80
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: doctor Wang talked about chiefs or eagles. I don't really

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: have a strong opinion. I mean, I think everyone knows.

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: I'm not expert in any way, shape or form. But

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: we thank Vanessa down in New Orleans for help today

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880
