9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,159

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve, for the chairwoman, I should say,

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Janet Yellen, is not in a bigger hurry to raise

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: the key rate PIM. It might have something to do

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: with the fact that the underemployment rate is nearly ten

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: percent in this country. We're going to hear about the

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,519

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: among other topics. We are interested in M and A,

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: but at the right price in complementary areas. So, for example,

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: what has worked well for us is the opposition of

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: three par three Calm and Aruba, great complementary technologies that

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: we can put through our distribution system. And by the way,

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: they weren't overly expensive. We fad We paid a very

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: fair price for those companies but it wasn't at sixty

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: seventy eight times multiple. She spoke to us from HPEES

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: at other news from around the world. On Bloomberg Radio.

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: Thank you, Charlie from the Bloomberg News Room. I'm Sherry On.

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton has claimed victory in the race for the

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Democratic presidential nomination, becoming the first woman to run as

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: a candidate of a major US party. She won four

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: of the sixt eights holding primary door concusses yesterday, including California.

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,440

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: many GEOP leaders are struggling to rally behind him. Main

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Susan Collins says she would like to endorse Trump,

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: but he needs to stop insulting people. He is the

60
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: one who needs to start acting more presidential and articulate

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: clearly what a Trump presidency would look like. In a

62
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: speech yesterday, Trump took a more unifying path, vowing never

63
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: to let GOP voters down authorities, saying at least five

64
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: people are dead following I hit a run involving cyclists

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Kalamazoo County of Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey Getting says

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: the bike riders probably didn't know what happened. They were

67
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: all north found, they were all on the right shoulder

68
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: of the road. Who pick up. Trump was also morth

Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio were brought casting live from Persians inside

87
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: six conference at the Highatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. The

88
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: topic is the labor market. Unemployment four point seven percent.

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: That is down from the nine and a half percent

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: level when the economy started expanding in June of two

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. Indeed, employers have been adding an average

92
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: of about a hundred and fifty thousand jobs a month

93
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: so far this year, but there are still troubling issues

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: in the job marketing. Here to tell us more. As

95
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Craig Torres, Federal Reserve reporter for Bloomberg News, joining us

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: from Washington. Craig, thanks for being with us the good news. Yes,

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: unemployment four point seven percent and as I noted, hundred

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand jobs on average being created each month.

99
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: But in your most recent article you write that it

100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: has been a brutal journey back to work for millions

101
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: of Americans. Tell us more. I think that is driving

102
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: the sentiment we're seeing play out in the election, which

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: you could use any number of words from anger, bitterness, uh,

104
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: kind of a shattered American dream, kind of feeling. Um.

105
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: It did take people who lost their jobs a long

106
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: time to get back to work, and often they ended

107
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: up in jobs that were lower paying, less benefits, and

108
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: less security. So we went back and talked to some

109
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of the people we interviewed when they were unemployed and

110
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: asked them what was it like back to employment? And

111
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: the stories weren't pretty. So Craig, uh, tell us some

112
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: of the stories. Uh, And it seems a lot of

113
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: us know unfortunately, Um, friends of friends, even you know,

114
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: some family members that are really on tough times, really

115
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: having a hard time finding a job. Give us an

116
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: example and tell us is it is it really different

117
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: from other times coming out of business cycles. Um. So,

118
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: one person we interviewed in our story today was Sally Richards.

119
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: She I think she's a great example. So she's a lawyer,

120
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: ran her own practice in Ohio, had more than a

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: hundred clients, and so she moves to d C kind of,

122
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, for family reasons, personal reasons, figuring she would

123
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: land a job pretty quickly. Um, ended up looking for

124
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: two years. Um, you know, just hearing nothing back from employers. Um,

125
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: building up a debt pile. And I'll tell you, Kathleen,

126
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: when you talk to these people, what's hard to reflect

127
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: in print, It is when you're sitting in front of

128
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: them as a reporter. Um, what's hard to reflect in

129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: print is this sort of anguish you see like someone

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: it's like someone who just went to a fight or

131
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: a cancer battle or something like that. It costs these

132
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: people a lot personally, not only financially, but as I

133
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: say in the story, like from a self esteem standpoint,

134
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: it was very expensive. Craig, if you can describe what

135
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: is the thread that runs through all of these stories

136
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: for you? I think Tim, the threat is, this isn't

137
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: the America that I grew up in. Um, This isn't

138
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the America that I'm used to. This isn't the America

139
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: that UM is, you know, that had the promises that

140
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: if you work hard, that you would get ahead. It's

141
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: it's defeating, and it's it's confusing, and and there often

142
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: aren't answers why nobody's gonna is calling you back, for example,

143
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: And so I find I find that very troubling as

144
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: many people in the electorate obviously, and obviously if the

145
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: people like this easily can slip into losing their homes

146
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: and their apartments, and the homelessness is a growing problem

147
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: even for people like this, so kind of fall through

148
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: the cracks. Um in some sense, then is Janet on

149
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: what we would call debbishness. She's a labor market economists.

150
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Her her sense of, oh, yes, the economy is doing better.

151
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: But then she says right after that, of course there's

152
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: still a lot of slack. Is that is she's you know,

153
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: really in connecting into this ethos as well, do you think, Craig,

154
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the odd things, a little bit odd,

155
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: is this gamble she's making um that if she just

156
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: runs the economy hot enough, good things will happen. It's

157
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: a it's a it's hard to appreciate what a big

158
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: gamble that is because the reason people apply for jobs

159
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: and don't hear back or kind of structural. Give you

160
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: an example, there's this software that almost every employer uses

161
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: called to Leo. So if you apply for a job today,

162
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: chances are probably eight out of ten that you're going

163
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: to be on some to LEO interface. To Leo is

164
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: this impersonal scoring of your resume, of your personal data.

165
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Even though it doesn't ask your age, it figures out

166
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: your age, and the hiring manager just sees basically a

167
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: bunch of statistics, never sees the person, and this allows

168
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: them to flip through dozens and hundreds of applicants in

169
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: a highly in personal way. Can the said really change

170
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: something like that? Maybe? Maybe maybe if you push the

171
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: economy down to like two unemployment, people will be scrambling

172
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: to have, you know, for talent. But I don't think so.

173
