Bureau of labor statistics dept of labor extended mass layoffs q2 2010
Employers initiated 1,851 mass layoff events in the second quarter of 2010 that resulted in the
separation of 338,064 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days, according to preliminary figures released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the year, both events and separations decreased sharply from program high second quarter levels (with data available back to 1995). (See table A.)
Construction Reverses Trend and Posts Gains in June
Total construction spending increased 0.1% in June, well above the Briefing.com consensus that called for a -0.8% decline. While the growth in the headline number may look shocking at first glance, a review of last week's second quarter GDP data suggests that construction expenditures could have potentially risen 0.8% if there were no revisions to data for April and May.
Therefore, the consensus was banking on considerable downward revisions to the data in order for the expenditure numbers to meet expectations. This occurred partially as May's construction numbers were revised down from -0.2% to -1.0%, but not nearly enough to match the thought embedded in the consensus estimate.
All of the data in this release has already been incorporated in the GDP numbers so there was not any new information to be gleaned from the report. Total private construction declined 0.6% as residential and nonresidential construction fell 0.8% and 0.5% respectively. Total public construction increased 1.5% due to 25.2% growth in power construction.
