The ceo saying the pay tv bundle is still relatively strong and isnt going away. Even as the handle scape changes, disney is well positioned. Look at what position.

The question is wall street whether the shift away from a traditional tv bundle disney is grappling with will have broad impact across the whole media industry.

The Energy Sector was one of the worst performing as crude prices hit a fivemonth low. A new report on the labor market raised questions about whether job market gains can continue to accelerate. The private Pay Roll Company adp estimates that private sector pay rolls grew by 185,000 jobs last month. Thats lower than a month ago. And 30,000 below the wall street forecast. Investors tend to use this report to try to figure out what the governments monthly report will look like when it comes out on friday. In this case also to see, or the gauge what the fed may or may not do in september. An early indicator of the friday jobs report came in weaker than expected. The source of the weakness . The oil patch where jobs have been cut back due to lower crude prices and the export sector hurt by the stronger dollar. Outside of those sectors, job growth looks pretty healthy. Last year we were getting 250,000 on average and thats what it would be this year if it were not for energy and whats going on in the nonvehicle manufacturing. I think fundamentally, were still between 200, 225 k. A separate report the biggest part of the economy, services. It surged past in july and hit the best level since 2005. Early indications are that growth in the Third Quarter may be closer to 3 than the anemic 2 that has been more the rule during the post crisis recovery. A leading policy maker says the better Economic Data makes the fed more likely to hike Interest Rates this year. Most members at the june meeting believed it was time to raise Interest Rates. The that time is clearly coming. When we do that it will be if the economy continues to grow a process of raising rates gradually over time. That will happen. Weve waited and i think been patient and i think thats been the right thing to do. Powell says he is waiting on Critical Data to make up his mine whether to hike in semi later this year or not at all of but a friday jobs number shows growth there at 200,000 could bring it a big closer to the rate hike for next month. The u. S. Trade deficit widened more than expected in june as america buys more than it sells. Solid Consumer Spending pulled in more imports. While the strong dollar tempered exports. The trade jumped 7 to nearly 40 pirs. . Trade has been volatile because of the west coast ports during First Quarter of 2014. All that congestion on the west coast was seen as an opportunity on the east. We have two reports tonight. And morgan is at the port in newark new jersey. We begin with jane wells at the court of los angeles and long beach. Reporter what a difference a contract makes. Business is back here in long beach and los angeles at this that port complex. Here in long beach, volumes were up 8 . Up 14 to the threeyear high. 40 of shipped goods to the u. S. Comes through here. 12 of gdp. Because of last winters horrific slowdown, some business has shifted east. Is it a blip . The port complex is perhaps one of the most valuable assets in the u. S. Reporter l. A. And long beach are back. A bee hive of activity. Unclogging the nations largest container port complex after a horrific slowdown. Is everything back to normal . Absolutely yes. Were well ahead of last year. Reporter perhaps. But the port has seen its reputation sink after dozens of ships were parked offshore for weeks during the standoff between dock workers and shipping companies. Port leaders are working to win back trust. Not a moment too soon. Retailers will shift for the holidays. Were seeing it for a variety of reasons. I think the ports on the west coast need to work on solving some of the issues. Reporter there are still too few truck classies. While the truck tturnarounds are improving. 25 , the trucks get stuck in a port for more than two hours. Reporter theyre rushing to complete the panama canal which will allow big ships to bypass the west coast. When the capital of plasticrgery, Southern California ports are getting a 5 billion facelift. The terminal in l. A. Has robotic cranes moving cargo along magnetic tracks. The Long Beach Container Terminal is being made into a fully automated area which can handle the biggest ships in the world. Still panama canal givers shippers options. 10 of the volume we see would be migrating from the u. S. West coast to the u. S. East coast. We dont believe that. We think it is a nonevent. Really . Yeah. More than half the ships on order in this industry too big to go through the expanded panama canal. We have customers with 21,000 ships on order. These are ultra large. Mega ships and they can only come to this port complex. Reporter the bottom line is the bottom line. It costs twice as much to ship something from shanghai to chicago if you go to the east coast, rather than the west coast. And that is something the west coast ports arepo counting on. Above the ports of los angeles in long beach. The bad news for west coast ports has been good newee for east coast ports. Many retailers are importing more goods through the east coast and shipping lines like merck are and panelling operations along the eastern corridor. In a long term bet, the business is here to stay. Container volume at the major east coast hubs is at the that record levels. Including the port of new york new jersey. The multibillion dollar question, will it stay this way . We think that a certain percentage will stay in new york and new jersey and the east coast. We are in constant touch with shimmers throughout the and u. S. Parts of the world. And there is no question that the issue of reliability has come into their equation. Reporter reliability is key. It takes about a week longer to ship to new york from asia instead of the west coast and can be double the cost. More containers means more congestion. Thats particularly tough for truckers who sometimes wait hours to make a single pickup. Most of the truckers have implemented pier congestion were surcharges to their clients. Unless we really do something dramatic, the congestion will prevail. It is discouraging to try to get more trucks on work. With you ct lure more trucks to go into a congested area. Chassis operators are work oa proposal to share. We have to collaborate more and have a more united system. So what the steam shipment lines are doing, we have to coordinate with the chassis providers, the unions in terms gate that operations. So it is becoming more integrated and that takes a little time and it takes more communication. Reporter officials are hoping to have a sharing plan in place ahead of the panama canal expansion next year. Thats where the focus is now. The panama canal is expected to drive down costs for goods headed to the east coast. The ports have to be able to accommodate the super size vessel. Billion of dollars are being spent to dredge harbors, expand terminals and here in new jersey even lift the bayonne bridge. Theres a lot at stake. They expect this complex to double over the next decade and quadruple by 2040. The competition on both coasts and between individual ports is fierce. And it will all come down to which hub can handle the most the fastest. For nightly Business Report, morgan brennan. Boeing, a top u. S. Exporter may be the first casualties from the shuttering.

Whats the point . Critics say theres no point prox opponents say it is a valuable tool for investors whether to approve or reject a pay package. They anticipate it can be used to help narrow the gap between ceo wages and average workers wages. How . Well expect to see some boycotts of products where the company has a high ceo pay ratio and in certain states like rhode island. Advocates are already arguing that they not do business with company that have a high ratio. Whats the argument against this particular rule . The critics say it is expensive for company to do every year. It is useless. It wont impact pay at all. It. Were it toaler the pay ratio and it is not intellectual honest.
