Now the December employment report will come in with a preview we're joined by Bankrate dot com Senior Economic Analyst Happy New Year Marc. Same to you Tom Thanks for having me if the end of 28000 had been an airplane ride to the pilot would have come on and said fasten seat belts a very turbulent skies ahead now we enter into 2019 in the 1st jobs report of the year is that fasten seat belt sign still on. I don't eat a lot of pizza in the airport or take off or I Well yeah I think volatility and uncertainty are here to stay for the forseeable future perhaps for the broader society but also for the economy and financial markets and that gets to the jobs report which in many ways has served as a remarkable positive counterpoint to all the negatives that have to do with policy on certain days interest rates China trade everything quote unquote that's happening in Washington d.c. Et cetera and the financial markets obviously but in terms of this upcoming report that we get in the morning I think that it should show that the job market continues to be hanging in there and that will keep the unemployment rate well below 4 percent and we'll see a steady pace of hiring for the month of December longer term what about the further signs of an economic slowdown given the negative signals we've been getting from financial markets given the trade issues and the Treasury yields and things like that. Absolutely well a slowdown is here the question is how much of a slowdown or how much of a would be downturn if any we see meaning a contraction which gets to the notion of a recession and then the extent of the slowness which extends around the world obviously in the last 24 hours we heard about Apple's problems in China some of which may be macro China some of May be Apple specific though there are other signs of slowing in China and China is responsible for 10 percent of imports so or exports from here so that's all very important and I think that as we look out over the next few months we're going to watch to see whether the Federal Reserve actually pauses on interest rates or whether it has a need to whether this downturn in the stock market. Continues to mushroom or escalate or whether we see more stability it doesn't help that we have everything going on in Washington d.c. That leads to policy uncertainty meaning conflicting signs of. What's going on with us China trade discussions and everything else all right thanks so much for the update Mark we will see what happens tomorrow with that report comes out the 1st of 200-1000 Mark Hamrick bankrate dot com senior economic analyst joining us on the comet is live people are remembering Blake Nordstrom who died yesterday at the age of 58 as a leader who saved the downtown core of Seattle downtown Seattle Association says they just talked to him a few days ago over e-mail but they say his legacy will continue to live on in this company that helps save downtown Seattle the d.s.a.
