And main street. The u. S. Economy added just 142,000 jobs in september, fewer than forecast. The Unemployment Rate held steady at 5. 1 . And it wasnt just the september number. Results for prior months were revised lower, suggesting a down shift in job creation that began this summer. Hampton pearson has more on this disappointing labor report. Reporter american employers sharply cut back hiring in september, and the government revised job growth downward by 59,000 for july and august. Meanwhile, job growth for the last three months is averaging just under 167,000 compared to just under 200,000 per month for all of 2015, much to the surprise of the leading wall street economists. If you get the jobs report like this, then people are starting to think, geez, you know, this could actually be a negative quarter. Its hard to see anything good in those numbers. The economy i think is clearly weaker than any of us would like it to be or thought it would be. Reporter headline unemployment remains at 5. 1 , but thats because Many Americans stopped looking for work and are not counted as unemployed. President obama says economic weakness overseas is weighing on american job growth. Although the American Economy has been chugging along at a steady pace, much of the Global Economy is softening. Weve seen an impact on our exports, which was a major driver of growth for us, particularly at the beginning of the recovery. Reporter reduced u. S. Exports triggered significant manufacturing job losses last month. Oil drillers continued to lose workers due to sharply Lower Oil Prices. Earlier this week employers announced plans for nearly 60,000 layoffs in september. At the same time job openings are at an alltime high, 5. 8 million. September may be a reminder, its still an employers job market and for the moment some are on hold. So job openings look very good but as it turns out the number of hires that employers are actually engaging in doesnt quite match that. So its one of these sort of Risk Management things the Companies Really seem to be doing these days, is seeing a job thats open and then questioning whether they want to follow through with a hire. Reporter those with jobs worked fewer hours last month, and average wages are up just over 2 for the last 12 months. But americans are spending more, boosting job growth at the mall and at bars and restaurants. For nightly Business Report im Hampton Pearson in washington. That weak jobs report may well change the timing of a possible Interest Rate hike by the Federal Reserve, which many thought would happen sometime later this year. Steve liesman tells us why that is now in question. Reporter its the second straight jobs report under 200,000 and the first time thats happened since the spring. Wall street commentary seems to suggest is this number takes an october rate hike from the Federal Reserve off the table and even raises questions about whether the fed will hike at all this year. Goldman sachs says we now see a fed rate hike in december az close call. Jpmorgan says theyre sticking with december but with less conviction. Over at Action Economics they say their best guess is january. Some reiterated calls for a rate hike further into 2016. Some of the words used, awful, lousy and terrible, must jft adjectives describing the jobs report today. At least the ones we can use on family television. The fed said the labor market was continuing to improve. The question is whether one bad report will change that outlook overall. St. Louis fed president jim bullard said the fed should concentrate on cumulative economic progress and not one report. The good news is that markets wont have to fret over rate hikes for the upcoming october meeting if wall street is right about this. The next fed worry moment now becomes november 6. Thats when the next jobs report comes and well see if the current weakness does a threepeat. For nightly Business Report im Steve Liesman. And now to our two guests for their analysis of the jobs report. Weve brought back moodys analytics chief economist mark zandi. He was with us last night. Whos very xwrup beat about the jobs picture. And lindsay piegsas is with us. Chief economist at stiffll fixed income and is a bit more bearish on her views on the labor market. Welcome to you both. Its a plashz to have you here. Mark, ill start with you because last night you were looking for 200,000 plus and very upbeat on the jobs market but not only did we miss on that number but we had downward revisions in previous reports. Does that change your opinion of the market . No. I do think the damage from the weak Global Economy, stronger dollar, Lower Oil Prices and just the volatility is doing more damage to the labor market than i anticipated but i view all those things as more or less temporary and as we make our way to the end of the year into next i think the underlying growth rate in jobs will reappear around 200 k. Thats abstracting from the vagaries of the data thats roughly where they are. So my views have not changed as a result of this. Im disappointed but i dont think this changes the picture. Lindsay, respond there to mr. Zandi. Do you see it that way or do you fear this could be the start of something not so good . Well, it was certainly a disappointing report but i would actually argue this has been a declining trend in the rate of hiring for quite some time. Remember last year we were hiring ate pace well over 300,000. That slowed to 250 and now with this report coupled with the downward revision to the previous month were now talking about an average of 167,000 you what does that mean for Economic Growth and where you see it in this Third Quarter well, the Third Quarter that just ended and in the fourth . Well, a slowdown in hiring typically translates into a slowdown in economic activity. So for the second half of the year were looking for about 1 1 2 to 2 gdp. Still positive but certainly not the 3 , 4 gdp you would expect from an economy after six years of zero Interest Rate policy. You know, mark, we just ran that piece by Steve Liesman saying that now there are some who are questioning wrt downward revisions in previous months whether or not the fed will actually move this year. Lindsays been on the record for several years now saying theyre not going to move till 2016. Does it change your opinion . No. I think december is still the most likely, though into 2016 is certainly plausible. I do think a necessary condition for them to raise rates is for my forecast of 200,000 jobs per month to be accurate and true and that shines through by december. It also is prez kated on the expectation that the volatility in Financial Markets abates and we have more stable conditions. So things have to come together. I think they will. So i think the most likely scenario is december. But i dont think id argue too strongly if it were january or sometime early in 2016. Lindsay, soggy job numbers for september, downward revisions for august and july. The pace is clearly slowing but what happens in october, november, december as so Many Companies add seasonal workers, whether its ups or walmart or target . Does that in and of itself help hiring . Well, remember, we account for that with seasonal adjustments. So thats not going to play a major role here. And actually if you want to look at the pace of Seasonal Hiring over the past several years its now being spread out into the Third Quarter as well. So actually, those seasonal adjustments may serve to undermine some of the more positive growth that we would see in the final quarter of the year. When you look at the global environme environment, how healthy do you think it is . Weve been a shining star of the Global Environment but we also do not live in isolation anymore as an economy. Exactly. So when you look globally, how do things look to you . Well, the fed has been watching the international environment, and that has added another layer of concern, of potential contagion from the slowdown abroad. Theyre concerned about international volatility in equity markets. Theyre concerned about declining demand in commodity prices, essentially allowing us to import deflation, and of course a rapidly rising u. S. Dollar makes u. S. Made goods relatively more expensive putting downward pressure on manufacturing and Jobs Creation here at home. So when we take a step back and we look at that very disappointing outlook, that sluggish activity level on the international plane, thats going to have compounding negative impacts here in the u. S. All right. Thank you both very much. Have a great weekend, Lindsey Piegza and mark zandi with moodys analytics. Biggest upward reversal for stocks in four years. Equities plunged at the open along with bond yields on that weak jobs report, only to change court and end the day higher. Much higher. The Dow Jones Industrial average up 200 points after being down as many as 258. Thats a 450pluspoint move. The nasdaq rose 80. The s p 500 tacked on 27. Todays rally helped the three major indexes finish higher for the weak, as you see right there. Part of the reason for the stock market reversal was a rise in domestic crude prices, which today settled up nearly 2 . Anthe yield on the tenyear note fell below 2 , tumbling as low as 1. 9 this morning. Later in the program our market monitor will help you figure out how to invest in this market, and hell offer three picks. And with the job report coming in weak, many are looking to the transport sector for clues about the health of the economy. Because when the economy does well, people and businesses tend to ship more things. And when it doesnt the industry slows. Morgan brennan takes a look at the message this sector is sending. Reporter a disappointing jobs report from the Labor Department may be confirming what the transportation sector has been indicating for some time. U. S. Economic growth is showing signs of slowing down. Transports have been long considered a gauge of economic health. Since so many goods for so Many Industries must come in contact with a train, ship, or truck. Analysts say the sector has been telling a tough story all year. It was certainly the first industrialled recovery weve had since 1961 in this economy from 09 through 14. But today were seeing what appears to be the first industrialled recession in a long time. The prolonged downturn in the commodity complex has been weighing on stocks exposed to crude oil and other materials. Rain car loadings for u. N. Pacific, norfolk southern, csx, kansas city and Berkshire Hathaways dnsf continue to disappoint thanks to coal, Petroleum Products and metal. Last week commodity carloads were down 6 , marking the 29th straight week of declines. The commodity collapse and its effects on the industrial economy have also weighed on the less than truckload fleets that truck goods for multiple customers with one vehicle. Ltl carriers deliver many industrial goods and raw materials. One reason fedex, which has a large ltl business, recently trimmed its earnings forecast. But another more worrisome trend may be emerging. Data for trucking fleets that largely haul goods for consumers are starting to disappoint, suggesting that the part of the economy that has been holding up, the consumer economy, may be beginning to wane. From the beginning of the year we were also looking for the consumer to take that reduced cost of the commute, reduced cost of heating and cooling their house, and spend that money elsewhere. We so far just have not seen that. Its been worrisome, troublesome, and as truck tonnage is continuing to tell us, the consumers just not spending. Reporter one area thats remained a bright spot is inbound container floats, or wares coming into the country through the ports. Much of it in anticipation of the holidays. But as other transport data weakens and as the labor market shows signs of cooling, the question now, will the peak Holiday Season be as strong as everyone has been hoping . For nightly Business Report im morgan brennan. Still ahead, the winds of change. One industry where demand for workers is on the rise. Running counter to todays dismal jobs report. Retail Brokerage Firm scottrade suffered a data breach. The discount broker says it believes its systems were attacked between late 2013 and early 2014. The hackers targeted client names and addresses. Scottrade says it is notifying 4. 6 million customers and offering them Identity Protection services. Employers may have added only 142,000 jobs last month, but there are some industries where jobs are on the rise no, matter which way the economic winds blow. Mary thompson reports on the need for wind turbine workers from sweetwater, texas in our latest installment of where the jobs are. Reporter sweetwater made its name as a railroad hub but its banking on a future in wind. The more than 1,300 turbines dotting its skies mean plenty of work for turbine servicers like shermco industries. If can find the workers. We have the jobs, but we cant find the people. Reporter the bureau of labor statistics says jobs for wind technicians should grow an aboveaverage 24 by 2022. Driving the increase, a rise in the number of turbines being installed as a cost of windgenerated electricity has dropped in half over the last five years.

He works with the industry to ensure the twoyear program produces workers with the right skills. Theyre looking for guys that can read skeemt chematics, mech and electrical skills. Those skills needed for years to come. Windgenerated electricity acts for just under 5 of the u. S. Total now, but is seen more than doubling to 10 by 2020. Its a young industry and its something thats going to grow exponentially over the next 10 or 15 years. Reporter 33yearold harold pergo left pennsylvania for texas and a career in retailing so he could study to be a wind tech. Along with plenty of work, being a wind tech pays well too, especially in markets like texas, where shermcos ceo ron woodup says competition for talent is stiff. Youre coming in as entrylevel job probably 40,000, 45,000 a year. Then theres an overtime element. So you can very quickly get up to 60,000 or 80,000 a year. And then in a few years its not uncommon to get to a six figures pretty quickly in this field. The steadiness of the work and pay a Welcome Change for 34yearold jeremy brackenridge.

And now to our market monitor, who doesnt believe the market is out of the woods just yet. So hes being so he says selective and cautious with his buying. Hes jeff sott, chief investment strategist at raymond james. Last time he was on he recommended dexcom up 128 and Johnson Johnson, which is down 5 . Welcome. I didnt know it was that long. Do you still like both of those companies, dexcom and j j . I do. I think that for conservative folks Johnson Johnson has a favorable rating from our analysts and it has a night portfolio of businesses. And dexcom makes the best wireless Glucose Monitoring system on the planet. Lets get to some of your picks. I hope im pronouncing this right. Stonemoore partners lp. Yeah. Bottoms tend to be a process not an event. We had an event last fall on october 15th where you had a vshaped bottom. But most of the time you come down into a capitulation low and then it takes six to eight weeks to form a bottom. So were not sure the bottom has been made but if we are making a bottom im going to be conservative with the yield name stonemoore is like a desk stock. Cemeteries. Decent yield to it. Strong buy rating on it. Lets move on to Genesis Energy lp. Tell me what they do and why you like them. They are a midstream Master Limited partnership. So theyre basically a toll taker. They dont have great Price Sensitivity to crude oil. The crude oils got to go through the pipes. Its got to be stored somewhere. Grant sims is the ceo. Hes arguably the best ceo in the space. We think theyre going to continue to increase their distribution and our analysts like that one as well. And flaherty cromein preferred securities. Don cromein is as bah arguably the best Portfolio Manager on the planet. He ran for Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett in the preferred space. Two closed end funds that are trading at a discount to their net asset values with really decent yields. Lets turn back to the market more broadly after todays jobs report. Are you optimistic the market could end the year higher even though in this most immediate term you describe yourself as selective and cautious . What do you think . Well, our models turned cautious in the first part of july. We said the markets are going into a period of contraction. I didnt think it would be this deep. I do think weve made a capitulation low on the 24th and 25th of august. So if i had to bet i would bet stocks are higher by year end rather than lower. And what does the fed do and when . You know, i think that when it does it is not important. I think its the trajectory and the pace of rate increases. My model has always called for a november inkracrease even thoug theres no fomc meeting. Thats certainly an out of consensus call. It sure is. Well have to have you back in november, jeff. We dont want it to be this long again. Thanks for joining us. Jeff sott with raymond james. Coming up, pens, papers and paper clips. Meet the entrepreneur whos make back to school cool and giving back in the process. This months bright idea is next. Here is what to watch next week. On thursday the federal open Market Committee will publish the minutes of its september policy meeting, and wall street will be watching. On the data front a report on international trade, consumer credit, among others, and alcoa will report its earnings, marking the unofficial start to the earnings season. And that is what to watch next week. All right. We talk about it every year. Parents can spend 200 or more per child on School Supplies. Those who can afford supplies, that is. Teachers also spend money out of their own pockets. 500 on average. Thats why one company got the bright idea to help families get some newer, funkier School Supplies into the hands of Young Students who need them. Good morning, everybody good morning reporter at the Camino Nuevo Charter academy in a part of los angeles where the Median Income is less than 28,000 a year, ito lesslers School Supplies are a welcome gift. Leffler got the idea to help after shopping with his own kids back in 2013. They basically ignored the School Supplies aisle. If im not excited about whats in the aisle and my kids arent excited about whats in the aisle, thats lowhanging fruit. So we decided to funk it up a little bit. Reporter his company, youby, didnt invent finders and pencil cases. It redesigned them. Bright colors, tactile textures, jumbos and minis. The products are fun. But youby is serious about its mission. For every item it selds it donates one. For a while leffler could have used that kind of help when he was growing up in australia. I know what its like for my mother as a schoolteacher to pull money out of her own pocket to buy supplies. Reporter his dads real estate business had failed back in the 1990s. Things are just fine now, and leffler has started several companies. His yes 2 is a hit in the allnatural Beauty Products space, which helped get him a meeting with a contact at tar t target. I said to her would you like to turn around and see the product . And she looked me straight in the say and say i dont have to. Were going to impact millions of kids. Lets do this. And boom. Boom is right. Yoobi launched in june 2014 and did 20 million in sales in a year. Its donations have impacted more than a million students. Still, some wonder how effective the buy one give one model can be. One of the big criticisms of the model is that it doesnt address the root causes of the social issue. Reporter Cornell UniversitysChris Marques has written about how Companies Like toms shoes and warby parker with its eyewear have addressed symptoms without actually solving any problems. Raising awareness is a plus, but to be successful the cause has to resonate with consumers and the price point has to make sense for the company. Theres a lot of research that shows that younger consumers actually want to give back, they want to have some sort of social impact, so i think actually this market will continue to grow. The first thing we need to do is make her a yoobi reporter yoobi also helps teachers like camino nuevos maria cortez, who spends a lot of her own money on her students. Over 1,000 a year. For them what it means is they are valued. Right . Like our classroom is valued, our school is valued, their work is valued. And i tell them they are the leaders of the future. And yoobi is really supporting that for our children. Reporter after all, its keachers like cortez and ido lefflers mom who can inspire students to put themselves into the equation when it comes to solving the products of the future. It doesnt matter what widget youre selling. If youve got a cause that everybody is fully committed to, then youre able to do things that really translate to magic. Yoobi even caught the nairn attention of the entertainer usher who chipped in and helped design a new line this year and also participated in one of yoobis giveaway events at a Different School in los angeles back in may. More and more companies and more and more customers want their purchase to be linked to a purpose. To a purpose. Absolutely. Well, good for him. Because you know, the start of the new school year should be one thats positive for kids i think. That helps. That does it for nightly Business Report for tonight. Im sue herera.
