Worker confidence
This morning I received a regular email about labor separation and the quits rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It didn't contain anything particularly exciting. But the stats are a good barometer for how confident people are about finding a job.
A higher rate means more confidence. The BLS unfortunately does not break the information down by city. But stats from throughout the south show that the quits rate has remained steady since 2001. That is not good news.
