Économie américaine: création d'emplois et salaires à la hausse

Nos voisins du sud reprendront peut-être un peu plus confiance dans leur économie. La relance semble se maintenir et même les salaires progressent légèrement. Dira-t-on encore que tout cela se fait "malgré" Obama?  Allez voir le graphique à la fin de l'article.  S'il n'a pas aidé, on peut affirmer qu'il n'a pas été nuisible.

 "The monthly jobs data can be volatile, particularly in January, when government economists try to calculate seasonally adjusted hiring growth amid the layoffs of holiday workers. U.S. stocks were up and the dollar strengthened Friday morning on the jobs news, which slightly exceeded market expectations.

Perhaps the best sign in the jobs report wasn't the net payroll gain — the figure has topped 200,000 for 11 months in a row — but rather the nascent sign of rising salaries. The average hourly worker saw a 12-cent-per-hour raise in January, the best one-month increase since 2007. Since the Great Recession, real wages have remained stagnant, but this is slowly beginning to change. Over the last year, wages have risen 2.2 percent. Meantime, consumer prices are seeing inflation below 1 percent, largely because cheaper oil has caused gasoline prices to plummet."
