June Employment Analysis-Still "Less Bad"
The underlying story remains a picture that is becoming "Less Bad" over time. This is ultimately a precondition for stabilization. How Much Less Bad? Perhaps a good way of looking at these data is taking the average May/June payroll readings and comparing this average decline of 395,000, with the average 645,000 monthly decline over the prior 6 months.

UK GDP Saw Record Fall - But Is Today The Last Day Of The Recession?
UK Q1 GDP saw the largest quarterly decline since Michael Jackson's birth in 1958. The decline in GDP appears to have been amplified as companies have run down stocks at record levels. However, destocking appears to be slowing while forward looking indicators appear significantly stronger. Indeed, growth looks increasingly likely to turn positive from Q3. Given we have come to the last day of Q2, today could then also technically mark the last day of the recession.
