Dr. Sequestration will cost 2.14 million jobs, study says - Defense. Virginia to lose 207,464 jobs with federal cuts - Washington Business Journal. Virginia stands to lose 207,464 jobs and $10.63 billion in labor income by the end of fiscal 2013 if $1.2 trillion in federal cuts take place in January as planned, according to a report released Tuesday. Virginia would suffer the biggest job loss next to California, according to a report conducted by George Mason University economist Stephen Fuller and commissioned by the Aerospace Industries Association. The report measures the impact of both defense and nondefense employment reductions at federal agencies and their contractors, as well as at businesses that count them as customers.
Most of Virginia’s lost jobs in the next fiscal year – 136,191— would result from Department of Defense cuts, and the rest would stem from reductions at civilian agencies. During that period, Virginia would also see gross state product losses of $20.87 billion. D.C. is projected to lose 127,407 jobs – behind only California, Virginia and Texas. Maryland would see the fifth-highest loss: 114,795 jobs. Where did the jobs go? - Washington Business Journal. During the first three months of 2011, glowing economic reports showed that more jobs were created in the region than in any quarter since 2006. But since then, the economic skies have darkened around Washington. The region had 7,900 fewer jobs in July than it did a year earlier. For the second consecutive month, businesses, governments and nonprofits in the area laid off more than they hired, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Economists aren’t suggesting that the economy is entering a dreaded double-dip recession, but they acknowledge the region is in a bit of a funk. The slowdown “should shock no one when a region’s leading sector — the federal government — is undergoing severe stress,” said economist Anirban Basu, CEO of the Sage Policy Group Inc. in Baltimore. How the Stock Market and Economy Really Work - Kel Kelly.
"A growing economy consists of prices falling, not rising. " The stock market does not work the way most people think. A commonly held belief — on Main Street as well as on Wall Street — is that a stock-market boom is the reflection of a progressing economy: as the economy improves, companies make more money, and their stock value rises in accordance with the increase in their intrinsic value. A major assumption underlying this belief is that consumer confidence and consequent consumer spending are drivers of economic growth. A stock-market bust, on the other hand, is held to result from a drop in consumer and business confidence and spending — due to inflation, rising oil prices, high interest rates, etc., or for no reason at all — that leads to declining business profits and rising unemployment.
