Small businesses show caution in US hiring, pointing to potential slowdown

Reported 6 months ago

Small businesses in the US, like Worxbee in South Carolina, have become cautious in hiring after experiencing overstaffing during the pandemic, opting for efficiency and cost reduction strategies instead. This trend, reflected in broader statistics, suggests a potential gradual softening of the job market, which could impact President Joe Biden's economic management as the US heads towards the November election. Data indicates that small-firm hiring intentions are at a low, signaling a possible drop in private job growth in the coming months, while other indicators like declining temp job usage and job turnover rates also suggest economic slowing. The Federal Reserve may need hiring to slow down for inflation to stabilize, a key consideration as they meet next week to assess interest rates and economic projections.

Biden's Emissions Rules Favor Hybrid Trucks and SUVs

Reported 6 months ago

The Biden administration's new U.S. auto-emissions regulations have been criticized for going soft on hybrid vehicles, allowing for a slower transition to electric vehicles. The regulations include concessions for automakers to produce more gas-electric hybrids instead of focusing on electric vehicles. The EPA's relaxed rules are projected to result in significantly more pollution than originally anticipated, as they delay stricter emissions limits and utilize an outdated formula that underestimates the real-world pollution from plug-in hybrids. Automakers like Stellantis, GM, and Ford are expected to benefit from the favorable treatment of hybrids, but environmental advocates express concerns about potential increases in emissions. The regulations also face speculation on whether the toughest restrictions, slated for after 2030, will be maintained in future administrations.

While the stock market continues to soar and lower rates may provide relief in various sectors, the pressure for a soft landing remains on the Fed amid expectations and uncertainties.
