CHART OF THE DAY: US Non-Farm Payrolls Are In the #Process of Peaking - z 06.08.15 chart

...As you can see in today’s Chart of The Day (it’s actually a rock solid table of historical labor cycle data), these are the facts about US labor metrics. I’d like you to zero in on the number of NFP months (+/-) vs. economic cycle peaks:

 

  1. DEC 1969 (economic cycle peak) = +4.9 months (# of months after DEC 69’ when NFP peaked)
  2. NOV 1973 =  +5.9 months
  3. JAN 1980 = +3.9 months
  4. JUL 1981 = +2.0 months
  5. JUL 1990 = +1.0 months
  6. MAR 2001 = +1.0 months
  7. DEC 2007 = +3.0 months

 

...unless it’s “different this time”, US non-farm payrolls are in the #process of peaking. And I’m not a big fan of capitulating at peaks.
