They say it is dry here because it hasn't rained for a while. Guess they are right. A steam engine went past and half the village is on fire.

Man sagt, es sei sehr trocken, es hat lange nicht mehr geregnet. Stimmt wohl. Eine Dampflok fuhr verbei und hat das halbe Dorf in Brand gesetzt.

For weeks, #Trump has repeatedly boasted that his admin had managed to bring #EggPrices down. But new data on Thurs showed that egg #prices at the #grocery store continued to climb in March.

Egg prices rose 5.9% over the month, acc/to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics [#BLS]. They climbed at a slower rate, though, after rising 10.4% in February & 15.2% in January.

Compared with a year earlier, the price of #eggs is up 60.4%.

The tick up in the #unemployment rate underscores the difficult hiring landscape facing recently laid off #FederalWorkers.

The average work week remained at 34.1 hours, matching the low from March of 2020 during the #pandemic. That’s an indication that #labor demand is weaker than the headline payroll jobs number suggests.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics ( #BLS ) is also planning to change a source for some of its data.

“The official measure will switch the data source for prices from the International Price Survey to U.S. government administrative records for approximately 43 percent of the value of merchandise goods trade.”

And it’s only the beginning of the #Trump #economy . . .

US #inflation rose to 3% in Jan, strengthening the case for the #FederalReserve to extend a pause on interest rate cuts.

The #Consumer Price Index #CPI unexpectedly ticked higher from a year earlier, data from the Bureau of #Labor Statistics #BLS showed on Wednesday, up from 2.9% in Dec. Compared to Dec, consumer prices rose 0.5%, faster than economists had expected.
