December 2012 US Employment Report

2013-01-24 09:18:16.813

The US economy continued to chug along at a steady pace in December, adding 155,000 jobs and bringing the total increase in employment for the year to 1.8 million jobs, or roughly 150,000 per month. That’s almost identical to the job growth in 2011. Just as there was little employment impact from Hurricane Sandy in November, there appeared to be very little impact from the Fiscal Cliff debate in December. Revisions to previous months were minor, but positive, with November employment being revised up by 15,000 jobs.

UK Quarterly Marketbeat - November 2012

2012-11-30 06:10:04.0

The UK property investment market remains polarised, with occupiers, investors and financiers still selective and wary of a number of global macroeconomic issues, including slowing growth in China, impending fiscal retrenchment in the US and continued uncertainty in Europe. The third quarter of 2012 did see some improvement in the political situation in Europe as well as some positive steps being taken towards resolving the debt crisis. Nevertheless, while this gave a much needed boost to confidence levels, it was short lived and doubts remain as to whether this will translate into higher levels of investment activity going forward.
