Slightly lower number of nonfarm jobs and a steady unemployment rate – employers are scared to lay off and hoping for a soft landing

The steady unemployment rate and a slightly lower number of new nonfarm jobs manifest a scare among the employers to layoff workers. It is not easy to find an able helping hand especially those who are accustomed to the work environments, clients, and so on.

The nonfarm payroll data shows the possibility of a soft landing for the economy. The economy can actually accelerate in the second half of the year.

If Federal Reserve stays put in the interest rate one way or the other, the economy can slowly recover. The real estate market actually is not as bad as you see in the media and world of the mouth. The inventory (unsold homes) is staying slightly longer in the market that two or three years ago.

The lumber futures say the real estate will become very robust in the next several months.

The steady unemployment rate at the historic low level is noteworthy. It may point to a softer landing that one would expect. The wild card is the Federal Reserve. They may decide to stay put for the next twelve months and let the market pay it out.

A soft landing is most probable. The stock market and real estate market can go higher. There will be some volatile sessions but at the end, the long-term players will gain enormously.
