Collapse in informal job creation points to weaker U.S. labor market, Bob Elliott argues — Informal sector job creation collapses

Bob Elliott, co-founder and CIO at Unlimited, highlights the collapse in informal sector job creation in the U.S. labor market.

Elliott has previously commented on market trends across industries. In April, he attributed a rise in new orders to Boeing but noted that backlog expansion may delay production increases. He also cited reduced central bank gold buying as a factor behind recent softness in the gold market.
