WASHINGTON: US employers slashed payrolls by 159,000 in September, the most in more than five years, a worrisome sign that the economy is hurtling toward a deep recession.
The Labour Department’s fresh snapshot, released on Friday, also showed that the nation’s unemployment rate held steady at 6.1 percent as hundreds of thousands of people streamed out of the work force for any number of reasons.
The reduction in payrolls was much sharper than the 100,000 cuts economists were forecasting. They expected the jobless rate to be unchanged.
It marked the ninth straight month that the economy has lost jobs. The drop underscores fallout from a long slump in the housing market and a dangerous credit crunch that intensified last month, throwing Wall Street – and the economy – into chaos.
Wall Street appeared relieved the decline in payrolls wasn’t deeper. Stock futures were strengthening, pointing to a higher opening. The Dow fell 348 points on Thursday amid worries about the broader economy.
Employers cut 73,000 jobs in August, slightly less than the 84,000 initially estimated, according to revised figures. However, the cuts in July turned out to be a bit deeper – 67,000 versus the 60,000 previously reported.
The 159,000 jobs lost in September were the most since March 2003, when the labor market was still struggling to get back on its feet after being knocked down by the 2001 recession.
Job losses in September were widespread. Manufacturers cut 51,000 jobs, construction companies axed 35,000 jobs, retailers got rid of 40,000 positions, business services shed 27,000 and financial services slashed 17,000 positions, with securities and investment firms accounting for 8,000 of those reductions. Leisure and hospitality companies also reduced employment by 17,000. That overwhelmed employment gains by the government, in education, health and elsewhere.
Cost-cutting employers are getting rid of workers as companies chafe under a slew of problems related to the economy’s slowdown, a painful housing collapse and a dangerous credit crunch.
Companies announcing layoffs in September included Hanesbrands Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Schering-Plough Corp., Alaska Airlines and Alcoa Inc.
Friday’s employment snapshot is the last before America goes to the polls in November.
Mounting job losses, shrinking paychecks, shriveling nest eggs and rising foreclosures all have weighed heavily on American voters.
The economy is their No. 1 concern. An Associated Press-GfK poll earlier this week showed that likely voters now back Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama 48 percent to GOP rival John McCain’s 41 percent. They believe Obama is better suited to lead the country through the financial turbulence.
To avert even more economic upheaval, Congress is weighing a $700 billion plan to buy bad assets from banks and other institutions to shore up the financial industry. The legislation is urgently championed by President Bush and his top economic generals.
Spooked consumers and businesses have pulled back so much that some analysts fear the economy could stall out – or even worse – shrink in the July-to-September quarter. Many predict the economy will contract in both the final quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year, meeting the classic definition of a recession. The economy’s last recession was in 2001.
KOLKATA: Ratan Tata on Friday announced that Tata Motors has decided to pull out of Singur, taking into account the well being of company employees.
Tata Motors, the country’s top vehicle maker, had started looking for other locations at which to build the Nano. It has said it hoped to launch the car this month.
The Nano is expected to be priced at just above 100,000 rupees ($2,132), and has been billed as the world’s cheapest.
The company, the third-biggest carmaker in India, had planned to make 250,000 cars at the Singur plant in West Bengal initially, increasing capacity to 350,000 units.
Eventual demand for the Nano was expected to be about 1 million units, Tata has said. Cost overruns caused by delays at Singur, where Tata Motors has invested about $350 million, had already raised the cost of production of the Nano, which was unveiled to a rousing reception in January and sent rivals scrambling for their own plans.
Work at the plant was nearly complete when farmers, backed by Trinamool Congress, stepped up protests, saying they were forced off their land without adequate compensation.

WASHINGTON: Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain worked to cool the partisan heat of the financial crisis, with both calling for Congress to regroup and act quickly to prevent a feared financial collapse and foster confidence in the banking system.
The stock market embraced the new tenor, rocketing upward nearly 500 points on Tuesday, but nearly frozen credit markets – where businesses turn to raise money – showed no sign of a thaw. Not since Franklin D. Roosevelt was voted into the White House in the depths of the 1930s Great Depression have presidential hopefuls found themselves in such uncertain economic times and under so much pressure to assure voters they are best able to prevent a feared financial meltdown. Republican McCain and Democrat Obama both said Tuesday that politicians needed to set aside politics to save the financial system. Together, they backed a call to raise the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. guarantee on bank accounts from a limit of $100,000 to $250,000. FDIC Chairwoman Sheila Bair took up the proposal Tuesday afternoon, asking Congress for authority for an unspecified increase in insurance limits. She said most banks remained sound but contended that increasing the insurance cap would help ease the crisis of confidence. The Dow Jones industrial average shot up 485 points, reclaiming nearly two-thirds of its staggering 778-point nosedive a day earlier. The country’s already reeling financial sector showed signs of coming unglued Monday when the House, contrary to expectations, rejected a $700 billion Bush administration rescue plan. President Bush had sent the measure to Capitol Hill 11 days earlier, declaring fast action essential. After a raucous session in which Republican and Democratic lawmakers tried to blame one another for the rejection, it appeared the House would go back into session late Thursday or Friday to take another run at the bailout plan. The Senate was scheduled to vote on the plan Wednesday evening, and McCain, Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, were returning to Washington for the vote. Obama warned it would be “catastrophic” if a deal isn’t reached soon and said Congress should work on the bill it rejected. “Given the progress we have made, I believe we are unlikely to succeed if we start from scratch or reopen negotiations about the core elements of the agreement,” the Illinois senator said in a statement. “But in order to pass this plan, we must do more.” McCain, whose own Republicans were largely responsible for sinking the bill, acknowledged that lawmakers had failed to convince voters that the deal was urgent. Both said the time for blame had passed and action was needed urgently. Obama told about 12,000 people at a rally at the University of Nevada at Reno that the crisis “affects the financial well-being of every single American. There will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now is the moment for us to come together and put the fire out.” McCain concurred in an interview on MSNBC. “So we’ve got to act and we’ve got to act – and I’m confident we will – we will pass legislation because we have to do it. And that’s – the important thing now is bipartisanship. Sit down and work together. That’s what I want to do, and that’s what I’m committed to do,” the four-term Arizona senator said. |

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh being greeted by France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) at the Elysee Palace in Paris
|
India and France on Tuesday signed a landmark agreement on civil nuclear cooperation that covers supply of reactors and atomic fuel in the first concrete step to bring New Delhi back into the nuclear mainstream after 34 years of isolation.
”We expect to finalise agreements with other European partners too” on civil nuclear cooperation, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said after holding talks with President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace here.
France is the first country to open nuclear commerce with India after the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) granted a waiver to New Delhi on September six. The Indo-US nuclear deal is awaiting Congressional nod and an agreement on it between the two countries is expected to be inked soon.
“Today we have added a new dimension to our strategic partnership by signing an inter-governmental agreement on civil nuclear cooperation,” Singh said after the Indo-France Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement was signed in the presence of the two leaders by Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
The agreement will form the basis of wide ranging bilateral cooperation from basic and applied research to full civil nuclear cooperation including reactors, fuel supplies, nuclear safety, radiation and environment protection and nuclear fuel cycle management.
The atomic pact is one of the three agreements signed during Singh’s two-day visit to Paris. The other two relates to social security matters which will benefit Indian and French nationals staying in each others countries on short duration up to five years and a Long Term Agreement on utilisation of the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) launch services.
“France is the first country with whom we have entered into such an agreement after the lifting of international restrictions on civil nuclear cooperation with India by the NSG. I conveyed to President Sarkozy our gratitude for France’s consistent support to our civil nuclear initiative,” Singh said.
The two countries decided to give a new impetus to their cooperation for the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as an expression of their strategic partnership.
A statement on the agreement said both sides recognise nuclear energy as a reliable source of sustainable and non-polluting energy, it could make a significant contribution to meeting the global challenge of achieving energy security.
It also noted that both the countries share common concerns and objectives in the field of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery including in view of possible linkages to terrorism.
As responsible states with advanced nuclear technologies, including in the fuel cycle, the two countries are interested to promote nuclear energy with the highest standards of safety and security, the statement said.
Wrapping up his 10-day visit to the US and France, Singh addressed India-EU Business Summit, during which he said New Delhi expects to finalise agreements on civil nuclear cooperation with other European countries.
Under the social security agreement inked today, workers on short term contract up to five years, do not have to make any social security contribution provided they continue to make social security payment in India and France respectively.
For Indians working in France, these benefits shall be available even when the Indian company sends its employees to the French Republic from a third country.
