Mike (“Mish”) Shedlock’s site MISH’S Global Economic Trend Analysis provides regular, incisive and down to earth commentary on the US and global economies, and his site is one of my first ports of call when I want do take a more critical look at any US data that appears to be more dissembling than informing.
Mish has made a rare appearance on Yahoo’s Tech Ticker–another regular favourite of mine–to pull apart the most recent apparently positive developments in the US uemployment rate.
If you haven’t yet acquainted yourself with Mish, then I suggest you watch this video (also embedded below) with Aaron Task from Tech Ticker, and then check out Mish’s blog.
