Three Cents to Start your Week
Since there’s a dearth of earnings and economic data today, let’s take a look at three interesting charts and trends to start your week:
Manufacturing Jobs Keep Sinking
Last Friday’s job report was wildly disappointing, with June job additions being downward revised into the negative and August results coming in at a tepid 22K additions.
There’s more disappointment if you zoom out, though. Manufacturing payrolls were particularly underwhelming, with a net loss of 12K jobs in the sector during the month. The BLS even called out the 78K manufacturing jobs lost since the start of the year, which continues a years-long trend of declining manufacturing employment.

Moody’s: 1 in 3 States in Recession
Moody’s Analytics recently published data which showed that a third of U.S. states could already be in recession. Among them are states such as Georgia, Washington, and Illinois, among others. Other states, like Texas and California, have been more lucky.

AI Adoption Rates Decline
Investors on Wall Street have been seeking clues as to whether the AI boom is going bust.
Contradictory papers from MIT (which said companies weren’t turning a profit on pilots) and Stanford (which said AI was having a “significant and disproportionately impact” on entry-level employees) have made headlines, alongside earnings from prominent names like Nvidia.
But this weekend, researchers at Apollo added a new data point: they say that AI adoption rates are now slowing, per a Census Bureau survey, after hitting an all-time high in July.
