CRS: CHINA & THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS: U.S. IMPLICATIONS [9 February 2009]]
by Eugene McElroy 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Congressional Research Service (CRS) RS22984 China and the Global Financial Crisis: Implications for the United States February 09, 2009 http://opencrs.com/getfile.php?rid=80469 [full-text, 9 pages] Summary Over the past several years, China has enjoyed one of the world's fastest growing economies and has been a major contributor to world economic growth. However, the current global financial crisis threatens to significantly slow China's economy. Several Chinese industries, particularly the export sector, have been hit hard by crisis, and millions of workers have reportedly been laid off. This situation is of great concern to the Chinese government, which views rapid economic growth as critical to maintaining social stability. China is a major economic power and holds huge amounts of foreign exchange reserves, and thus its policies could have a major impact on the global economy. For example, the Chinese government has recently announced plans to implement a $586 billion package to help stimulate the domestic economy. If successful, this plan could also boost Chinese demand for imports. In addition, in an effort to help stabilize the U.S. economy, China might boost its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, which would help fund the Federal Government's borrowing needs to purchase troubled U.S. assets and to finance economic stimulus packages. However, some U.S. policymakers have expressed concerns over the potential political and economic implications of China's large and growing holdings of U.S. Government debt securities. This report will be updated as events warrant.

[IWS] EPI: BLUE COLLAR WAGES NOT CAUSE OF DECLINE IN MANUFACTURING [13 February 2009]]
by Eugene McElroy 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Economic Policy Institute (EPI) EPI Briefing Paper #229 Squandering the blue-collar advantage [13 February 2009] By Josh Bivens http://www.epi.org/publications/entry/bp229/ or http://www.epi.org/page/-/pdf/bp229.pdf [full-text, 13 pages] Press Release 13 February 2009 What's killing U.S. manufacturing? [Here's a hint: It's not what you've been hearing.] http://www.epi.org/page/-/pdf/20090213-manu-pr.pdf In the rapid decline of the U.S. manufacturing sector, many commentators have seized on a convenient whipping boy: a greedy blue-collar workforce that has, as the story goes, used its unionized strength to extort such unreasonably high wages and benefits that employers are unable to compete in either the domestic or the world marketplace. The most glaring recent example surfaced with the U.S. automakers' financial woes. Of course Detroit is in trouble, the argument went, because they're forced to pay assembly line workers $70 an hour. Even after that $70-per-hour figure was exposed as fictional, the idea that workers are being overpaid and are to blame for the decline of U.S. manufacturing has nevertheless persisted, taking on the patina of conventional wisdom. **************************************** Stuart Basefsky Director, IWS News Bureau Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell/ILR School 16 E. 34th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10016 Telephone: (607) 255-2703 Fax: (607) 255-9641 E-mail: smb6(a)cornell.edu **************************************** -- Eugene McElroy Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations Library 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 732-932-9513 tel: 732-932-9513 ********
