1 March 19 Gus Faucher Stuart Hoffman William Adams Kurt Rankin Abbey Omodunbi Chief Economist Senior Economic Advisor Senior Economist Economist Economist Executive Summary Weak February Job Growth, and Slow Retail Sales at the End of 18 The U.S. economy added just, jobs in February, far below consensus expectations for a gain of 18,. This was the smallest number of net jobs created in a month since September 17, when Hurricanes Harvey and Irma weighed on hiring. There were combined upward revisions of 1, in December and January. Private-sector hiring was 5, in February. Despite the very weak February report, job growth has averaged 18, over the past three months. The unemployment rate fell to.8 percent in February from. percent in January as government workers who had been on unpaid furlough because of the partial government shutdown, and were counted as unemployed in January, moved back into employed status. This is just slightly above the cyclical low unemployment rate of.7 percent in September and November of last year. Average hourly earnings rose. percent over the month after a gain of less than.1 percent in January. Year-over-year growth in wages was. percent in February, the strongest gain since March 9. U.S. gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, increased. percent at an annual rate in the fourth quarter of 18, better than the. percent consensus. This was the initial estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. It combined the advance and second estimates; the advance estimate was canceled due to the partial government shutdown earlier this year. This was a solid result, although growth slowed from the second and third quarters. Real GDP increased.9 percent in 18 from 17, averaged across the four quarters of the year. On a year-over-year basis real GDP growth was.1 percent in the fourth quarter, up from. percent in the third quarter. Consumer spending and business investment led overall economic growth in the fourth quarter. Retail sales rose. percent in January, slightly better than the consensus expectation for a.1 percent increase. But this followed a huge 1. percent drop in December, revised even lower from the initially reported 1. percent decline. December was the biggest monthly drop since September 9, after federal incentives for new car buyers expired. January details were better than the headline number. December s decline does not appear to be related to data problems from the government shutdown. The big drop in stock prices in late 18 may have spooked consumers.

2 5 Weak Job Growth in February, But Trend Is Still Solid Establishment Survey Household Survey 5 Solid Economic Growth Throughout 18 Real GDP, annualized % change Monthly Change in Employment (-month MA, ths.) - '1 '1 '15 '1 '17 '18 ' '1 '15 '1 '17 '18 Risk of Recession Is Low in 19, But Likelihood Will Increase in and 1 Although job growth was weak in February and retail sales plunged in December, overall the U.S. economy remains in solid shape in early 19. With solid fundamentals the current U.S. economic expansion, now the second-longest in history, should continue at least through the rest of this year and into. However, the risk of recession will increase in and again in 1, as much of the support for the economy is coming from tax cuts and temporary increases in government spending; that fiscal stimulus is likely to turn into a drag on growth over the next couple of years. The current economic expansion started in June 9, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which dates U.S. business cycles. If the current expansion lasts until mid-19 it will become the longest in U.S. history; currently, the longest expansion lasted 1 months, from 1991 to 1. Recessions are caused by imbalances in the economy, and right now there are few worrisome signs. Although job growth slipped in February, it has averaged better than, per month over the past year, well above what is needed to keep up with underlying growth in the labor force. And weekly initial unemployment insurance claims, a very timely labor market indicator, remain near a decades-long low. Despite the big drop in retail sales in December and weak January rebound, consumers are in good shape thanks to solid job growth, the best wage growth in a decade, and a high savings rate. As consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of the economy, the expansion should continue as long as the labor market holds up. Business investment is also in good shape, as profitability is good and firms feel confident and need to invest to increase output. The corporate and personal income tax cuts passed at the end of 17 and a big increase in federal spending legislated in 18 are providing fiscal stimulus to the economy this year. And with inflation low, the Federal Reserve has the flexibility to provide monetary stimulus to the U.S. economy if weakness does emerge. The biggest risks to the economy in 19 are therefore geopolitical. There are a number of things that could go wrong. A hard Brexit could cause a steep recession in Great Britain and the Eurozone, pushing the U.S. economy into recession. Or a trade war erupts between the U.S. and China, leading to a global downturn. Or a domestic political crisis, like a debt limit standoff, leads to plunge in the stock market and spooks U.S. consumers and businesses. PNC puts the probability of recession in 19 at a low 15 percent. But the risk of recession will rise in, and then again in 1. The big reason is the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. Right now the federal tax cuts and spending increases are fueling growth, but that positive impact will fade over the course of this year and into, making the economy more vulnerable to an external shock. The Trump administration may try to avoid a recession in, ahead of the presidential election, by attempting more fiscal stimulus, but by 1 fiscal stimulus is likely to turn into fiscal drag. PNC puts the probability of a recession beginning by at percent, and of one beginning by 1 at about 5 percent. The baseline forecast calls for continued, albeit slower, economic growth over the next five years, because it is difficult to predict exactly when a recession will begin. But at some point over the next few years a recession will likely occur through some combination of economic excess; a policy mistake, either by the federal government or the Federal Reserve; and an external shock. After growth of.9 percent in 18, the U.S. economy should expand. percent this year. Growth was soft in the first quarter because of the partial federal government shutdown, will rebound in the second quarter, and then slow in the second half of this year as fiscal stimulus wears off. Monthly job growth will slow to around 15, in 19 because of the tight labor market. The unemployment rate will fall slowly to end this year at around.5 percent, then rise a bit in with slower economic growth. With inflation slowing thanks to a big drop in energy prices, the Federal Open Market Committee signaled at its March rate decision that policymakers do not expect to raise the target for the federal funds rate in 19, and could be done raising interest rates for this cycle. Inflation will soften in the first half of 19, then gradually trend higher toward the Federal Reserve s percent objective.
