Officials Unalarmed by Price Declines
The AP reports muted official reassurance over falling prices and rising unemployment in the US. Despite a downturn in New York stocks and bond markets, officials see the trend as non alarming with a possible silver lining for the dollar. Unemployment rose to about 2,650,000 in January, while government figures note 2,000,000 more out of work than December but many are seasonal workers. Tobin and Nourse downplay alarm, Brannan calls food-price declines a normal adjustment, and officials expect spring demand to lift jobs.
