Car Sales Stall in August Amid Clunkers Afterglow Fades
U S auto sales weakened in August as GM fell 7 percent from July and 25 percent from August 2009, Ford down 5 percent, and Subaru down 7.2 percent. Industry totals may dip below 1 million, the weakest August in 27 years, as buyers avoid showrooms amid economic nerves. GM’s brands slumped but Buick and Cadillac rose on the back of the clunkers era. Subaru struggled with small cars.

Jobless numbers rise in some cities
In July the unemployment rate rose in 176 of the nation’s 372 largest metro areas, fell in 152, and was unchanged in 44, signaling slower hiring across the United States. California and Michigan cities led with high rates, while North Dakota sites posted the lowest. Private payrolls slowed, with ADP showing 10,000 jobs cut in August amid a fragile growth outlook.

Regulators defend actions before Lehman collapse inquiry
Federal bank regulators told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission that government decisions in 2008 to let Lehman fail and to back Wells Fargo’s bid for Wachovia made sense under the circumstances. They said they tried to save Lehman but lacked tools and authority to avert the crisis.
