Via email, reader Denis wonders “Where did the Money go?” Hello Mish I read many times on your blog how bubbles created by the Fed led to the overpricing of assets such as real estate and stocks. Someone paid those overpriced valuations. So, where is the money? At some point will that money be used to mitigate the economic doom? Denis Illusion of Wealth Let’s take a look at a real estate example, then the stock market. Please consider home ownership rates. In 2002 …

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–An international survey of white collar workers reveals that information overload is a remarkably widespread and growing problem among professionals around the world, and one that exacts a heavy toll in terms of productivity and employee morale. The survey of 1,700 white collar workers in five countries – the United States, China, South Africa, United Kingdom and Australia – found professionals in every market struggling to cope and looking to their employers for customized solutions. On average, fifty-nine percent of professionals across the five markets surveyed say that the amount of information they have to process at work has significantly increased since the economic downturn. Given the rising tide of information, it is not surprising that a majority of workers in every market (62%, on average) admit that the quality of their work suffers at times because they can’t sort through the information they need fast enough.

(From PRNewswire) — The SFN Group Employee Confidence Index edged up 0.5 points to 48.7 in September. The index, which measures workers’ confidence in their personal employment situation and optimism in the economic environment, reveals that the same amount of workers are optimistic in the number of jobs available, despite a slight dip in the percentage believing the economy is getting stronger. At the same time, 35 percent of workers reported that they are likely to look for a new job. “Our latest Employee Confidence Index shows nominal movement,” said Roy Krause, president and CEO of SFN Group, Inc. “Despite continued economic uncertainty, there is some good news to report. Temporary help services, a leading indicator of future growth in the overall job market, showed year-to-year performance up 23.4 percent from September 2009. Although many employers are riding the current economic situation out, we are seeing broad project-based hiring activity in accounting, finance, technology and manufacturing, as well as in administrative and clerical. Moreover, according to our latest report, workers seem to be very open to considering a job change. The reality is, once the economy pulls itself out of this, companies will need top talent to create and sustain growth. Not engaging and retaining talent may severely hamper their ability to compete now and when the economy makes a full recovery.” Confidence in Overall Situation: The SFN Group Employee Confidence Index edged up 0.5 points to 48.7 in September. The index, which measures workers’ confidence in their personal employment situation and optimism in the economic environment, reveals that the same amount of workers are optimistic in the number of jobs available, despite a slight dip in the percentage believing the economy is getting stronger. At the same time, 35 percent of workers reported that they are likely to look for a new job.

Beneath the surface of a 9-1 vote in favor of continued quantitative easing, 7 of 17 Fed officials at the last FOMC meeting had at least some reservations about Bernanke’s policy.

(The Financial Post) — Things are looking up, but there’s still no shortage of headlines on the struggling economy – large lay-offs, double-dip recessions, and slow growth and recovery. The Age of Persuasion produced a great piece on recession marketing – I’d recommend the whole broadcast if you have time, but the parts that tie in here begin around 18:05 (and a friendly warning to anyone who’s anti-Monty Python). The real Take-Home Message of the program is that when times get tough, those who persist and push forward will be that much further ahead when the economy rights itself again. O’Reilly says of a food product manufacturer: “It fought to keep its place in people’s minds…the lesson: In a recession, the advertising landscape becomes a lot quieter and media rates drop. So, not only is a brand more easily heard, it can steal away business from the sector’s weakest players and gather momentum for when the recession ends.” I’m not advocating stealing anything from anyone, but can HR take a page from Marketing’s playbook here? Both job applicants and consumers make decisions in an increasingly noisy informational environment, and both are influenced by the organization’s reputation and brand, and the economic landscape.

While essentially ignoring the ballooning federal deficit and the ballooning Fed balance sheet, Bernanke says states should build bigger buffers. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Monday called for states to build up larger rainy-day funds as he said consumer spending is set to sustain the economic recovery. Bernanke said states should have taken more steps — and should do so in the future — to prepare for economic downturns. At the end of 2006, he noted, state governments had set …
