CHART OF THE DAY: What If Apple Transferred $1 Billion In Profits To Foxconn Workers?

View this email online | Add newsletter@businessinsider.com to your address book

Thursday, February 9, 2012


	What If Apple Transferred $1 Billion In Profits To Foxconn Workers? We saw this chart from Nic Musolino at ninety9, via Yves Smith at Naked Capitalism. It shows what would happen if Apple were to transfer $1 billion in profits to all Foxconn employees. As you can see, the average wage of a Foxconn worker would double, while Apple's profits would barely be affected. Why would Apple want to do this? Smith argues that when Henry Ford raised wages for Ford's assembly line workers it led to other manufacturers having to raise wages to keep up. That ended up creating a lot of wealth around the country, which led to more people being able to afford cars. In theory, Apple could take a very small short term profit hit to accelerate the development of China's iPad/iPhone buying middle class. Read »

	The Popularity Of Linsanity Has Surpassed Tebowmania If you want to get a sense of how popular Jeremy Lin has become in just a few days, check out this chart that measures the popularity of search terms on the internet. In the last few days, Lin has surpassed even Tim Tebow in terms of internet popularity. And while it is the off-season for Tebow, consider that he made all the media rounds last week at the Super Bowl. And also notice that as Lin's popularity is growing, Tebow's numbers also peaked momentarily. This is likely due to comparisons between the two underdog athletes... Read »

Moneybox Chipotle Is Apple The burrito chain is revolutionizing food: Why doesn't it get more respect? By Matthew Yglesias Posted Thursday, Feb 09, 2012, at 06:01 PM ET Hunting for business success stories in a recession is a difficult (and sometimes depressing) task. Most of the feel-good stories seem to come from the high-tech world and the burgeoning app economy. One important exception is Chipotle Mexican Grill, a company that shows there's clearly room for growth and innovation in even the most basic sectors of the economy. Anyone who has walked a city block (or driven a suburban one) in recent years knows that Chipotles have been springing up around the country. But the numbers need to be seen to be believed. They opened 67 new stores in the fourth quarter of 2011, growing by just over 5 percent to 1,230 total outlets. They opened the first Chipotle in London, and launched their second restaurant concept, the Southeast Asian-themed ShopHouse, whose initial location has quickly become a lunchtime favorite for those of us who work in the nearby *Slate* D.C. office. Chipotle stock is up 50 percent on the year and over 500 percent over five years, far outperforming the market as a whole or the restaurant sector in particular. They announced last week that revenue grew 23.7 percent in 2011, with an 11 percent increase in same-store revenues. Restaurant operating margins are more than 25 percent. Yet the food service industry can't seem to get any respect. Politicians don't name-drop burrito innovators as examples of the kind of entrepreneurs they want to encourage, and despite food's ubiquity in our lives ... To continue reading, click here.

Politics Tampa or Bust Forget what the pundits tell you. The Republican race will go on and on—and there's nothing wrong with that. By David Weigel Posted Wednesday, Feb 08, 2012, at 07:41 PM ET Political reporters make for lousy gravediggers. Find a primary, pick a day, and I can point you to a story pronouncing the campaign "over" or "almost over" or over, pending the judgment of a proverbial Fat Lady. Let's make it easy and start last month. On Jan. 10, as Romney was winning New Hampshire, NPR quoted a Republican strategist who counted the margins and pronounced the race "over." On Jan. 18, the Los AngelesTimes informed us that South Carolina's primary "could essentially end" the Santorum and Gingrich campaigns. Two days later, NBC News told us that a Romney win in the first southern primary would make him "the de facto nominee." When Romney lost, we got pre-Florida primary headlines like "Can Mitt Romney recover from his South Carolina 'disaster?' " Days later, Howard Kurtz was tap-tapping about the "distinct possibility" that the media would "bury Newt Gingrich for the third time" in Florida. No one was talking about Rick Santorum until yesterday, when the Wall Street Journal saluted Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri for "puncturing Mitt Romney's claim to be the unstoppable front-runner." My old colleague Jack Shafer once praised "horse race" coverage of presidential politics. "Every political reporter I know," he wrote, "yearns to cover a deadlocked presidential convention." It's true. So why has every single primary spawned dull, topsy-turvy—and ultimately wrong—stories about how it "Marked the End" of one candidate or another? Tuesday's caucus-goers have done us a real solid, forcing the media ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?

Why The Unemployment Rate Is Going A LOT Lower

Thursday, February 9, 2012


	Why The Unemployment Rate Is Going A LOT Lower Today's strong initial claims number was the second best since the financial crisis, and a nice confirmation that last week's Non-Farm Payrolls report was no fluke. And the good news is that the unemployment rate -- which is down to 8.3% -- is probably going a lot lower. This chart, which we first saw published at The Bonddad Blog, looks at the historical relationship between initial claims at unemployment. The key tweak is that the red line -- initial claims -- is "detrended" meaning its divided by the population rate, so that it adjusts for the expanding population (you'd surmise that as the population grew, that initial claims would also generally drift higher for reasons that have nothing to do with the economy). When you present the two in this way, you can see there's a fairly tight relationship, and you can also see that based on this historical pattern, the unemployment rate should come down. Read »
