At this point for the 30s-era DOW, the bull-run was over as the bear trend resumed in earnest… today though the Bull is seriously on the move… how long will this boom last?

In fact, household participation has been climbing so steadily that it has far surpassed the last peak set as a result of the immediate fallout following hurricane Katrina.

The latest data released by the Department of Agriculture shows that, on a year-over-year basis, household participation has increased a whopping 25.25% while individual participation, as a ratio of the overall population, has increased 22.83%.

The August results confirm that participation is continuing to climb dramatically, likely as a result of the recent jump in total unemployment, driving the nominal benefit costs up an astounding 62.61% on a year-over-year basis to $4,853,114,719 for the month.

Looking at the last chart that plots the total unemployment rate (unemployment rate of all traditionally unemployed workers plus all marginally attached and part time workers) and the population adjusted individual program participation rate normalized since 2005, one can plainly see that program participation would be expected to continue its surge.

The purchase application index has been highlighted as a particularly important data series as it very broadly captures the demand side of residential real estate for both new and existing home purchases.

The latest data is showing that the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage decreased 7 basis points since last week to 4.97% while the purchase application volume decreased 1.8% and the refinance application volume increased 14.5% compared to last week’s results.

It’s important to recognize that while the Federal Reserve’s “quantitative easing” measures have worked to push down fixed rates and resulting in two separate booms of refinance activity earlier in the year and what appears to be a third one shaping up now, purchase activity still appears to have been only lightly effected.

Even with historically low lending rates both refinance and purchase application volume appears lackluster and possibly even still in an overall declining trend.

The latest ISM manufacturing employment index breached 50 indicating expansion in manufacturing employment and, as Steve noted, there have been very few instances where total nonfarm payrolls have declined (on either a month-to-moth or year-over-year comparison basis) during periods where the ISM manufacturing employment index is at or over 50.

This would appear to imply that Friday’s number could come in much stronger than anticipated.

Looking at the following chart, you can see quite clearly that Steve is right in his assertion.

The green vertical bars show instances where the ISM index is over 50 but the nonfarm payroll number declined on a year-over-year basis while the purple vertical bars highlight month-to-month instances.

One thing to note from the chart above though is that since 1985 the ISM’s manufacturing employment index has rarely been above 50 so the overall significance of an “ISM vs Employment Situation” mashup may be minimal… but still… the employment index appears to be indicating pretty strongly that manufacturing employment is expanding.

Again though, given the circumstances, it is more likely that manufacturing swung into expansion as a result of the cash for clunker “autos and homes” programs and resultant dynamics and not organic economic expansion.
