The construction industry added 19,000 jobs in July even as the sector’s unemployment rate increased, according to an analysis of new government data the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials noted that tight labor conditions are bringing more previously employed construction workers back into the job market as firms continue to boost pay levels.

“The construction industry continues to add workers at a steady clip as demand for many types of construction remains strong,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Firms are boosting pay to cope with tight labor market conditions, which is bringing more former workers back into the job market.”

Construction employment in July totaled 7,971,000, seasonally adjusted, an addition of 19,000 compared to June. The sector has added 198,000 jobs or 2.5 percent during the past 12 months. Nonresidential construction firms—

nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors along with heavy and civil engineering construction firms— added 10,600 employees (3.1 percent) in July. Meanwhile, employment at residential building and specialty trade contractors grew by 7,800 (1.8 percent).

The unemployment rate among jobseekers with construction experience rose from 3.5 percent in July 2022 to a still-low 3.9 percent. A separate government release earlier this week reported there were 378,000 openings at construction firms on the last day of June, close to the record high for June set in 2022 and indicating that demand for workers remains strong.

Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in construction—covering most onsite craft workers as well as many office workers— jumped by 5.8 percent over the year to $34.24 per hour. Construction firms in July provided a wage “premium” of just

over 18 percent compared to the average hourly earnings for all private-sector production employees.

Association officials said that labor shortages in construction threaten to undermine new federal investments in infrastructure, semiconductor chip plant and green energy construction. They urged federal officials to boost funding for construction education and training programs, noting the federal government currently spends five times as much encouraging students to go to college as it does on career and technical education programs.

“Unless federal officials begin to narrow the funding gap between college prep and career training the construction industry will continue to struggle to find workers,” said Sandherr. “It is great that federal officials want to invest in construction projects, they also need to invest in construction workforce development.”

Many happy returns (on investment): Top ten sectors investors should consider

ANDREW HERRIG | WEALTH OF GEEKS

There’s a stock sector that yields a 50% return on investment? Most investors are happy hitting the 7-10% target – the potential of five times that in 12 years seems like a fantasy. Of course, the only sure bet in the investment community is there are no sure bets, at least when it comes to a guaranteed return on investment (ROI).

A recent study by InvestinGoal.com examines the consistency, reliability, and average return on investment by sector instead of individual entities listed on the S&P 500 index. The results reveal the IT (information technology) sector is the most promising for investors. This ranking is based on several factors, including advancements in AI technology, cloud computing, and software development.

Other shortlisted sectors include real estate, healthcare, and industrials – all enterprises with tangible, real-life applications. The study breaks down its findings into specific percentages: Average returns on investment, minimal returns on investment, and maximum returns on investment.

Here are the top ten sectors investors should consider in the current economic atmosphere:

IT

The IT sector holds the top spot, with an average return over ten years of 18.1%. IT includes companies researching, developing, or distributing technologyrelated goods and services.

The minimum return in the last decade was -28.2% in 2013, while the maximum was 50.3% in 2019. High-performing stocks within the IT category include Advanced Micro Devices (153% growth), Lam Research (117% growth), and KLA (100% growth).

Consumer Discretionary

The consumer discretionary sector earns the second spot, with an average return of 15.3%. The minimum return on investment was -37% in 2022, while the maximum was 43.1% in 2013. The consumer discretionary sector includes businesses that sell nonessential products and services that most consumers consider luxuries or upgrades.

Healthcare

The healthcare sector is third, with an average return of 13.4%. The healthcare sector includes businesses engaged in direct medical services, production of medical devices, formulation of medications, medical insurance, or healthcare delivery.

Top performers include Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, and Johnson & Johnson.

Industrials

In fourth place, the industrials sector reported 13.2% average returns. The industrials sector includes companies focused on producing capital goods utilized in manufacturing, resource extraction, and construction activities.

Financials

The financial sector is fifth on the shortlist, with an average return of 12.3%, which includes firms and institutions that provide financial services to commercial and retail customers, with an average return of 12.3%. The financial sector includes banks, investment companies, insurance companies, and real estate firms.

Real Estate

The real estate sector landed in the sixth spot, with a 12.2% average return on investment, -26.1% minimum return on investment, and 48.2% maximum return

on investment over ten years. The real estate sector includes companies selling and developing residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Consumer Staples

The consumer staple sector placed seventh on the shortlist, with an average return of 11.9%, a minimal return of -8.4%, and a maximum return of 27.6% over the past decade. The consumer staples sector includes companies that produce goods and services most consumers consider essential for living, such as food, clothing, and household goods.

Utilities

The utilities sector holds the eighth position, with an average return of 11.0%, a minimal return of -4.8%, and a maximum return of 29.0% over ten years. The utilities sector includes companies that provide water, natural gas, electricity, and other essential energy sources to residential and commercial consumers.

Materials

The materials sector is in the ninth spot, with an average return of 10.6%, a minimal return of -14.7%, and a maximum return of 27.3% recorded in the last decade. The materials sector includes companies

Profits on home sales rebound across U.S. in second quarter as housing market revives

ATTOM has released its second-quarter 2023 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that profit margins on median-priced single-family home and condo sales in the United States increased to 47.7 percent in the second quarter – the first gain in a year.

The improvement in typical profit margins, from 43.9 percent in the first quarter of 2023, came amid a rebound in the U.S. housing market that pushed the median nationwide home price up 10 percent quarterly to $350,000. Both the nationwide profit margin and median home price increased after three straight quarterly drop-offs that had begun to reverse a decade-long market boom.

However, even as seller fortunes turned around in the second quarter, the typical investment return nationwide did remain below the recent high point of 53.2 percent, recorded a year earlier during the second quarter of 2022.

“Just when it looked like the housing market was flattening out, prices spiked again, which pushed seller profits back up to nearly their highest level in the past decade,” said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM. “Stable mortgage rates, an ongoing tight supply of homes for sale and the usual Springtime surge in buyer demand appeared to have combined to halt the downturn we started seeing a year ago. It’s way too early to predict another longterm price run-up, especially since buying a home is a financial stretch for so many households around the country. But the second-quarter numbers clearly show the market has more steam left in it, and sellers are reaping the benefits.”

Gross profits also shot up from the first to the second quarter of 2023. They rose 17 percent on the typical single-family home and condo sale across the country, to $113,000, although they were still down 5 percent annually.

The about-face in profits and prices around the U.S. during the second quarter reflected a housing market in flux.

After a decade of almost continual increases, home prices dipped across most of the country in the middle of 2022 and continued declining through the first quarter of 2023. The national median price dropped 7 percent during that time as rising home-mortgage rates, high consumer price inflation and a faltering stock market cut into what potential buyers could afford.

Prices and profits went back up in the second quarter during the start of the annual buying season, helped along by several forces. They included the nation’s limited supply of homes for sale, mortgage rates that stabilized at around 6.5 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate loan, investment market gains and an easing of inflation. As the 2023 home-buying season continues, the prospect of even better seller profits remains in place but will depend heavily on whether any or all of those factors improve or decline.

Profit margins grow quarterly in two-thirds of U.S. but remain down annually

Typical profit margins – the percent difference between median purchase and resale prices – increased from the first

quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2023 in 107 (69 percent) of the 156 metropolitan statistical areas around the U.S. with sufficient data to analyze. However, they were still down in 118, or 76 percent, of those metros compared to the second quarter of last year, as the recent improvements were not enough to wipe out losses sustained from the middle of 2022 to the early part of 2023.

Metro areas were included if they had sufficient population and at least 1,000 single-family home and condo sales in the second quarter of 2023.

The biggest quarterly increases in typical profit margins came in the metro areas of Barnstable, MA (margin up from 47 percent in the first quarter of 2023 to 69.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023); Fort Wayne, IN (up from 46.7 percent to 65.5 percent); Augusta, GA (up from 45.7 percent to 64.1 percent); Rochester, NY (up from 50.9 percent to 68 percent) and Charleston, SC (up from 37.7 percent to 52 percent).

Aside from Rochester, the biggest quarterly profit-margin increases in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in the second quarter of 2023 were in Grand Rapids, MI (return up from 63.9 percent to 76.5 percent); Raleigh, NC (up from 35.8 percent to 47.7 percent), Hartford, CT (up from 38.5 percent to 50.1 percent) and San Diego, CA (up from 45.3 percent to 56.7 percent).

Typical profit margins decreased quarterly in just 49 of the 156 metro areas analyzed (31 percent). The biggest quarterly decreases were in Scranton, PA (margin down from 86.9 percent in the first quarter of 2023 to 70.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023); Hilo, HI (down from 101.5 percent to 86.7 percent); Detroit, MI (down from 90 percent to 76 percent); Spartanburg, SC (down from 60.6 percent to 46.6 percent) and Flint, MI (down from 91.6 percent to 80.5 percent).

Aside from Detroit, the largest quarterly decreases in profit margins among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million came in Pittsburgh, PA (down from 50.9 percent to 40.2 percent); Buffalo, NY (down from 70.9 percent to 61.5 percent); Indianapolis, IN (down from 48.7 percent to 40.4 percent) and Honolulu, HI (down from 47.1 percent to 41.1 percent).

Metro areas with a population of at least 1 million where typical profits remained down the most annually included Austin, TX (margin down from 80.3 percent in the

second quarter of 2022 to 47.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023), San Francisco, CA (down from 85.1 percent to 59.4 percent); Phoenix, AZ (down from 75.8 percent to 51.6 percent); Salt Lake City, UT (down from 69.3 percent to 46.4 percent) and Las Vegas, NV (down from 66.5 percent to 46.5 percent).

Raw profits up in almost 90 percent of housing markets

Profits on median-priced home sales nationwide, measured in raw dollars, increased from $96,573 in the first quarter of 2023 to $113,000 in the second quarter, a 17 percent gain. Typical raw profits went up quarterly in 137, or 88 percent, of the metro areas analyzed for this report.

Annually, however, raw profits remained down 4.6 percent from a record high of $118,400 in the second quarter of 2022. They dropped year over year in 65 percent of the markets analyzed.

The biggest quarterly raw-profit increases in areas with a population of at least 1 million were in Birmingham, AL (up 47 percent); Rochester, NY (up 44 percent); St. Louis, MO (up 37 percent); Hartford, CT (up 35 percent) and Cleveland, OH (up 33 percent).

On an annual basis, the largest yearover-year declines in raw profits on medianpriced home sales among metros with a population of at least 1 million came in Austin, TX (down 36 percent); Birmingham, AL (down 32 percent); Salt Lake City (down

28 percent); San Francisco, CA (down 27 percent) and Phoenix, AZ (down 27 percent).

The largest raw profits on medianpriced sales in the second quarter of 2023 were in San Jose, CA (profit of $600,000); San Francisco, CA ($416,000); San Diego, CA ($301,500); Seattle, WA ($285,000) and Naples, FL ($265,905).

The smallest were in Shreveport, LA ($14,000); Beaumont, TX ($24,943); Rockford, IL ($38,140); McAllen, TX ($41,407) and Toledo, OH ($43,000).

Prices up quarterly in more than 90 percent of nation

Median single-family home and condo prices increased from the first to the second quarter of 2023 in 150 (96 percent) of the 156 metro areas around the country with enough data to analyze and were up annually in 94 of those metros (60 percent).

Nationwide, the median home price rose to $350,000, up 10.4 percent from $317,000 in the first quarter of 2023 and 2.4 percent over the previous record of $341,750, set in the second quarter of last year.

Among metro areas, the biggest increases in median home prices from the first quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2023 were in Rochester, NY (up 20 percent); Madison, WI (up 19.1 percent); Bridgeport. CT (up 18.6 percent); St. Louis, MO (up 17 percent) and Augusta, GA (up 16.9 percent).

Aside from Rochester and St. Louis, the largest median-price increases during the second quarter of 2023 in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million were in Detroit, MI (up 15.8 percent); Birmingham, AL (up 15.6 percent) and Grand Rapids, MI (up 14.5 percent).

Home prices tied or hit new highs during the second quarter of 2023 in 89, or 57 percent, of the 156 metro areas in the report. Metro areas with a population of more than 1 million that set or tied records in the second quarter included Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; Dallas, TX; Washington, DC, and Atlanta, GA.

The only metro areas with a population of at least 1 million where the median home price declined from the first to the second quarter of 2023 were Honolulu HI (down 1.4) and Salt Lake City (down .03 percent). Staff report

Record-setting activity ebbs as agricultural real estate market slows down

The agriculture real estate market entered a period of de-escalation beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022. The market experienced a reduction in both sales volume and value growth since that time, as interest rates increased, and inflation pressures became more apparent.

That trend has continued into the first half of 2023 with fewer properties being offered for sale and market values that, while still strong, are dramatically off the pace seen in the first half of 2022.

Results from the Federal Reserve District Surveys reflect this trend between the third and fourth quarter of 2022 and now continuing into the first half of 2023. Value growth is still positive across the Midwest, but increases are now in the single digits instead of the double digits seen in 2021 and 2022.

Farm operators remain the largest group of buyers through Farmers National Company, accounting for nearly 80 percent of all land sale transactions.

“These operators have enjoyed a period of high liquidity over the past five years but are now moving into a period of increasing debt service and borrowing. This will most likely result in less available cash reserve to deploy for capital expenditures and land purchases,” said Paul Schadegg, senior vice president of real estate operations for Farmers National Company. “While investors have not always been the successful buyer of properties offered for sale, they certainly are part of the equation, helping set a floor on land values and creating a competitive market. If farm operators step back from aggressive bidding for land, investors will most likely step in to take advantage of purchasing options.”

There continues to be a strong appetite for agriculture properties from individuals considering farm expansion and investment opportunities due to positive attributes of the ag economy. That overall bullish outlook for the ag economy will continue to drive the demand for high quality cropland, Schadegg noted.

Commodity markets will remain the primary driver in land sale activity and value moving forward.

“But with that being said, profitability is what will determine what the land market will bear. So, we must consider rising interest rates, inflation and supply chain into the overall picture,” Schadegg said. “Landowners continue to look for opportunity in the agriculture land market, deciding if this is the best time to sell at historic values or retain ownership of what continues to be a very valuable asset.”

The sales volume at Farmers National Company through the first half of 2023 continues to exceed the five-year average but is slightly off the “exceptional” pace set in 2021 and 2022. Motivated buyers continued to drive bidding at late spring sales, resulting in stable and strong values across all classes of land, Schadegg said.

“Looking ahead to the second half of

2023, we anticipate strong competition for high quality land offered for sale. The overall U.S. agriculture economy is healthy with Midwestern banks reporting increased operational lending but strong loan performance and projections for a profitable 2023 growing season. Our pipeline for scheduled fall sales is beginning to fill at a typical pace with buyers and sellers of farmland requesting information on upcoming sales,” Schadegg said.

“We remain confident that the strong demand for quality agriculture land will continue through the year. That opinion, coupled with the stable ag economy and a supply/demand scenario favoring the land owner, will maintain the current and longterm value of farmland across the U.S,” he added.

U.S. corporate borrowers face second-half challenges, report says

U.S. nonfinancial corporate borrowers are entering the second half of the year simultaneously buoyed by resilient economic activity and weighed down by persistent price pressures and the prospect—in fact, the virtual certainty—of higher-for-longer interest rates, S&P Global Ratings said in a report titled “U.S. Corporate Credit Outlook Midyear 2023: A Fragile Stability”.

All-in borrowing costs are far higher than they were this time last year, attributable to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes. Financing conditions look set to remain challenging through the end of the year, especially for the lowest-rated borrowers, with benchmark interest rates unlikely to fall any time soon and lenders becoming more selective.

“Lower-rated borrowers are vulnerable to liquidity constraints, with earnings under pressure in many corporate sectors and the debt-maturity wall creeping into view,” said David Tesher, S&P Global Ratings’ head of North America Credit Research. “A protracted period of more costly credit would weigh on entities’ debt-service burdens and limit access to funding.”

We think the U.S. will narrowly avoid slipping into recession this year, with the world’s biggest economy proving resilient to a multitude of stresses. This comes as we expect the central bank to keep its policy rate at 5.25%-5.5% at least until mid-2024. While inflation has shown signs of easing, core inflation remains above the Fed’s comfort level.

Against this higher-for-longer backdrop, refinancing at prevailing rates can as much as double the interest expense for the lowest-rated companies. Even if maturities are many years away, speculative-grade companies typically have floating-rate debt, which means interest costs have crept higher.

Companies saddled with the combination of large amounts of debt and thin profit margins are most vulnerable. Broadly speaking, this includes companies in capital-intensive sectors that are highly competitive. To the extent that these entities are more exposed to unhedged floatingrate debt, even small rate increases have resulted in significant jumps in interest expense, sometimes pushing businesses

into insolvency.

Speculative-grade maturities are relatively low in the next 12 months, yet they escalate quickly, rising to $84 billion in the first half of 2024, and to $173 billion in the first half of 2025.

Further complicating the lending environment is the slump in commercial real estate (CRE), as declining demand for certain types of properties—e.g., office space—weighs on asset valuations and erodes cash flows at a time when financing costs have increased. Banks have already curbed lending in response to sector turmoil earlier this year, and as they strive to fortify their balance sheets, tighter lending conditions could become more widespread, making it more difficult for entities— especially small and midsize businesses, as well as households—to gain funding.

The health care, retail, and consumer products sectors stand out as having the highest proportion of negative outlooks and borrowers on CreditWatch with negative implications. While consumer products companies are beginning to benefit from normalized consumer behaviors and improving supply chains, health care remains saddled with rising input and labor costs.

Rising interest rates and inflation have been primary contributors to margin pressures, however labor-related issues are becoming more prominent. Close to half of the sectors we cover include labor costs or availability as a pain point. The tight labor market has been the lynchpin keeping consumers spending and helping to stave off a recession. However, a gradual decline in the quit rate and the ratio of job vacancies to job seekers—now both well off their recent peaks—suggest the labor market is starting to soften. This raises several questions, including whether the advances in remuneration and working conditions accrued during the time that labor was hardest to find will stick.

Consumers report improving job security, healthy household finances

The Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) Home Purchase Sentiment Index® (HPSI) increased slightly in July, as consumers’ increased confidence regarding their personal financial situations was largely offset by further pessimism toward homebuying conditions. Three of the HPSI’s six components increased month over month, including the components measuring job security and home price expectations. However, 82% of consumers reported that it’s a “bad time to buy” a home, a new survey high and up from 78% in June. The full index is up 4.0 points year over year.

“While consumers are reporting confidence in the components related to their personal financial situations, it’s unlikely we’ll see housing sentiment catch up to other broader economic confidence measures until there is meaningful improvement to home

MARGENAU: Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice

Do any of you remember the movie: “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice?” It came out in 1969 and starred Robert Culp and Natalie Wood as a trendy West Coast couple who were trying to talk a not-so-hip, straight-laced couple, played by Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon, into a wife-swapping arrangement.

So, what does wife-swapping have to do with Social Security? Well, nothing, of course. (Unless there are some parts of the law I’m still not familiar with!) But I’m using these two couples (sans their marital dalliances) to help explain a law that frustrates and upsets a lot of my readers.

I’m talking about the Government Pension Offset (GPO) law that affects teachers in several states as well as other public employees who spend the bulk of their careers in jobs not covered by Social Security.

In a nutshell, that law says if you will get a pension from a job not covered by Social Security, that pension will offset any benefits you might be due on your spouse’s Social Security record. The Social Security Administration must deduct an amount equal to two-thirds of your government pension from any wives’, husbands’, widows’ or widowers’ benefits you might be due from Social Security.

Note: This offset affects only the spouse’s benefit you might be due on your husband or wife’s Social Security record. It does not affect his or her benefit. In other words, even though you are due a teacher’s pension or government pension, your spouse will get his or her full Social Security retirement benefit. It is your potential spousal benefit on your husband or wife’s Social Security record that is affected by the Government Pension Offset.

So why is there an offset? Because benefits that Social Security pays to wives, husbands, widows and widowers are “dependents’” benefits. These benefits were established in the 1930s to compensate spouses who stayed home to raise a family and who were financially dependent on the working spouse. But as more and more couples both worked, they each earned their own Social Security retirement benefits. The law has always required the SSA to offset a Social Security retirement benefit against any dependents’

specializing in all aspects of raw industrial materials, from mining to processing to delivery.

Energy

The energy sector is in the final position on the shortlist, with an average return of only 10.2% but a maximum return of 65.7% for 2022, the highest on the list. While consumer demand for the energy sector’s products remains consistently high, the market’s overall volatility has a noticeable effect on its year-to-year performance.

Pros and Cons of Sector Investing

Creating and growing any investment portfolio eventually hinges on one word: diversification.

One of the biggest pros for sector investing is the ability to put funds into an array of companies without having any specialized knowledge of the sector as a whole. For example, an investment in the energy sector can still yield a higher-than-average ROI even if individual companies suffer short-term losses. Sector investing provides

benefits. In other words, if a woman worked and earned her own $1,800 monthly Social Security retirement benefit but was also due a $1,500 wife’s benefit on her husband’s Social Security record, the SSA could not pay that wife’s benefit, because her own Social Security benefit offsets it. But if that same woman was a teacher who did not pay into Social Security and who earned an $1,800 teacher’s pension, there was no offset, and the SSA was required to pay her a full wife’s! benefit in addition to her government pension.

The Government Pension Offset rule exists simply to ensure that everyone is treated fairly.

Many teachers and government employees affected by the government pension offset think the law is unfair. They believe they are being cheated out of Social Security benefits that everyone else gets. But they are wrong. And to explain that, let’s get back to Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. Let’s say they are neighbors and live in a nice suburb of Dallas. And, so I don’t have to get into any messy calculations involving early retirement, let’s say they all are over full retirement age.

Bob and Carol both worked all their lives. And they worked at jobs that were covered by Social Security. In other words, Social Security taxes were deducted from both their paychecks.

Neighbor Ted also worked at a job covered by Social Security. But his wife, Alice, was a teacher in Dallas. Texas teachers pay into the Texas Teacher’s Retirement System, but they do not pay into Social Security.

Bob retired and is getting $3,200 per month in Social Security retirement benefits. Carol is getting a Social Security retirement pension of about $2,000 per month. Carol is technically due 50% of Bob’s rate, or $1,800 in spousal benefits. But she can’t get anything because her own retirement benefit offsets any wives’ benefits she might have been due on Bob’s record.

Across the street (and to keep my math simple), let’s say Ted is also getting $3,200 per month from Social Security. And let’s also say that Alice is getting a $2,000 per month retirement pension, but hers comes from the Texas teachers’ system, not Social Security.

overall risk abatement since investors can take advantage of sudden market changes.

A major con of sector investing, however, is market volatility. Instead of a rising tide lifting all boats, a sudden reversal of fortune for one company in the sector can pull down other companies by association. The potential for an exceptional ROI through sector investing may not be worth the loss exposure if any of the ingredients in that sector suffer from one bad headline or global crisis.

Filippo Ucchino, CEO of InvestinGoal. com, commented on the findings: “Based on this data, investing in the IT sector has proven to be highly rewarding, with strong average returns in the long run. This dynamic sector thrives on innovation and technological advancements, such as software development, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, offering tremendous growth opportunities for investors.”

“The enhancement of artificial intelligence in particular, poses a starting point for a new era of development in the stock market. In fact, AI-driven systems

Before the GPO law was in place, Alice would have received a $1,800 dependent wife’s benefit from Social Security in addition to her full teacher’s pension. And even with the GPO law, only two-thirds of her teacher’s pension, or $1,320, must be used to offset her spousal benefit. That means that Alice, the teacher, will still get $480 in spousal benefits from Ted’s record. ($1,800 minus $1,320 equals $480.) And remember, across the street, Social Security recipient Carol gets nothing.

And now let’s take things a step further. Let’s say that all the wife-swapping and other marital shenanigans caused both Bob and Ted to die from heart attacks. So now Carol and Alice are due widow’s benefits. Carol is going to get $1,200 in widow’s benefits because her own $2,000 retirement pension must be deducted from her potential $3,200 widow’s rate.

But Alice, the teacher, comes out a little better. Once again, only two-thirds of her teacher’s pension, or $1,320, is used to offset her widow’s rate. So, Alice will end up with $1,880 in widow’s benefits, compared to

Carol’s $1,200 rate.

And yet, Alice is mysteriously upset because she thinks the Government Pension Offset law is cheating her out of some of her spousal or widow’s benefits. She thinks she and other teachers are being singled out for Social Security penalties that apply to no one else. What she doesn’t understand is that all retirement pensions offset spousal benefits and that the GPO law actually cuts her a deal with only the two-thirds offset.

GOLDMAN: Is quitting work too much work?

Hooray! You’ve decided to quit your job. Now all you have to do is march into your manager’s office and let them have it -- the insults you’ve suffered, the unfair criticisms you’ve endured, the total lack of direction, encouragement and -- most of all -- appreciation when you’ve done something right. (Not that you’ve done a lot of things right, but let’s not be picky.)

Yes, it’s your “Take This Job and Shove It” moment. You’re ready, but are you prepared?

Alison Green would say no.

Green, the “Ask A Boss” columnist for New York magazine, recently published “Resignation Checklist: 10 Things to Do Before Quitting.” As your official “Ask A Jerk” columnist, here are 10 comments on her 10 comments. It’s all you need to go all “Brokeback Mountain” and tell your boss, “Guess what! I figured out how to quit you.”

No. 1: Do you know how your company will react?

Some companies want you out the same day your resignation goes in. This could be emotionally draining, especially if you planned to spend those two weeks enjoying farewell celebrations with free food and fulsome speeches about how the department will never the same without you. Also, determine what to expect from your manager. You could be walking into an emotional buzzsaw “if your manager is petty and takes resignations as a personal betrayal.” Which, of course, they are and yours is.

My advice is to tell your manager, “It’s not you; it’s me. You deserve a much better employee who will totally benefit from your genius.” (Note: This goes over better if you don’t giggle.)

No. 2: Take home copies of all your excellent performance reviews.

If you have one, do it. Otherwise, your time is better spent swiping office supplies. You won’t need a carton of printer cartridges or a case of rubber bands, but they do make excellent gifts.

No. 3: Take home contact info for anyone you want to stay in touch with.

You probably don’t have close friends at

purchase affordability,” said Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. “In July, a significant majority of consumers indicated that their jobs are stable and that their incomes are the same or better than they were twelve months ago. However, homebuying sentiment once again matched its all-time low, with only 18% telling us that it’s a good time to buy a home. Unsurprisingly, consumers continue to attribute the challenging conditions to high home prices and unfavorable mortgage rates. Further, the share of consumers expecting home prices to continue to rise has also been on a steady climb since March, which may only add to perceptions of unaffordability. Additionally, we have not seen much movement in the ‘good time to sell’ component over the last few months, an indication that the current low levels of existing homes for sale will likely continue to persist in the near term, as

work, but there could be a few people who dislike you less than others. Make sure you have their email addresses, phone numbers and passwords to their bank accounts. These are the people who will lend you money to buy five-pound boxes of Russell Stover milk chocolate peanut clusters to send to the management team when you start begging to get your job back.

No. 4: Clean out your email. Leave memories, not emails. Management is surely curious over who has been ordering a 20-gallon drum of recycled cooking oil delivered to the HR department every Monday. Your texts should also be erased, especially the ones you’ve exchanged with the CIA.

No. 5: Remove personal files. And while you’re at it, be sure to leave extra food for the family of gerbils you’ve been raising in the bottom drawer of your file cabinet. On your last day, set them free.

No. 6: Check your benefits.

Home Purchase Sentiment Index –Component Highlights

Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) increased in July by 0.8 points to 66.8. The HPSI is up 4.0 points compared to the same time last year. Read the full research report for additional information.

• Good/Bad Time to Buy: The percentage of respondents who say it is a good time to buy a home decreased from 22% to 18%, while the percentage who say it is a bad time to buy increased from 78% to 82%.

Will your health insurance cover your expenses when you’re not working? Will you be paid for the vacation time you accrued but were afraid to ask for? If you don’t like what’s coming when you’re going, do what any mature adult would do: threaten to hold your breath until you turn red. That will open the financial floodgates, guaranteed.

No. 7: Download your pay stubs. You’ll need them for proving to people that a person of your abilities ever had a paying job.

No. 8: Turn in your expense account. Be sure to include the expense of the therapy you’re going to need to manage the PTSD you suffered on the job, plus the cost of the new clothes, new haircut and all the plastic surgery that will be required to get your next job. The company will be happy to pay just to get rid of you if you can be sufficiently obnoxious, and I have faith that you can.

No. 9: Manage your subscriptions.

• Home Price Expectations: The percentage of respondents who say home prices will go up in the next 12 months increased from 36% to 41%, while the percentage who say home prices will go down decreased from 26% to 24%. The share who think home prices will stay the same decreased from 37% to 34%. As a result, the net share of those who say home prices will go up in the next 12 months increased 6 percentage points month over month.

• Mortgage Rate Expectations: The percentage of respondents who say mortgage rates will go down in the next 12 months remained unchanged at 16%, while the percentage who expect mortgage rates to go up decreased from 47% to 45%. The share who think mortgage rates will stay the same increased from 36% to 38%. As a result, the net share of those who say mortgage rates will go down over the next 12 months increased 3 percentage points month over month.

If you get renewals for magazines or newsletters at work, shift them to your home address. You really can’t afford to miss even one issue of Gerbils Digest.

No. 10: Plan what you will say.

Allot 30% for assigning blame, 30% for settling scores and 30% to threaten lawsuits. The remaining 10% is for extemporaneous yelling and screaming, just for the fun of it.

Alison Green recommends that before you resign you determine how you will react when receiving a counteroffer to stay with the company. Follow my advice, and that definitely will not be an issue.

Downer to bumper year: Tax-loss harvesting saves retail investors thousands annually

JOSH DUDICK | WEALTH OF GEEKS

Former Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer has been making headlines after an independent ProPublica investigation revealed he secured over $100 million in tax savings over several years, bending the wash sale rule that limits tax loss harvesting.

Tax-loss harvesting remains a popular tax optimization strategy for high-income earners, especially those deep in equities. Armed with the right harvesting knowhow, regular retail investors can reap the benefits of this tax optimization strategy.

However, this strategy can land taxpayers in hot water when improperly used. Recently, C-suite executives’ excess use of tax skirting has again fallen under media scrutiny.

Ballmer’s broker, Goldman Sachs, has acknowledged the findings and pledged to adjust its trading practices.

Yet well-heeled money managers aren’t the only ones who can turn their losses around. With proper execution following legal guidelines, tax-loss harvesting is a legitimate means to lighten an individual’s tax loads.

Harvesting 101

Simply put, tax-loss harvesting is a strategic financial maneuver used by investors to lighten their tax load at the end of the year.

By pruning their portfolios of a few underperforming stocks, investors can offset the taxable profits realized by other equities, lowering their overall tax bill. For instance, if Ford Motors declines in value, it can be sold to counterbalance the appreciation of Amazon, offsetting the capital gains tax liability linked to Amazon’s performance.

By skillfully implementing taxloss harvesting, investors can unlock substantial savings and increase their take-home investment income over the long term.

“Tax-loss harvesting can be a great strategy during market downturns in non-qualified accounts,” says David Berns, Financial Planner at Truadvice Wealth Management. “Take 2022… markets were down around 20%, and we were able to harvest losses for our clients and carry forward those losses indefinitely.”

Another advantage of doing tax-loss harvesting is you can use $3,000 against your ordinary income taxes each year,” Berns adds.

Academic studies referenced by the Financial Times show harvesting can add 1-2% per year in after-tax returns to a diversified equity portfolio and even boost bond portfolios.

“Harvesting does play a big role in optimizing a client’s portfolio,” says Angela Dorsey, Founder and Financial Planner of Dorsey Wealth Management. “During 2022, there were great opportunities to do tax loss-harvesting that we haven’t had in years.”

Yet other advisors debate whether the strategy is worth it for all investors, hastening to add it may pull focus away from bigger goals.

“Harvesting works, but for the mass affluent, it shouldn’t be the primary strategy,” says Freeman Linde, CFP and Tax Planner at La Crosse Financial Planning. “Far too often, we get seduced by ‘saving taxes’ and forget that paying taxes means we made money. Minimizing taxes is not the goal – maximizing after-tax returns is the goal. Harvesting is a factor but not the primary driver of long-term returns.”

All Washed Up Investors must stay within the bounds of the game. The limits of loss harvesting are clearly defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS ).

The rules against wash sales have been in place since 1921. The aim is to ensure investors really do sell their loss-making stocks. The restrictions prevent investors from simply selling one lot of stocks and replacing them with the same or nearly identical equities within 30 days.

For instance, if an investor buys 100 shares of Nexchange-traded fundslix and then sells them within 30 days, then buys back 100 Nexchange-traded fundslix shares within 30 days, the transaction would be considered a wash sale.

In Balmer’s case, he sold shares in the dual-listed mining giants Shell and BHP, but on the same day bought back the exact amounts of the other class of the companies’ shares. His huge deduction, therefore, was based on simply swapping out one class of the companies’ stock for another.

Berns says investors must take care not to violate the regulation. “To avoid this IRS rule, we buy a like-kind security to keep their (clients) assets invested,” he says.

“In order to avoid wash sale rule

violations, it is key to avoid selling and then buying a similar investment within 30 days,” says Dorsey. “To be safe, it is best to buy an investment that tracks different indexes. For example, IVV and SPY could be considered similar,” she adds, referring to two of the best exchange-traded funds for broad market exposure.

Other advisors see most similarly allocated exchange-traded funds as safe for repurchasing plays.

“The IRS generally grants a healthy leeway with regard to exchange-traded funds and the wash sale rule,” says Jonathan Bird, wealth advisor at Farnam Financial. “I can say in my ten years in financial services, I’ve never seen the IRS disallow a tax-loss harvest because two

exchange-traded funds that an investor traded were so similar as to trigger a wash sale.”

While loss harvesting can put a dent in an investor’s overall tax bill, it is not the only measure individuals can use to knock some numbers off the end of their tax bill.

Leveraging tax credits, contributing to retirement funds, claiming deductions, and optimizing income tax bracket filings all form a well-rounded tax strategy. Those with exceptional circumstances may require a personalized tax strategy through a tax accountant or financial advisor.
