Nestlé price rises push sales growth to highest level in 14 yearsWorld’s largest food manufacturer ups its forecasts after price increases of 7.5% this yearNestlé increased its prices by 7.5 per cent in the first nine months of this year, the biggest amount in decades, enabling the world’s largest food manufacturer to raise its forecasts for the year.The maker of Maggi noodles, Kit Kats and Nespresso capsules said it expected full-year sales growth of 8 per cent, the higher end of the range it had previously signalled.The Nestlé price rises are the latest sign of intense pressure on food costs. Official UK data published on Wednesday reported that food prices rose 14.6 per cent in the year to September.Nestlé’s like-for-like net sales growth reached 8.5 per cent in the first nine months, its highest rate in 14 years. Real internal growth — a measure of sales volumes and the types of products consumers choose — was 1 per cent. Total sales for the period were SFr69.1bn ($68.8bn).The price increases were the largest in “several decades” for the Swiss group, said Bernstein analyst Bruno Monteyne.But Nestlé chief executive Mark Schneider warned of further rises to come. “Our pricing is still catching up with the hit we have taken from inflation,” he said.While inflation in agricultural commodity prices had eased somewhat, it still remained far higher than last year and energy and labour costs were likely to increase throughout the winter, he added.“Many countries operate on annual [labour] contract negotiations, so I would expect to see those negotiations in the winter and first part of 2023 to reflect the inflation that every household has felt,” he said.Sales growth was propelled by pet food, with households buying Nestlé’s Purina brand for their dogs and cats despite the squeeze on their budgets.However, increases in sales volumes stalled in the third quarter, with analysts estimating that real internal growth had fallen 0.2 per cent during the quarter. Sales of Nespresso capsules declined as people drank less coffee at home with the lifting of coronavirus restrictions.Schneider said pressure on consumer wallets was coinciding with a return to more normal shopping patterns.“It’s important not to over-interpret the current situation as a reaction to pricing alone — some of it is post-Covid normalisation,” he added.James Edwardes Jones, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, said: “If, as we expect, there is a consumer recession to come, Nestlé is coping admirably.” But he noted that sales of water, prepared foods and confectionery had also slowed in the third quarter. “Even Nestlé, it could be argued, is starting to show early signs of tougher conditions,” he added.As national regulators warn about the possibility of winter blackouts, Schneider said Nestlé would cut the company’s use of Christmas lights as part of an energy-saving drive. The company would issue guidelines to its sites on “lighting, heating and holiday decorations”, he added.Shares in Nestlé were down almost 1 per cent on Wednesday afternoon.The group also announced that it would buy the Seattle’s Best Coffee brand in the US from Starbucks for an undisclosed price.

MBA: Mortgage Applications Decrease in Latest Weekly Survey; Lowest Level Since 1997Mortgage applications decreased 4.5 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending October 14, 2022.... The Refinance Index decreased 7 percent from the previous week and was 86 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 4 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 3 percent compared with the previous week and was 38 percent lower than the same week one year ago.“Mortgage applications are now into their fourth month of declines, dropping to the lowest level since 1997, as the 30-year fixed mortgage rate hit 6.94 percent – the highest level since 2002,” said Joel Kan, MBA’s Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist. “The speed and level to which rates have climbed this year have greatly reduced refinance activity and exacerbated existing affordability challenges in the purchase market. Residential housing activity ranging from new housing starts to home sales have been on downward trends coinciding with the rise in rates. The current 30-year fixed rate is now well over three percentage points higher than a year ago, and both purchase and refinance applications were down 38 percent and 86 percent over the year, respectively.”(...)
The US Just Lost 26 Years' Worth of Progress On Life ExpectancyPosted by BeauHD on Tuesday October 18, 2022 @11:30PM from the trending-in-the-wrong-direction dept.An anonymous reader quotes a report from Scientific American:CitarWith a few notable exceptions -- such as during the 1918 influenza pandemic, World War II and the HIV crisis -- life expectancy in the U.S. has had gradual upward trajectory over the past century. But that progress has steeply reversed in the past two years as COVID and other tragedies have cut millions of lives short. U.S. life expectancy fell by a total of 2.7 years (PDF) between 2019 and 2021 to 76.1 years -- the lowest it has been since 1996, according to provisional data recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The drop was 3.1 years for male individuals and 2.3 years for female ones. Non-Hispanic Native American and Alaska Native peoples saw the biggest decline -- a staggering 6.6 years. But every racial and ethnic group suffered: life expectancy decreased by 4.2 years in the Hispanic population, by four years in the non-Hispanic Black population, by 2.4 years in the non-Hispanic white population and by 2.1 years in the non-Hispanic Asian population."Basically, all the gains between 1996 and 2019 are as if they never happened," says Elizabeth Arias, director of the U.S. life table program at the NCHS and co-author of a report on the new data. COVID deaths drove much of the decline as the country grappled with the world's worst pandemic in a century. But unintentional injuries -- largely driven by drug overdoses -- also played a significant role, the data show. Increases in deaths from heart disease, chronic liver disease and suicide also contributed. "This isn't supposed to happen," says Philip Cohen, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, who studies demographic trends and inequality. "I think it's a wake-up call for us ... that we can't put public health on autopilot; that we don't have this invisible hand of development just raising living standards over time." The drop in life expectancy would have been even more stark if it had not been partially offset by declines in influenza and pneumonia deaths, which were likely reduced by pandemic-related precautions such as masking and social distancing.

Málaga no encuentra camareros, comerciales y transportistas pese ser los puestos más demandadosEl IMFE califica como una "amenaza" la falta de demanda de empleados con estudios universitarios -El perfil más frecuente de demandante de empleo es una mujer de 45 años sin formación o con estudios secundariosAna I. Montañez Málaga | 19·10·22 https://www.laopiniondemalaga.es/malaga/2022/10/19/empleo-malaga-encuentra-camareros-comerciales-transportistas-77438374.htmlMálaga no encuentra camareros, comerciales ni transportistas. Son los perfiles especializados que con más dificultad se cubren en la capital, pese a que la actividad económica se apuntala prácticamente sobre el sector terciario.Es una de las conclusiones que se extraen de un informe sobre la situación laboral de la capital malagueña desarrollado por el IMFE, el Instituto Municipal para la Formación y el Empleo del Ayuntamiento de Málaga, a través de encuestas realizadas a los demandantes de empleo y empresas inscritas en su Agencia de Colocación.Esa falta de perfiles especializados en la hostelería, la venta al público y la logística contrasta, por un lado, con las búsquedas de los demandantes de empleo registrados en esta entidad municipal, que no necesariamente están en paro, ya que pueden tener un trabajo y aspirar a medrar profesionalmente en otro puesto que le ofrezca mejores condiciones.Pues bien, la Agencia de Colocación del IMFE detecta que los empleos más solicitados por los usuarios están relacionados con los servicios, el comercio/consumo y la hostelería, que coinciden con los empleos que más cuesta cubrir en Málaga.Nivel de estudiosPara entender esta paradoja, conviene observar el nivel de estudios de los encuestados, universitarios en su mayoría (42%), seguidos de los titulados en Formación Profesional (27%) y Bachillerato/ESO (12%). En menor medida, hay usuarios que cuentan solo con estudios Primarios (5%) o con un certificado de profesionalidad (2%).A esto se añade lo que las empresas consultadas (el 31% pertenecientes al sector servicios y el 10% a la hostelería) señalan como principales problemas a la hora de cubrir una vacante: que los candidatos cuentan con poca experiencia (54%), que no tienen la formación necesaria (43%) o que carecen de habilidades técnicas adaptadas al trabajo (33%). Esto puede reflejar que o bien existe una sobrecualificación de los aspirantes o que esa formación no casa con el puesto para el que se presentan.De hecho, los propios demandantes encuestados opinan que la formación más demandada para los puestos que buscan no es la universitaria ni superior, sino la Formación Profesional así como contar con las habilidades técnicas específicas para desenvolverse en un puesto concreto.Baja demanda de empleadosEsta baja demanda de empleados con estudios universitarios se califica como una de las "amenazas" detectadas en el análisis del IMFE sobre el mercado laboral de Málaga, a lo que se le suma el riesgo de una "fuga de cerebros" en la capital, al tener una "formación avanzada" que les empuja a buscar mejores oportunidades.No obstante, frente a esta situación se detecta como una "oportunidad" el aumento de las empresas tecnológicas que se instalan en Málaga, así como el tirón del Parque Tenológico, factores "cruciales" en el desarrollo económico de la ciudad.Para ello, el concejal de Educación, Juventud y Fomento del Empleo, Luis Verde, destaca el "apoyo decidido a las ramas tecnológicas e intentar que los grandes agentes de formación nacional e internacional tengan su espacio en Málaga". Este boom tech, añade Verde, supone también la llegada de teletrabajadores extranjeros que eligen la ciudad para asentarse.Condiciones laboralesPor otro lado, las condiciones laborales en estos sectores son también un importante factor disuasor entre la población, especialmente la joven, a la hora de optar un puesto de trabajo."Mahos (hostelería) y Aehcos (hoteles) nos comentaban que una vez finalizada la pandemia, hay muchas personas que no quieren volver al turno partido o buscar la jornada continua, por ejemplo", responde Luis Verde, a preguntas de la prensa. "El sector de la construcción está muy falto. Tras el parón de la pandemia,la ingente cantidad de obra pública y privada hace que falte mano de obra cualificada. Para acceder a esos trabajos, tiene que existir una formación".Verde insiste, asimismo, en la falta de operadores logísticos, en un momento de auge del comercio electrónico (e-commerce en Málaga). "Hay una carencia de conductores de transporte brutal para dar cobertura a la basta demanda que existe".¿Cuál es el perfil del demandante de empleo?Según este estudio del IMFE, el perfil del demandante de empleo en la ciudad, es una mujer mayor de 45 años que no tiene formación o tiene estudios secundarios, en paro de larga duración y que busca empleo en el sector servicios, el comercio y la hostelería. Asimismo, tampoco busca ser emprendedora.De hecho, el 50% de los encuestados en paro tienen más de 45 años, donde se detecta una mayor necesidad de formación específica. En cuanto a los trabajos a tiempo parcial, están concentrados mayoritariamente en las mujeres (57%).Sobre los jóvenes, el 80% asegura que se ha formado recientemente y el 30% manifiesta su interés por emprender su propio negocio.
