AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY
The monthly jobs report gets all the headlines, but a more obscure government release may provide a more transparent window into the labor market. The Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) digs beneath the job growth and unemployment figures to reveal employer demand and employee movements. Average monthly payroll gains have slowed this year — to 180,000 from 229,000 in 2015 — a development most economists trace to a low jobless rate that’s providing employers with fewer available workers. But in August and September, job openings totaled about 5.5 million after hitting a record 5.8
Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:
million in July, according to JOLTS, suggesting that employer demand may have cooled recently. Some economists and staffing firms say that may have stemmed, at least partly, from uncertainty tied to the presidential election. In October, employers added just 142,000 jobs, according to revisions the Labor Department released Friday. The latest JOLTS report for that month, out Wednesday, will show whether openings were sluggish third 5-day avg.: for a0.17 month or bounced other 6-monthback. avg.: In 6.51 words, wereLargest the scant job gains holding: AAPLa problem? C supply or demand Most bought: On the bright side, workers Most sold: SCTY have leverage in a tight market. In September, 3.1 million of them quit jobs, close to a 15-year high. That shows most had another gig lined up or were confident they could get one. The October JOLTS survey will reveal if that dynamic persisted as well.

Michael Phelps takes the plunge — into tech investing Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY
The most decorated Olympian is trying his hands at a new venture: tech investing. Michael Phelps, winner of 28 Olympic medals, is looking to join the long list of successful athletes turned investors. At the Intuit software conference in San Jose, Phelps expressed his interest to The Associated Press. “I would love to get involved,” Phelps told the AP. “Whether it’s
in a couple little start-ups here and there, take a little risk, have some fun and see where it goes.” Like other athletes, Phelps has created quite a brand for himself, having struck sponsorship deals with AT&T, Visa, Under Armour, Subway and Wheaties, among others. He most recently has been featured in ads from computer chip giant Intel, alongside Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons as well as promotions for the latest Call of Duty video game from Activision. For Phelps, investing in tech
opens up a potential new source of revenue beyond endorsements following his retirement from competitive swimming after GETTY IMAGES the Rio games FOR ACTIVISION this summer. Michael Phelps Tech has become one of the new avenues for sports figures to invest. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, also recently retired, announced in August he
was creating a $100 million venture capital fund looking to invest in technology, media and data-focused companies. Fellow NBA stars Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James have have made investments, with Anthony creating his own tech fund in April called Melo 7 Tech Partners and James a notable investor in Beats by Dre headphones. An early investor in Beats, James reportedly pocketed $30 million following the headphone maker’s $3 billion sale to Apple in 2014. Not every start-up has been a success story, however. Former
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said in 2012 that he lost $50 million in his failed video game venture called 38 Studios. But for a seemingly increasing number of athletes, tech has greater appeal than investing in cars, houses, clothes or friends. With hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars coming to athletes at young ages, that money has to go somewhere. For Phelps and others, it now appears that place is in tech. “I am getting my feet wet,” Phelps told the AP. “2017 will be a big year.”
