Stephen Levy Quotations

We ... believe this removes the potential for one of the most important sources of significant upside to our revenue projections, which is the key factor in our investment recommendation.

I don't remember hearing a single major business group complaining about today's actions.

What you really have to do is average the two months together. And when you do that, you come up with an average growth of around 15,000 jobs per month, which is slower than normal. I didn't expect it to be this low in August and September.

I think that growth will continue, although more slowly. The first couple years are always a bounce-back. Perhaps the gains will be moderated.

We need about 20,000 to 25,000 jobs a month to keep pace with labor force growth, and we've been there recently.

The overall trend is that companies can do very well, without it spilling over into job growth. I think 'modest' is the correct word.

What the governor has done is make it OK to talk about investing for our future. Whether you agree with the details, there's now a bipartisan discussion about our future needs - that's huge.

Production is up, sales are up, and all that can exist without job growth.

This is not a strong period in our economy or the national economy, but unlike a decade ago, we're not doing worse.

It's just false that we're in some sort of economic catastrophe.

The job numbers are a bit of surprise now, although I suspect some slowing in the economy soon.
