Unemployment Claims Hit 52-Year Low
BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The U.S. economy keeps beating the pandemic and even geopolitical crises.
The government reported this week that jobless benefits hit a 52-year low.
“That’s 52 years, not 52 weeks,” said Mitch Gould, Founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International, a global brand management firm based in Boca Raton, FL. “The media reported that Americans filing new unemployment benefits fell in early March to a low not seen in more than half-century.
“The Labor Department’s numbers show strong demand for jobs, which will probably result in another month of job growth,” Gould added. “The government also reported an increase in manufacturing production in February with a strong upswing in homebuilding.”
Unemployment claims decreased by 15,000 in the second week of March to a seasonally adjusted 214,000. Two years ago in April, claims climbed to a record high of 6.149 million,
“Good economic news is good for business,” Gould said. “At NPI, we work with domestic and international health and wellness brands that want to launch new products in the U.S. consumer market.
“When these companies see strong job growth they believe it will translate into strong consumer spending,” Gould said.
To make product launches run as smoothly as possible, Gould developed his “Evolution of Distribution” platform, which is a one-stop, turnkey operation that provides manufacturers with all the services they need to sell their brands in the U.S.
“We provide a sales team, logistical support, FDA regulatory compliance guidance, and a marketing agency to our clients,” Gould said. “We emphasize speed to market and affordability.”
Gould, who during more than three decades in the retail profession, has sold top brands to all the major retailers, including Walmart, Amazon, GNC, Vitamin World, Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, K-Mart, 7-11, CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens.
“Our president, Jeff Fernandez, was part of the Amazon team in the early 2000s that established the health and wellness category for the online giant,” Gould said. “We also are veteran participants at annual ECRM events which allows us to promote our clients’ products to buyers from large and small retail chains in the U.S.
“Our competitive advantage is our experience and knowledge of product launches,” he said.
