Stocks are trading higher after the december employment report this morning showed the economy added 148,000 jobs last month. The employment rate remained unchanged at 4. 1 . Cbs news financial contributor Mellody Hobson is in chicago. What a start to the new year. Whats fueling this growth . Wow, thats all i can say, its quite a start. Weve broken through lots and lots of records last year. Started this year off strong. And a lot of it has to do with the fact that corporate profits have been strong. Should only get better because of the recent tax cut that congress has delivered to them. Unemployment is really low. The economy, not just in america, but around the world, is really strong. And not to mention the fact that some of these deregulation efforts will push a lot of industries to have make it easier for them to do business. So theres a lot conspiring to push the stock market up. Yet im looking at the front page of the wall street journal and they point out though despite this surge small investors have continued to yank their money out of funds that own u. S. Stocks. Why . Because their are suffering from what i call post Traumatic Stress disorder from the financial crisis. Small investors are mostly sat on the sidelines because the financial crisis really scared them. And so as a result of that, they have missed a lot of this run in terms of direct ownership of stocks. But they indirectly own stock through their retirement accounts like their 401k plans and pensions that theyve had so a lot of workers have still benefitted. Mellody what about average americans who dont own stocks and look for increases in things like wages . Those have only risen less than 3 in the last year. How do you explain that discrepan discrepancy . Wage growth has been very slow, very low and this is something thats confounded a lot of economists. A lot of it has to do with the fact that, again, coming out of the financial crisis, unemployment surged and people literally gave up looking for a job. They said im done. As the economy started to come back, these people are entering the workforce. Theyre willing to work for less. But now we have 18 states that have raised unemployment as of the first of this year. We have 13 states that have 40year lows in unemployment. So in order to hire people, theyre going to have to pay them more. So i expect wage growth to really start to happen. Ive been saying that for a while. But i really do think this is it. Could also be a correction on the horizon somewhere down the line. No one knows. I mean this is the thing. I love the saying that bull markets do not die of old age. That is not what happens. Its something else. Everyones pointing to the fact that this is the second longest bull market in stock market history. And if we go another ten months, it will be the longest. But who knows. I would not time the market here. Mellody hobson, thanks for that. Investors are backing away from marijuanarelated stocks.
