L.A. County Unemployment Higher
Monday, March 12,2018 L.A. County Unemployment Edges Higher. L.A. County’s unemployment rate edged back up to 4.5 percent in January from 4.4 percent in December as local employers shed holiday season workers, state figures released March 7 show.
The January unemployment rate returned to the level of last November as roughly 17,000 people joined the ranks of the unemployed, bringing the total to 231,000. The labor force also grew by 20,000 to about 5.15 million.
For the first time in nearly a year, the local unemployment rate was a notch higher than the statewide average of 4.4 percent; it was also higher than the national rate of 4.1 percent.
Contributing to the rise in the unemployment rate was a substantial, but seasonal, drop in nonfarm payroll employment. According to the state Employment Development Department figures, employers cut 77,000 workers from their payrolls in January for a new total of 4.44 million.
Leading the way was a drop of 15,000 workers in the retail sector as the holiday season ended. Among the other sectors reporting job losses: Motion picture/sound recording (down 11,500) and administrative/support services (down 10,000).
Only one sector – construction – eked out a slight gain of 400 jobs between December and January. – By Howard Fine

Presidents Day 2018
The third Monday in February is Presidents’ Day. Washington’s Birthday was a United States federal holiday.
This holiday, celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, our first President of the United States. Now, this day is known as Presidents Day, and is often an occasion to remember all the U.S. presidents, not just George Washington’s actual birthday, February 22 or Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is February 12th. The term “Presidents’ Day” used to change the holiday into a day honoring multiple American presidents.
Recently, the February holiday is a day in which many retail stores, especially furniture stores and car dealerships, hold discount sales. Until the late 1980s, banks and corporate businesses closed on this day, similar to present corporate and bank practices on Memorial Day or Christmas Day. With the late 1980s advertising push to rename the holiday, more retail businesses are staying open during the holiday each year, and, as on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day. Many colleges and universities hold regular classes and operations on Presidents’ Day. Most U.S. Postal Service delivery services offer regular service on the day.
Happy Presidents’ Day
Kinetic Die Casting Company will be open on this day for regular hours to serve our customers. We are currently shipping our new production part purchase orders in 4 weeks. We are thankful to our customers for their production parts they purchase from us.

Groundhog Day 2018 This Week
Today is Monday the first working day of the week. Friday this week is February 2nd, and is celebrated as a fun way to predict weather. This day is celebrated each year on February 2nd. Groundhog Day was a traditional day used to forecast the remaining winter weather.
Happy Groundhog Day 2018
According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks. This fun tradition does not accurately predict the weather, but fun, all the same.
Our customers, all of them manufacturers, are on the leading edge of any change in our American economy. Most of our customers are preparing for growth rather than recession in 2018.

Aluminum Bracket Diecastings
Brackets are used for mounting electronic devices. Electronic devices are usually fragile and need a single fall before being permanently damaged like aluminum guitar amplifiers. Another problem is that many of these items are usually mounted onto walls to save space and to increase their output. A good method to solve this problem is by simply putting these items on top of other surfaces. However, this reduces the quality of their output. The best solution is to purchase aluminum brackets to safely secure the electronic items on the wall.
Aluminum brackets are L-shaped pieces of metal that are used in pairs to make a surface for mounting electronics. These are oftentimes used in mounting speakers and other sound related electronics. The more recent application for this item is the mounting of computer monitors and flat screen televisions onto the wall. The variety of brackets that are used for this purpose have a swivel feature which allows the user to adjust the screen.
When purchasing aluminum brackets, it is important to first determine the product on which the bracket would be used on. This would dictate the type of bracket that could be used, the weight carrying capacity of the bracket, and the features that could be present in the bracket. Although this may seem as a hindrance for most people, it actually is not. Brackets are usually labelled with the products that they are compatible with so that customers do not have to bring their electronic items along with them. Also, brackets may come with the package of the electronic item being purchased making it redundant to purchase brackets in the first place.
