The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of June 4th, 2012
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
U.S. economic data were mixed, but mostly on the soft side of expectations. The May Employment Report disappointed. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 69,000 (vs. a median forecast of +150,000), while figures for March and April were revised a net 42,000 lower. Private-sector payrolls rose by 82,000 (+800,000 before seasonal adjustment) – a +180,000 average over the last six months and a +165,000 average over the last 12 months.
The government continued to shed jobs. The unemployment rate edged up to 8.2% (from 8.1%), due largely to a pickup in labor force participation (likely noise, although at some point, individuals will return to the labor force when they become more encouraged about job prospects). [Read more]

The Wedding Singer at the Roxy Regional Theatre is a Real Blast from the Past
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre is currently staging their production of the smash hit musical The Wedding Singer which takes viewers on a flashback to the 1980s, complete with the big hair, corny clothes, and some amazing music.
In the show, we are back in 1985 with rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart (Josh Bernaski), New Jersey’s favorite wedding Singer. He is the life of every party, until his fiancée Linda (Sara Fetgatter) ditches him at the altar. He is “Shot through the heart” to paraphrase Bon Jovi, after which in his grief Robbie makes every wedding he sings at as disastrous as his own.
