How coastal businesses fared during the Super Bowl
SUMMARY: Super Bowl 59 significantly boosted coastal businesses, particularly local stores and restaurants. Gulf Coast Cards and Sports experienced a surge in shoppers, with customers waiting to enter, leading to robust sales of jerseys, hats, and other merchandise. Manager Shan Mahmood noted their stock dwindled to just a few items post-game, with Eagles gear being the top seller. Similarly, Kelly’s Sports Pub in Gulfport reported packed tables and bar areas during the game, with sales tripling compared to a standard football Sunday, reflecting the Super Bowl’s positive impact on local commerce.

SUMMARY: In January, the U.S. added 143,000 jobs, below the predicted 169,000, but the unemployment rate fell to 4%, better than expected. The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised previous months’ payrolls upward by 100,000 and lowered 2024 job growth estimates to 166,000 per month. Hiring rates are slowing, but the job market remains stable with positive executive sentiments regarding potential business improvements from tax cuts and deregulation. However, concerns about trade tariffs may impact economic growth, potentially leading to a GDP contraction of 1.5%. Despite challenges, overall employment indicators remain strong with low unemployment rates.
