Oklahomas jobless rate dropped to 6.1 percent in January, according to reports Tuesday from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.

The number was down from a revised 6.3 percent in December. In January 2011, Oklahomas jobless rate was 6.2 percent.

The rate hovered just above 6 percent for most of last year with the exception of March through May, when it stood at 5.9 percent, according to revised data. A smaller survey for January taken among households shows that total employment, which includes self-employed people and farm jobs, grew while the number of unemployed dropped. Unemployment declined, employment is increasing. That is exactly what you want to see, said

Lynn Gray, the OESCs chief economist. Were not quite there yet, but we are very close to the employment high pre-recession on the household survey. In March 2008 not long after the recession started the state had total employment of 1,676,833, which is about 1,000 more than Oklahoma recorded for January 2012. However, back in March 2008, the states jobless rate stood

AMR risks cash drain as contract talks slow

The company has signaled it may soon ask to impose new terms.
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
American Airlines push for $1.25 billion in labor savings is bogging down, possibly imperiling its turnaround bid, as the union strife that preceded parent AMR Corp.s bankruptcy spills into a new round of talks. A failure to win negotiated concessions would force AMR to ask a bankruptcy judge to let the company impose new contract terms, adding legal steps to the process and delaying implementation of changes the airline has said it needs to stem losses. That would erode AMRs $4.1 billion in cash and short-term investments on hand as of Feb. 29, the same total as three months earlier when the company led for Chapter 11 protection. The hoard, a record for a U.S. airline entering bankruptcy, has bolstered Americans goal of fending o any suitors and remaining an independent carrier. Cash is limited, Vicki Bryan, a senior bond analyst at New Yorkbased Gimme Credit LLC, said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Its going to only get worse the longer the beast is bleeding. That hemorrhaging is going to cost money. Labor makes up the bulk of Americans plan for $2 billion in cost reductions. AMR recently o ered to freeze pensions rather than eliminate

The Tulsa-based company says it plans to hire 60 people locally this year, and along with the expansion it will move its corporate headquarters downtown. The new jobs will bring ORS Nascos employment in Tulsa to about 175. President Larry Davis said the company, which has about 550 employees nationwide, is adding personnel quickly as it takes on about 100 new workers across the country this year.

With the massive amount of Android-based smartphones and tablets out there, its easy to get into the habit of just paying attention to a few top-of-the-line devices REVIEW and ignoring the rest. And although its true that there are far too many dud models, you can nd some surprisingly decent devices in the lower price ranges if youre willing to look. Cases in point the Pantech Element tablet and Pantech Burst smartphone. AT&T is running a deal that gets you the Burst for free when you pick up the Element for $250, so I thought Id look at them both.

This smartphone runs a lightly modied version of Android 3.2, aka Gingerbread. Im fairly neutral on the aesthetic Pantech applied to Android, but Im a fan of the lock screen. Youll be gliding a circle to a center target as in many other phones, but you can choose from several di erent circles that take you to specic functions like the Web, email, phone or camera, which is surprisingly handy.

Although the phone is relatively inexpensive, Pantech didnt skimp on the processor. Nearly everything ran quite smoothly, with only the most complex websites making things a little choppy. Thats a great surprise for a bargain phone. Unfortunately, the photo function was infuriating. The individual pictures are ne with good light levels, but the camera refuses to focus until after youve hit the button, leaving you with a full threeto-four-second delay before cents per share. Thats what really made the day, said Je rey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. JPMorgan Chase stock soared 7 percent, and other banks followed. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs gained 6 percent. Banks were easily the best-performing stocks in the market, gaining almost 4 percent as a group. The Fed had planned to release the results of its socalled stress test for 19 nancial institutions Thursday. But after JPMorgan Chase made its announcement and said it was raising the dividend

it actually takes the picture. Lets move on to the 8-inch Element tablet. Though inexpensive, it has a rugged, waterproof design. Other than the plastic aps that cover the various ports when not in use, its easy to forget its tough nature the Element is relatively light, has easily accessible control buttons and o ers surprisingly good sound quality. The device runs on a version of Android 3.0, aka Honeycomb, the rst revision to truly take advantage of additional tablet real estate. Unfortunately, Honeycomb is really starting to feel dated compared to Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, or the iPad. If youve tried either of those, using Element feels like several steps back. Still, like the Burst, the Element runs what it has well, with the Feds blessing the Fed pulled a surprise. The central bank released its stress test results two days ahead of schedule, a halfhour after the markets closed Tuesday. JPMorgan Chase and 14 other nancial institutions passed. Four, including Citigroup, failed. The Dow nished at 13,177.68, its highest close since Dec. 31, 2007. The close put the Dow within 1,000 points of its record, 14,164.53, set less than three months earlier. All 30 stocks in the Dow closed higher, the rst time that has happened this year.

with only occasional and minor instances of choppiness. The camera is a lot more sensible, too; it focuses before taking a picture nearinstantaneously after hitting the button. Yet the Element has its own problem, namely subpar video playback. Even movie trailers specically uploaded to YouTube in high denition played back with large squares of garble all over the place. Even with their aws, the Element and Burst are still much better than most other bargain-basement devices Ive seen. Sure, they cant touch the more expensive products, but if youre budget-minded, theyre not bad alternatives.

news driving the market higher Tuesday: Retail sales in February increased the most since September, and the Federal Reserve said it expected the unemployment rate to keep falling. Then the market soared in the nal hour after JPMorgan Chase, the countrys largest bank by assets, announced that it plans to buy back as much as $15 billion of its stock and raise its quarterly dividend by a nickel to 30

drinks, anything you could use on the job site, Davis said. The company, a subsidiary of United Stationers Inc. of Deereld, Ill., has 19 distribution centers nationwide, including one in Muskogee. ORS Nasco also helps create marketing materials for its supplier customers, including websites and catalogs. A lot of the things that we sell you can nd at Home

Depot or Amazon.com, but were more convenient and can sell at a better price, Davis said. The company is among a handful of tool sellers that have major operations in Tulsa, including Fastenal and Hilti. With the move downtown, ORS Nasco will keep its current 20,000-squarefoot headquarters at the TechRidge o ce park near 41st Street and Mingo Road. Training and direct sales employees will be located there. Corporate and administrative functions will move

downtown to the 907 Detroit building, formerly the Sunoco Building, where ORS Nasco will occupy one 40,000-square-foot oor. Davis said a downtown presence will help attract a larger base of younger professional employees to help head its corporate operations and train in sales. ORS Nasco moved to Tulsa in 1999 when its parent company bought Oklahoma Rig and Supply in Muskogee and decided to base the new division in Tulsa.

them, a move aimed at getting union talks moving. The airlines unions, meanwhile, have asked that federal mediators join the contract talks with management. American also has been sued by its pilots. AMR has said it is not looking to cut worker pay, but wants changes in work rules and other concessions. The airline plans to trim 13,000 jobs, including 2,100 mechanics who work at its Tulsa maintenance base. Several hundred other positions in Tulsa also could be cut, ofcials have said. The prospect of a new labormanagement stando echoes the ve years of failed contract talks at the third-largest U.S. airline before AMR entered bankruptcy. The Fort Worth-based company ended 2011 with its fourth straight annual loss, pushing the cumulative decit over that span to more than $6 billion. While AMR hasnt said when it will ask U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in New York for the power to dictate contract terms, it has signaled that such a step is near and noted that losses persist. Bankruptcy law requires a good-faith e ort to negotiate concessions rst. It is vital that we reach consen-

sual agreements very soon with all of our unions, Bruce Hicks, a spokesman for American, said in a statement. We are still a long way from that point and cant a ord to continue at this extremely slow pace. American must acknowledge that its term sheet is not written in stone, but can and must be molded and transformed for creative and mutually benecial solutions, Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, told members in a hotline message. The Transport Workers Union, which represents mechanics and bag handlers, said after the arbitration request was submitted that all e orts for direct negotiations had been exhausted. While protracted legal wrangling with unions may deter possible suitors because of questions about future costs, jettisoning contracts over labors objections also may add to the risk of a takeover, Je Straebler, an independent airline analyst in Stamford, Conn., told Bloomberg. Thats because Americans three major unions and insurer Pension Benet Guaranty Corp. hold four of nine seats on AMRs unsecuredcreditors committee, Straebler said. A potential acquirer could o er a deal that would secure those votes and would only need one more to have a majority of the panel, Strae-

bler said. US Airways Group Inc. has said its weighing a possible AMR merger, and TPG Capital and Delta Air Lines Inc. also are evaluating bids. US Airways President Scott Kirby said Tuesday that building support among bankruptcy constituents, particularly labor, was among the lessons learned from the carriers failed 2006 hostile takeover bid for Delta. Kirby, speaking at the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Aviation, Transportation & Defense Conference, declined to comment on AMR. Even going to court to throw out labor contracts takes time. Once such a request is made, a hearing must begin within 21 days and the judge must rule within 30 days. Talks could be held during the interval and lead to an agreement before a judicial order. American and its unions just have such a long, bad history that it may end up being the judge will have to make unilateral decisions on what ends up being the new contracts, said Michael Derchin, a CRT Capital Group LLC analyst in Stamford, Conn. Its unfortunate from a labor standpoint. The airline has blamed its bankruptcy ling in part on annual labor costs that are about $800 million more than those of its largest rivals, United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta. With the latest negotiations sty-

mied, American stepped back on March 7 from a demand to terminate its underfunded pensions, saying it would freeze plans for employees other than pilots. A day later, the Allied Pilots Association, TWU and the ight attendants union asked the National Mediation Board to intervene and send the airlines job-cut plan to binding arbitration. Neutral examiners would study positions on both sides and craft solutions. What theyre asking for is pretty extraordinary, said Richard L. Wyatt, a partner at Hunton & Williams in Washington, D.C., who has represented major airlines in collective bargaining disputes. The NMB doesnt have that power. American is, for better or worse, under supervision of the bankruptcy court. I cant imagine theyd agree to this and basically take it out of court oversight. The mediation board asked American to respond to the arbitration request by the close of business March 19, according to the airline, which said it will focus in the meantime on reaching agreements with its unions. Bargaining a consensual agreement may not prove to be possible, APA President David Bates told members last week. The TWU reacted to the pension freeze by calling it a major move forward while saying the union still needs con-

sensual agreements with all TWUrepresented work groups. Uniteds former parent, UAL Corp., secured union agreements to help cut spending by $4 billion, including eliminating almost 24,000 jobs, before leaving Chapter 11 in 2006. Delta got rid of 6,000 jobs in bankruptcy. The former Northwest Airlines chopped its work force by 22 percent while in court protection and imposed new contract terms on attendants after bargaining failed. A year later, the attendants union was still demanding that then-CEO Doug Steenland resign. The history of airlines in bankruptcy has been one of judges plunging ahead and the union and workers be damned, said Ray Abernathy, a spokesman for American attendants in their 1993 strike who now leads a Washington-based labor communications rm. Thats happened over and over again. I dont see anything here that would change that. Labor memories also run deep at American, where unions agreed to $1.6 billion in givebacks in 2003 amid an earlier bankruptcy threat. CEO Tom Hortons predecessor, Gerard Arpey, stirred hopes of management goodwill that year when he took the job after those givebacks.

JOBS
FROM E1

at 3.3 percent, and the number of unemployed people was half of Januarys level. In one respect, were certainly improving, and we have nearly as many people working as we had nearly four years ago, but certainly the labor market isnt as healthy as it was four years ago, Gray said.

A larger survey taken among business establishments shows that Oklahomas nonfarm employment in January was down substantially from the high of 1,595,300 reached in 2008. In January, the state added 4,700 nonfarm jobs, bringing the number to 1,570,000. That job total was up 29,800 from January 2011. Gray said the nation, which registered an 8.3 percent jobless rate in January, might be looking at prolonged, elevat-

ed unemployment levels. I think theres a chance that we have a large group of people nationally with skill sets that arent in demand like they were before, and those long-term unemployment numbers arent dipping like we would want them to in a recovery, he said. The nation has seen large increases in total employment, but at the same time the gross domestic product numbers dont look as promising. So, theres a bit of a mis-

match, Gray added. Typically, the unemployment rate does the opposite of what GDP does, which is referred to as Okuns law. So, if GDP increases, the unemployment rate will decrease, and vice versa, Gray explained. That relationship broke down a little during the recession in that unemployment increased at a greater amount than the declines in GDP would have suggested, he said. It seems to be catching up now that employment

is increasing at a faster rate than the GDP would suggest going forward into 2012. Even so, it probably will take quite some time to get unemployment rates down to pre-recession levels, Gray said. In Oklahoma, the mining and logging sector has added 8,000 jobs over the year for a 16.8 percent increase, while manufacturing is up 7,400 jobs, or 5.9 percent. The BLS reported that regional and state unemploy-

ment rates generally fell from December to January. Fortyve states and the District of Columbia recorded rate decreases, while New York saw an increase and four states had no change. Nevada continued to record the highest unemployment rate at 12.7 percent in January, while North Dakota again had the lowest at 3.2 percent.
