- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 4, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) REGENTATLANTIC PARTNER AND CO-HEAD OF INVESTMENTS, ANDY KAPYRIN, SAYING: "There's, there's 10 or so factors pulling the economy in the recovery direction, 10 or so pulling in the recessionary direction. There are three players pulling very hard towards recession today. And those are manufacturing numbers. Those are so things like the ISM. The service sector as has weakened considerably, and now the job numbers are pretty weak. And the problem with jobs is that they can infect consumer confidence which is 70% of the economy. So, if this trend continues, if lower wage growth becomes a new trend and it continues to trend downward, that can meaningfully impact markets and the economy."
