Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 27, 2013 -- Thursday the Commerce Department released a Press Statement announcing the GDP grew by 2.8% last quarter. This was the fastest pace since the third quarter in 2012 and far exceeded the modest projections of analysts. This continued the trend in better-than-expected news last week for the nation's economy. (commerce.gov,[11/7/2013])
While the unemployment rate edged up to 7.3% from 7.2% in September, the Department of Labor clarified this was because many federal workers were considered to be unemployed while government offices were closed down. It was also reported that last month's report needed to be rectified to add an additional 60,000 more jobs which were created in September and August more than earlier estimates had suggested. (bls.gov, [11/8/2013])
"I think everyone was really bracing for a potentially harder impact at the end of last week than we ended up getting, obviously. It was one of those situations where you wanted to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Realistically, however, where financial matters are concerned, you really can't afford to use the word ‘hope', so you just prepare. The good news is now, of course, since everyone did prepare, the worst did not materialize. Things kept moving forward and now we get to reap the benefits of that preparation," said John Burkhardt, Managing Director of MedZilla.com.
Novartis has just made a bold strategic move to consolidate its investment holdings by moving out of the UK market, bringing the company 1.7 billion dollars. These tactical restructuring moves will help solidify its pharmaceutical, generic and eye care holdings which are extremely competitive in their respective markets. According to the company's CEO Joe Jimenez, Novartis is open to "any and all options that would allow us to have those businesses achieve their full potential." Novartis shares were up 1.2% after markets were alerted to the news. (marketwatch.com, [11/11/13])
"Strategic movement in the right direction and restructuring can mean many positive things for a company as well as its employees. Consolidation of resources can mean a more focused commitment and a clearer corporate direction. This kind of scaling back builds a solid foundation from which a healthier, longer term employment structure can grow. In this case, this announcement looks like it could end up being good news for US pharmaceuticals," says Del Johnston, Manager of Client Relations at MedZilla.com.
