These are the eight cities where minorities are now in the majority. Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program’s “State of Metropolitan America” found that “Non-whites and Hispanics accounted for 98 percent of population growth in large metro areas from 2000 to 2010."
As this is the first day after Labor Day, we continued with our labor and jobs tributes.

• Here are the The Most Promising Jobs of the Next Decade. If you are in technology, work as an analyst or cater to baby boomers, you're in luck.
   
• Also, here are the Seven Jobs that Make Workers Sick, literally. Everyone knows it's dangerous to be a fire fighter or coal miner. But why are pilots and morticians at risk?
   
• Given the long weeekend, here are some of the Highest Paying Jobs with the Most Time Off. Graduate school professors get paid well and have summers off. Why do judges and occupational therapists have it so good?
   
• Who has to work this holiday - the Labor Day's laborers. While most of us have off, these are the professions that keep America safe, secure and running.

The markets are holding up better than some would have expected after Monday's international sell-offs.

As always, here are our top major media headline summaries from the likes of Bloomberg, WSJ, Reuters, FT and more.

The top analyst upgrades and downgrades this morning are in shares of ATVI, BEAV, CF, DDS, DNKN, ERTS, LDK, MRGE, NOV, PHM, SODA, TEA, X, and WAIR. 

We also have today's top market rumors.
The Stock Trader's Almanac and others refer to September as being a jinx and being the worst calendar month of them all for the stock market. We analyzed this and gave and outlook on many of the DJIA components which will control the stock market performance this month.
Bank of America (BAC) is under fire, but right before Labor Day we identified ten steps the bank could take to get its stock back to $10 and higher.
The buyback tally for August was insane... almost $30 billion even before weeding out the dozens and dozens of smaller announcements.
As many of you were out Friday, there is a potential that the Netflix content problem with Starz could just be the tip of the iceberg.
What does a weak shipping climate right now tell you about the coming holiday season?

Have a great day!
