Over the last five years the job market has been on its slowest recovery in decades, but it has kept share prices into an extended bull run with $14 trillion having been restored to the market.

Big companies’ reluctance to hire new staff is expected to propel the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index into its highest profits margins ever next year, surpassing the 10 percent mark. Investors, moreover, do not expect to see the market bull slow down its pace any time soon after Fed Chairman nominee Janet Yellen identified the staggering employment market as the greatest hindrance to reducing bond purchase.

Even as American employees have been battling with salary cuts and job losses ever since recession hit in 2008, the last 57 months have recorded phenomenal performances for investors who have benefited by companies’ reductions in expenses and record-low borrowing costs that have pushed the S&P 500 into a 167 percent climb. The great market bulls, moreover, foresee that for as long as the Fed keeps its focus on unemployment rather than inflation equities will keep advancing.

With worker compensation on the slide as companies and the ratio of U.S. salaries to earning having fallen to 3.2, its slowest since 1996, S&P 500 companies have seen their profitability rise increasing the profitability of each dollar of sale to a remarkable 9.9 cents this year.
