Benefits, Investments, Liquidity, And More

Five can’t-miss data points this week on CreditUnions.com.

This week, CreditUnions.com shows how three credit unions are attracting new talent, how KeyPoint in California makes millions on its investments, and asks if the credit union industry is too loaned out.

Here are five can’t-miss data points:

4.1%

One month after the signing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% more than 270 companies had announced wage and salary increases, bonuses, or 401(k) match increases. And while corporate tax cuts might be a catalyst, another factor driving this newfound largesse is the job market itself. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1% in January and demand for workers is on the rise.

82.5%

The credit union industry’s loan-to-share ratio peaked at 83.7% in the third quarter of 2008. After the Great Recession, the movement’s loan-to-share ratio dropped dipping all the way to 65.9% in the third quarter of 2013. Since then, however, the ratio has gradually rebounded and hit 82.5% at year-end 2017.
