Unemployment creeps upward for second month in a row

shortformblog:

  • 9.1% unemployment in May, up from 9% in April  source

» That’s a .2% increase since March, when unemployment was looking “good” at 8.9%. A total of 83,000 jobs were added in the (nonfarm) private sector; however, 29,000 governmental employees got the axe last month, bringing the total number of jobs added down to 54,000. Here’s to a better month.

  6. freemarketliberal said: It’s about time to cut down the types of people we consider unemployed. Anyone who works even 2 hours a week should no longer be included in that category, so that “unemployment” can decrease.
