A weakening U.S. economy spilled into the job market in March as employers added just 126,000 jobs 0the fewest since December 2013 – snapping a 12-month streak of gains above 200,000.
The unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent, the Labor Department said in its monthly report Friday.
The March jobs data raised uncertainties about the world's largest economy, which for months has been the envy of other industrialized nations for its steadily robust hiring and growth.
Employers now appear wary about the economy, especially as a strong dollar has slowed U.S. exports, home sales have sputtered and cheaper gasoline has yet to unleash more consumer spending.

And then in another month or 2 it will go back up and all the "stupid American" DEMOCRAT voters will say lookie lookie look how great obama the job creator is-too damn stupid to know hiring increased because of all the seasonal positions-agriculture-amusement parks-beach resorts-have hired for the summer.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a FB post Ireton has up praising obamacare and saying the numbers don't lie.
You guys in Sby got a real live one when you elected that moron for Mayor. Either he is completely and utterly clueless or he has major character flaws which allows him to lie without conscience. The overwhelming majority of obamacare enrollees only did so BECAUSE their previous healthcare plan was cancelled because it wasn't grandfathered.
Bingo 8:47!!!! I just see a democrat being elected in 2016 for POTUS. The republicans haven't and won't do anything that will ruffle any feathers. They are to weak to beat anyone in 2016.
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't been good since the great recession started in 2008!
