Økt arbeidsledighet i USA – 63.000 færre jobber i februar

Arbeidsdepartementet i USA (Labor Department) melder om 63.000 færre jobber. Dette bekrefter frykten om en solid nedgang i den amerikanske økonomien blant forbrukere, produsenter og investorer.

Fra New York Times:

In a report that was far worse than most analysts had expected, the Labor Department estimated that the nation lost 63,000 jobs in February. It was the second consecutive monthly decline, and the third straight drop for private-sector jobs.
