The US economy is showing signs of slowing down, adding only 54,000 jobs in May - the smallest increase in eight months. The nation's unemployment rate inched higher last month to 9.1 percent, raising fears the US recovery already may have peaked. Hiring in May fell far short of the 150,000 jobs that Wall Street was expecting, sending stock prices sharply lower on Friday.

  • @moistfaucet u mean by "anyone" the Obama administration? i have to agree. no clue how to fix it.

  • don't blame Obama for everything. he inherited the economy from BUSH. I don't think anyone know how to handle the economy at this time.

  • the states is BROKE! the economy has barely gained anything, retail is dead, the malls and restaurants are empty, and prices keep going up. Get real people

  • Wasn't it oblama' staff that said the Unemployment rate would not go over 8% if oblama's stimulus package was Passed?

    Let's see ,,, 2009 Unemployment = 9.3%, 2010 = 9.6%, 2011(6 mon) 9.0% Not looking too good for mr oblama

  • @rw5791  Go and smell some shit!

  • we just gotta keep goin' along like this and we can break the niggers back.Even with a billion dollars he can't get re-elected with this many people out of work in states like OH.PA ,ID,MI.

    nd I ain't no racist,neither.

  • 9.1% is a lie. American statistics only count those who got unemployed during the last year. Those who are unemployed for more then a year and those who gave up trying - are not being included in the numbers. The real number is much much higher, one of the worlst in the civilized world. Other countries announce real numbers.

  • how are you liking Obama now!

  • Better trained?!?!? people are already highly skilled, and they are working double hard for half the money what more do you want? most people I know work 2 to 4 jobs and you want them to get better training? fuck you.
