The whole world is watching the U.S. labor market
From one month to the next, the whole world keeps hoping that the U.S. labor market will improve. It?s not impossible for gross domestic product growth to occur in what is still the world?s largest economy without an increase in jobs, but it is certainly more of a challenge. February was one more month of disappointment ? and one more month of the ?jobless recovery? ? according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Between the first and second months of 2010, the net change in employment was -36,000 jobs. While this is an almost insignificant figure, given a total jobs level of 130 million, it is still on the wrong side of ledger.
