- U.S. Employment Rose Far Less than Expected
Jun 3, 2011
Reuters reported that the US employment climbed less than expected in May to record its weakest reading since September. The unemployment rate increased 9.1 percent as cost of energy prices are higher and the impact of the Japan earthquake and tsunami bogged down the economy.
In a poll conducted by Reuters, economists had expected payrolls to increase 150,000 and private hiring to improve. The government even adjusted employment figures for March and April to confirm that 39,000 fewer jobs were created than previously estimated.
