Jobs Report for December


Economists that had been surveyed by Briefing.com believed that the unemployment rate would stay the same and 150,000 jobs would be created in the month of December. The actual report stated that 155,000 jobs were created in December and the unemployment rate fell by a tenth of a point from November to 7.7%. The increase in jobs and slight decrease in unemployment rates in 2012 was about the same as in 2011. “That’s not enough to make a significant dent in the unemployment rate,” said economists. The number of long-term unemployed Americans was about 4.8 million, which was not very different from 2011.

  2. They need to figure something out soon. Our future isn't looking to good for when we grow up and need a job
