US jobless rate falls. Yes, you heard it right! US unemployment rate dropped to 5 percent according to US Labor Department. Ain't bad though. Recently, we've been hearing a lot of job hiring freeze, companies cutting bonuses and retrenchment by various big companies, but this news came very surprising to most jobseekers and curious followers.
According to reports, for the fourth month in a row, the economy lost jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Job losses for both February and March turned out to be a bit deeper than previously reported.
This might be ironic or unconvincing to everyone, but this news surely gave hope to everyone that America is really coping up.

April 17 - More Americans filed first-time jobless claims last week and the total number receiving benefits rose to the highest level in almost four years, a sign the labor market continues to weaken. Initial applications for unemployment insurance increased by 17,000 to 372,000 in the week that ended April 12, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The number of people on benefit rolls climbed to 2.98 million, the most since June 2004. Housing-related businesses are paring workers while others are reluctant to hire as evidence builds that the U.S. is in a recession. Consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the economy, may keep slowing as rising joblessness hurts Americans already burdened by lower home prices and higher fuel costs.
