Unemployment rates rise in 27 US states
2012-07-23
[Iran Press TV] Unemployment rates rose in 27 U.S. states last month, the most in almost a year and a reflection of weaker hiring nationwide.

The Labor Department says unemployment rates fell in 11 states and Washington, D.C. - the fewest since August. Rates were unchanged in 12 states.

Nationwide, employers added only 80,000 jobs last month, the third straight month of weak job growth. The national unemployment rate stayed at 8.2 percent.

Unemployment rates can rise even if more jobs are created if more of those out of work start looking for work. The number of Americans searching for jobs nationwide increased last month.

Nevada recorded the highest unemployment rate, at 11.6 percent, followed by Rhode Island, with 10.9 percent. USNews

Be it Rising China or Rising Nuclear Islam, in the "great game" of geopolitics WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS, + STRENGTH IS STRENGTH, irregardless of any alliances or pro-peace, cooperation rhetoric to the contrary. WEAKNESS ON THE PART OF SUPERPOWER/HYPERPOWER USA WILL BE DISCOVERED + EXPLOITED BY ITS ALLIES, FRENEMIES OR ENEMIES, TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE US.

#6  The economy can never get better with the so long as the hate capitalism regime is in power. Adding 80,000 jobs while nearly 400,000 are applying for unemployment benefits each week will only take the U.S. down. Best to replace the the Progressives (or whatever name you prefer to call them) in government in November.
