Dismal Employment Report for May

Shaila Dewan, reporting for the NYT:

The United States economy gained a net 69,000 jobs in May, the Labor Department said Friday, a dismal showing that reflected mounting evidence of a global slowdown. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 in April, largely because more people began looking for work.

This is a much bigger deal than misspelling “America” in an iPhone app, you guys.
