Finally. Some good economic news on the all-important jobs front:
U.S. employers cut a far fewer-than-expected 11,000 jobs in November, the smallest decline since the start of the recession in December 2007, government data showed on Friday, strongly suggesting the deterioration in the labor market was in its final stages.Maybe, just maybe, the recovery is starting to hit Main Street, not just Wall Street. But, we still need a lot more jobs. That 10% represents who are still unemployed represents millions of families without a steady paycheck.
The Labor Department said the unemployment rate fell to 10 percent from a 26-1/2 year high of 10.2 percent in October. The government revised job losses for September and October to show 159,000 fewer jobs lost than previously reported.
