US economy adds 171K jobs; rate rises to 7.9 pct. - 0 views

    Just because the unemployment rate rose only by 0.1 pct, doesn't mean that America lost jobs. Actually, since more people have started looking for jobs, there are more people unemployed because there are more people who are actually trying to get a job now.

    This article has to do with economics because it has to deal with the growth of today's economy and how it is going slow, but not getting any worse. It talks about the government spending contribution to the GDP and how there is more demand in housing and auto which also helps to the economic growth.
