  • serious vulnerability for President Obama as he faces re-election
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      The significance of unemployment rate is clearly indicated, such as the the impact on Obama's re-election. 
  • The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in May from 8.1 in April, though largely because more people began looking for work.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      Unemployment raises when there is more demand for working because no matter whether there is an increase or decrease in the working labour force, the number of available jobs are limited. Because there is a limited number in the number of jobs, the increase in demand for employment raises the unemployment rate. 
  • another recession.

  • The report on American jobs added to the global pall that has deepened with Europe’s debt crisis and slowing growth in China and India.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      This indicates the influence of America's unemployment rate as well as their economic growth to the other major countries, such as China and India. A increase in America's unemployment rate resulting in a decrease in America's GDP growth has affect on the economy of China and India, such as in exporting goods. 
  • Yields on United States and German government bonds also slumped as investors bid up the bonds’ prices looking for safety.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      The decrease in the prices of government bonds in Germany and United States indicates that the citizens dont have the trust to these countries for their skill to return the money with a fixed amount of tax. This is also another indication for the economy not doing well. 
  • The underlying pace of the domestic economy is a slog, driven by manufacturing and restrained by slackening global demand.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      The main factor of decrease in America's GDP is stated as the overall decrease in the demand for goods since many economies are not successful.

      The economic policies which President Obama used can be described thoroughly in this section, such as fiscal and monetary and their success. 
  • The May jobs report showed gains in health care, transportation and warehousing, and wholesale trade, while construction jobs fell by a seasonally adjusted 28,000. Even some bright spots, like booming auto sales, failed to meet expectations or to bolster manufacturing employment by much — only 12,000 jobs.
