U.S. job losses skyrocket to four million

Mar 06 2009

I nuovi dati sulla disoccupazione americana segnano un altro record negativo: il tasso di disoccupazione sale all’8,1%, quattro milioni di americani sono senza lavoro e altri 651 mila posti sono andati perduti in un mese rispetto alle rilevazioni precedenti. Come avevamo preannunciato su questo blog in un post precedente, l’economia americana sta sprofondando nell’abisso.

Ecco la fotografia scattata dal Wall Street Journal:

The economy has shed 4.4 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007, with almost half of those losses occurring in the last three months alone. And unemployment is lasting much longer. As of last month, 2.9 million people were unemployed more than six months, up from just 1.3 million at the start of the recession.

The recession is intensifying and the economy is rapidly shrinking. We are staring into the abyss. –Stephen A. Wood, Insight Economics
