NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The unemployment rate soared to a nearly five-year high in August, topping 6%, as employers trimmed jobs for the eighth straight month, according to the latest government reading Friday that came in weaker than forecasts. The big surprise in the report was that the unemployment rate rose to 6.1%, the highest level since September 2003. That's up from the 5.7% rate in July and 4.7% a year ago. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast the rate would remain unchanged from the July reading. There was a net loss of 84,000 jobs in August, according to the Labor Department, compared to a revised reading of a 60,000 job loss in July. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a loss of 75,000 jobs. With the August report, the U.S. economy has now lost 605,000 jobs so far this year. Manufacturing lost 61,000 jobs, while construction employment fell by 8,000. But the job losses were widespread beyond those two troubled sectors. Retailers trimmed 20,000 jobs despite the back-to-school shopping season that is second only to the holiday period for many stores. Business and professional services, a broad category that includes industries such as accountants, consultants and legal services, lost 53,000 workers. Leisure and hospitality cut 4,000 jobs. The few sectors showing gains were government as well as education and health services, which gained 72,000 between them to temper the losses elsewhere. But while economists generally study the payroll numbers most closely in this report, it's the unemployment rate that registers with most Americans when they think about the labor market. The jump is likely to be a new blow to consumer confidence, which had just started to show gains from earlier lows due to declining gasoline prices. And if consumer confidence starts to fall again, it could put a brake on spending which in turn would be a new drag on the economy. The unemployment rate doesn't even tell the whole picture about how difficult the job market has become. It only counts those who looked for work during the month, not unemployed people who want jobs but who have become discouraged from looking for work. And it also doesn't count those who want full-time jobs but can only find part-time position. The so-called underemployment rate, which includes those two other groups, rose to 10.7%, the highest reading since 1994.

Y'know. For the economy being in such pits, my wife made an observance. she said" "For the economy supposedly being so bad, it seems that people eat out a lot, and like to drive their suburbans to grocery shop 30 mi. away, and the movie theaters seemed to be full....." i could go on. Actually, restaurant business is way down, as is almost any retail, including grocery stores. My wife works for YMCA and they are laying off employees because people aren't spending money to exercise. Really! maybe I ought to take my rose colored blinders off. LOL! But I've noticed that on especially a week end that it's hard to find a parking spot at Olive Garden TGIF Ruby's Outback Cracker Crumble Applebee's and almost all the steak houses. three weeks or so ago, Outback had an hr. and 1/2 waiting list. and even though one really doesn't need a co-signer to go in those places, that's not what you really call cheap eating, either. |

But objectivly speaking I wonder if that's actually because of a summer/ outdoors exercising crave that will pick back up in the fall and winter? or it's it;s actually hard economy? |

It is the Pelosi premium on gasoline, and the Democrats refusal to admit it has gone up as much since they took over congress, than it did in the whole of the previous Bush administration... |
