The U.S. economy created just 80,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate held steady at 8.2 percent, reflecting continued slow growth in the economy with the presidential election just four months away.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said private payrolls increased 84,000, while the government lost 4,000 jobs. Economists expected job growth of about 100,000 and the unemployment rate to be unchanged, though many had increased their forecasts based on some recent indicators.

+2If they did that the true unemployment number would be just shy of 20%. Why would the government, especially Obama, want to tell the people the truth. Obama would rather ride around on his bus, drinking beer, eating pizza and lying through his narcissistic a** about his accomplishments. I just can't believe how many idiots still believe him.reply
