COMMENTS: Where the Jobs Aren’t
The March unemployment numbers were as dismal as the Clintons' finances were rosy. The size of the workforce shrank for the third straight month, CBS' Anthony Mason noted, with a total of 232,000 positions disappearing since the New Year. He showed us monster.com's job fair in Atlanta where only a dozen businesses set up stalls and 1,200 applicants showed up. ABC's Betsy Stark (embargoed link) went through the details of the 5.1% jobless rate: 7.8m are looking for work; 1.4m are so discouraged that they have given up; 4.9m want full time positions but are forced to settled for part time. Stark called it "a discouraging picture."
