COMMENTS: Summertime Blues
There was one other story, besides the ongoing pollution of the Gulf of Mexico, that was newsworthy enough to warrant coverage by a correspondent from all three newscasts. May's unemployment data were released by the Department of Labor. ABC's David Muir and NBC's John Yang both went through the numbers: a 9.7% jobless rate; 15m out of work nationwide; almost all new hiring accounted for by temporary Census Bureau work. CBS' Anthony Mason looked at the hardest hit demographic: the tight job market means a 26% unemployment rate for teenagers looking for a summer job.
