In recent months, the economic recovery of US which officially began in June 2009 has slowed considerably. It has raised concerns over the long slog that the country will need to endure to dig itself out of the deepest downturn ever since the Great Depression.
Private payrolls have been growing throughout 2009 but at a rate which is too sluggish to make much of a dent in unemployment. Economists predicted that the outlook for the rest of the year is equally discouraging.
The Labor Department reported Friday that 95,000 non-farm jobs has been shed in September, mostly led by the result of the layoffs by local governments and of temporary decennial Census workers.
Most estimates were for a loss of only a few thousand jobs. However, the steep drop was far worse than economists had been forecasting.
