| Recent Employment Data for the US | | Date Added: August 02, 2009 05:37:58 AM |
| Despite talks about growth of the economic situation, unemployment rate is still enhancing in the USA. This situation might shake the Democrats reputation.
Although economic downfall is believed to relax, the unemployment is expected to increase and exceed 10% during a year. Increase in poverty and poor economic growth could provide even more grounds for blaming Obama and parliamentarian Democrats for lavishing public money. If the trend is not reversed, the government which has been justifying its spending by the attempts to make new working positions and improve the economic instability, will have tough times, especially during the midterm elections of November 2010.
The economic policy of Barack obama entails investing 787 bln dollars in renewable energy, healthcare, education and vocational training. The government asserts that this step will help to make the thriftiness stable and create new working positions. This optimistic vision, however, is not shared by economic specialists. By their estimates, the unemployment is going to exceed 10% in 2010, and its return to the pre-deterioration level (about 5%) can be anticipated not sooner than in a few years. The anticipated development of the employment situation is going to sternly affect children, low-skilled workers, immigrants, African and Latin Americans.
Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute, is reported to assert that the rate of structural unemployment will entail enormous damage to many communities and verbalised his astonishment with the relaxed reaction of American citizens. According to statistics, since December 2007 the quantity of jobs in the U.S. Has reduced by almost 5.7 million. Although recent months showed a slight growth of the employment situation and increase of consumption, the tendency remains unchanged, and the quantity of jobs still diminishes.
Making things worse, American companies spare no efforts to re-employ workers and present technological advances into production, thus making their employees redundant. Moreover, the economic deterioration almost ruined the economic sector and the automotive industry. Even government interference fails to restore nany of the jobs in these sectors.
"The rate of unemployment has not reached its acme, it will be long-lasting," claims Mishel. The political debate seems to suggest that the crisis is behind us, but we still need to discuss ways out of the actual crisis, i.e. to recreate jobs." |
