"Jobless Recovery" in the US

Feb2010: US output has grown at an annual rate of 5.7%, but without improving the jobless situation. 20,000 jobs were lost in January, mainly in the construction sector. Unemployment rate dropped from 10% to 9.7%. Larry Summers former Secretary of the Treasury stated America is experiencing a "statistical recovery and human recession". Cautious optimism may be in the air as employment for temporary workers increased.
