US jobless rate at five-year low

[rack'm]

The US economy added 92,000 jobs last month, taking the jobless rate to its lowest level in more than five years.

Labor Department figures for October showed that 4.4% of the US workforce were unemployed, as against 4.6% in the previous month.

The number of new jobs created fell short of predictions by analysts, who had forecast an increase of 125,000.

However, it is the third month in a row that the politically-sensitive unemployment rate has shown a decrease.

Pretty bad when you have to read another countries news to hear this

And the Democrats will complain this is a manipulation of the job force by the Bush administration to divert attention from the important issues like: "Bush lied (now it turns out he didn't), thousands died." "Cheney is the real threat, No, make that Rumsfield, No, make that uneducated military members, No, make that....."

The number of new jobs created fell short of predictions by analysts, who had forecast an increase of 125,000.
