[0:57] The experts keep telling us the end of
[0:59] this recession is in sight. But for

[1:05] Department said today the unemployment
[1:06] rate jumped another half point in May to
[1:09] 9.4%.

[1:13] is that the number of job losses was the
[1:15] lowest since September. Here's Anthony

[1:23] numbers are back to being just bad.

[1:33] >> Monthly job losses peaked in January at
[1:36] 741,000,
[1:38] but the pace of losses has been
[1:40] declining steadily ever since to less
[1:42] than half that number. Analysts say
[1:44] employers are no longer panicked.
[1:46] >> All that we're seeing right now is
[1:48] layoffs abading. Hir
