Unemployment in U.S. hits 22-year high

So, college grads, how’s that job-hunt going? :O

From The New York Times:

The unemployment rate surged to 5.5 percent in May from 5 percent — the sharpest monthly spike in 22 years — as the economy lost 49,000 jobs, registering a fifth consecutive month of decline, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Man, I am glad for once that I’m still in school (although I know that doesn’t really solve any of my problems regarding this).

Oh yeah, and the US dollar is getting weaker.
And oil and gas aren’t getting cheaper (they’re getting more expensive).
Lastly, I love cats.
