Job Loss in America Hit a High Note

A recent article in the New York Times discusses the devastating amount number of jobs lost in the US since the start of the recession. In February alone, there were 615,000 jobs lost. This is the third month in a row that over 600,000 jobs have been lost. Economists say that although the Obama administration predicted a quick fix with the bailout plan, ease will not come until at least next year. As someone who recently lost a job due to the economic failure, I can relate with the stress and anxiety that most of the nation is feeling. I hope that within the next few months jobs begin to open up and the economy can make a slow turn around. If not, life after college will be more difficult than I expected.
