For someone who is graduating in 5 weeks, this article was disheartening to say the least. There we 663,000 more jobs lost in the month of March, raising the unemployment rate to 8.5%, the highest it has been since 1983. Health care and education are among few industries barely being affected by the downturn. Analysts say that we have not hit the worst point, and should see improvement by the end of the year at the earliest. It may be that staying in school a little longer is not a bad idea since finding a job is so difficult at the time.
