NYT: Hooray! U.S lost 20,000 jobs in April, which is way better than, 21,000!


From the New York Times:
"The American economy shed 20,000 jobs in April, the Labor Department said on Friday in a report that many economists took as powerful evidence that the United States is ensnared in a recession.
It was the fourth consecutive month of decline. But the size of the loss was significantly smaller than many analysts predicted, and the unemployment rate nudged down to 5 percent, sowing hopes that the economy may not suffer as severely as some have feared."
