July jobs report, continued ..

According to an AP article by Jeannine Aversa, one of the reasons for the decrease in he unemployment rate was that hundreds of thousands of people left the labor force. Fewer people, though, did report being unemployed. In total, there were 14.5 million out of work in July.

Additionally, adjusted May and June job loss numbers were actually better than originally reported. The May total was cut from 322,000 to 303,000 and June was modified from 467,000 to 443,000, making the contrast to the July total of 247,000 all the more significant.

January was the worst month for job losses since 1949, with job losses totaling 741,000. It is estimated that the economy has lost a net total of 6.7 million jobs.
