The no-jobs economy: Why isn't the US recovery stronger?

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Christian Science Monitor - By Mark Trumbull - Jul. 10 (News Report) - Failure to reach at least a modest debt deal could signal to investors that the US government is in a state of chaos and uncertainty. That could make the nation's jobs problem still worse. The US economy generated only 18,000 new jobs in June, so few that the Labor Department on Friday described the nation's job count as "essentially unchanged." Why is the job market so weak? Is the economy at risk of a new recession? Those questions loom large as President Obama and congressional leaders seek a deal to raise the limit on federal debt, while also restraining future deficits. Their stated goal is to put the government's own finances on sounder footing, but that issue is inextricably linked to the larger economy. US job market: Four ways to cut the unemployment rate "The economy has to support the government," says Peter Schiff, who heads the investment firm Euro Pacific Capital in Westport, Conn. "If consumers are broke ... then government is broke." At present, consumers aren't quite broke, but they certainly aren't feeling flush with cash either.
