AND now for the REST of the story


"Companies add 308,000 jobs, but unemployment up"



Salon, eh? If you want the *REAL* story, go to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics site:

Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 308,000 in March, and the
unemployment rate was about unchanged at 5.7 percent, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Payroll job
growth
was fairly widespread, as construction employment rose sharply and several
major service-providing industries also added jobs.
