US sees 131,000 jobs lost in July

The US economy shed another 131,000 jobs in July, the second month in a row that jobs have been lost, the Labor Department has said.
The private sector created 71,000 jobs, the government reported.
However, both figures were worse than expected.
Despite the overall fall in job numbers, the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.5%.

Many analysts are concerned that high unemployment is undermining the US economic recovery, particularly as the monthly jobs report is one of the most closely-watched economic indicators in the US.
The high unemployment is because of the private sector hiring that remains weak.
Manufacturing employment increased by 36,000, healthcare by 27,000 and mining by 7,000.
"The modest gain in private sector jobs confirm that the economy remains on a slow growth path, and it's going to be a long haul to rev up the jobs machine," said Bart van Ark from research firm The Conference Board.

Figures released last week showed that US economic growth had slowed between April and June, with GDP growing by an annualised rate of 2.4% compared with 3.7% in the previous quarter.
The housing market has also slowed in the past two months.
But the US government insisted that the economy was not at risk of falling back into recession.
