 Today we are starting with economics. When people want to see how a country'seconomy is doing, they can study different indicators, the stock market retail salesfor example. Two other indicators are government report, they comes out everymonth: the national unemployment rate and the number of jobs added we lost.This month's report says in September the economy added 148 thousand jobsthat's fewer than the previous month, also the unemployment rate went down alittle bit to 7.2%. Numbers in this report don't always match up that's becausethe two numbers come from separate surveys. One asks businesses about hiring,the other asks individual households about their employment status. Same daythat government report came out, a cnn orc poll came out according to that 71%of Americans think US economy is in a poor shape. 29% say the currentconditions are good. What do you say?
