Biggest jobless jump since '86 _ Wall Street sinks

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pink slips piled up and jobs disappeared into thin air in May as the nation's unemployment rate zoomed to 5.5 percent in the biggest one-month jump in decades. Wall Street swooned, and the White House said President Bush was considering new proposals to revive the economy.

Help-wanted signs are vanishing along with jobs, so the unemployment rate is likely to keep climbing, a government report indicated, underscoring the toll the housing and credit crises are taking on jobseekers, employers and the economy as a whole.


Adding to the pain, oil prices soared to a new record high, while the value of the dollar fell.

The Dow Jones industrials tumbled almost 400 points.


The White House snapped into crisis-management mode. The president is now considering further plans to help energize the economy, which had already been teetering on the edge of recession, said counselor Ed Gillespie. Bush acknowledged, "This is a time of turbulence in the housing market and slow growth for our overall economy."


Pounded by soaring energy prices and plagued by uncertainty, nervous employers clamped down further on hiring in May.


Friday's Labor Department report was filled with sobering numbers:


- Employers eliminated 49,000 jobs in May, the fifth straight month of nationwide losses.


- The number of unemployed people grew by 861,000 - to 8.5 million.


- Job losses for the year reached 324,000.


Longer unemployment lines mean even more angst for those seeking work.

And the sad part is, no one knows what to do or how to get the job market back on it's feet.  We've had so many jobs go overseas since NAFTA was created, and nothing is coming up to replace all those lost jobs.   We need to get rid of NAFTA! It's costing too many Americans their jobs and their wages!!!

Crime is going to go up and the Mayor in our town wants us to lay off some cops....what?

We had 2 reports of gas syphaning sp?? , a lot more shopliftings, and drive aways from gas stations...... it's only going to get worse.

It sickens me because it's going to get effect everything and everyone. I paid $3.97 today for my gas per gallon

Oil went up $16.50 a barrel in TWO DAYS?!?!  They said it's a 13% increase!  If those prices hold you could see a 50 - 60 cent increase at the pump by this time next week!!!!

YEESH!
