Jobs are being lost in the service, business and manufacturing sectors
The unemployment rate in the US is at its highest level in nearly five
years after a higher-than-expected 84,000 jobs were lost last month.
The jobless rate has risen to 6.1%%, the highest since December 2003,
adding to concern about the US economy and its ability to stave off a
recession.
In a further blow, the Labor Department revised upwards job loss figures
for each of the past two months.
The Federal Reserve said earlier that economic activity remained "weak".
Worse than thought
The number of jobs lost last month was significantly higher than the
75,000 forecast by economists.
All sectors of the economy were affected with manufacturing worst hit,
shedding 61,000 jobs.
