Use the following news clip to work Problem. Nation's Economic Pain Deepens
A spike in the unemployment rate-the biggest in more than two decades-raised new concerns that the economy is heading into a recession. The U.S. unemployment rate soared to 5.5% in May from 5% in April-much higher than forecasted. The surge marked the biggest one-month jump in unemployment since February 1986, and the 5.5% rate is the highest seen since October 2004.
