U.S. Economy Added 103,000 Jobs in September; Unemployment Stays at 9.1%
The American economy added 103,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department reported Friday, a positive sign amid warnings that the country could be headed back into recession.
In its monthly report, the department also revised the August figure to a gain of 57,000, after an initial reading of no net growth.
The unemployment rate remained at 9.1 percent in September for a third month.
The report came on the heels of disappointing data about consumer confidence and the housing market, and as President Obama pushes Congress to pass his jobs bill. And economists have grown increasingly concerned about a ballooning European debt crisis that could send ripples across the Atlantic.
