Episode description
Unemployment Back at 9%, Despite High Job NumbersEmployers added more than 200,000 jobs in April for the third straight month. But the unemployment rate still rose to nine percent. That's in part because some people jumped back into the job market actively looking for work, so they're now counted as unemployed. Private-sector employers created nearly 270,000 jobs last month. That's the most since February 2006.
