Desemprego nos E.U.A.

The unemployment rate surged to its highest level in nearly 16 years in December as a deepening economic slump forced companies to slash payrolls by more than half a million jobs.
The Labor Department said on Friday the national unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent in December, the highest level since January 1993, beating analysts forecast for a reading of 7.0 percent. The jobless rate was 6.8 percent in November
