Great article on the unemployment rate but very encouraged by the information provided last (as unemployment numbers can be a bit deceiving at times):

“The unemployment rate rose to 5.5 percent from 5.4 percent, but even that contained some good news: more Americans, encouraged by their prospects, started looking for work last month. Not all immediately found jobs, lifting the unemployment rate……Consumers ramped up their car purchases in May to the fastest sales pace since July 2005…….And the housing market is hot again: Sales of existing homes are on track for their best year since 2007. New home sales last month reached their highest level since February 2008.”
