US jobs increase not helpful for many Americans
US businesses are hiring again, creating 236,000 jobs in February, and helping to decrease the unemployment rate from 7.9% in January to 7.7%.
A slight rebound in the housing sector, and retail and factory jobs increasing again meant overall unemployment hit a four-year low.
But many people are finding they are unemployed for longer periods, and some 130,000 people have given up looking for work all together.
