Published on 3 Jun 2016

TheStreet: Technology Is Killing U.S. Jobs Says Jim Cramer

Published on 3 Jun 2016
Technology is evolving quickly and that digitization is destroying a lot of U.S. jobs, said TheStreet's Jim Cramer on the heels of the worse-than-expected May employment report. The 38,000 jobs created in May fell well short of consensus expectations of around 160,000. Also not helping the employment figures is the fact that coal, rail and oil jobs are 'going away' more quickly than people expected. Even banks are shutting down branches because of smartphone apps that reduce the need for bricks-and-mortar outposts.

#USA - economy suffers weakest growth since 2010 adding 38,000 jobs: wochit Business

Published on 3 Jun 2016
The US economy added just 38,000 jobs in May for the weakest growth since 2010. It gained 122,000 fewer jobs than expected ahead of a crucial meeting of the Federal Reserve. The department of labor announced Friday that the unemployment rate slipped down to 4.7%. A strike by 40,000 Verizon workers impacted the numbers. However, including them in the count would still account for less than half of expected job growth. The massively disappointing report is the last before the Fed’s next two-day meeting on June 14 when the US central bank may raise interest rates again. It is sure to add to speculation that a rate hike could be delayed until July
