"Jobless rate hits 8.1% in February as a record-high 12.5 million people are unemployed. U.S. economy continued to hemorrhage jobs in February, bringing total job losses over the last six months to more than 3.3 million, and taking the unemployment rate to its highest level in 25 years. The government reported Friday that employers slashed 651,000 jobs in February, down from a revised loss of 655,000 jobs in January. December's loss was also revised higher to a loss of 681,000 jobs, a 59-year high for losses in one month."

Very bad. Once the figure hit double digits, there will be crime outbreak (already it is high there). Will spill over here too.
