The U.S. Has Finally Recovered All Jobs Lost in Recession
The U.S. economy added 217,000 jobs in May, according to a report Friday from the Bureau of Labor. That number on its own might not seem particularly notable as it lined up pretty well with economists' estimates
However, the latest report marked a milestone for the economy: there are now more jobs in the country than there were at the peak in early 2008, just before the recession took hold
There were 138.463 million jobs in the country last month, narrowly topping the 138.365 million jobs in the economy at the peak in January, 2008.
