The downward slide

The U.S. only added 19,000 jobs in May compared to an initial report of 144,000, and only 14,000 in June after an initial report of 147,000, according to BLS. Those two paltry totals, plus a July jobs gain of 73,000, mean the U.S. added just 106,000 jobs over the past three months.
