The U.S. Department of Labor released the numbers of May.  Last month, a total of 1300 legal jobs were lost in the United States.  This number happens to be the lowest of the year, so far.  Although this is comforting and perhaps a sign that the market is getting better, it may merely be a result of having already let go of so many; 14,400 have already been let go from the start of the year.  25,500 (or when not seasonally adjusted – 30,200) have been laid off in the past year.  Only time will tell.
