In d past US (ALONE) is able to withstand world demand, like bubble dots. com, asian financial crisis. this time round it cannot as it need to revise it own economy n also world economy
US jobless rate is update for Nov 08 from 533,000 to 584,000, while for Oct 08 from 320,000 to 423,000 and Dec 08 stood at 524,000, driving jobless rate to it highest level of 7.2% since Jan 1993, suggesting prolong year-long US recession is deepening.
The revisions brought it non-farm payroll in the four months throught Dec to 1.9 million job lost, so this 1st Q of 2009 job losses is going as bad as last Q of 2008.
