UNSICKO:

US employment outlook brightens (BBC, 11/05/07)

The US created more jobs last month than expected while revised figures showed the labour market was stronger in August than first thought.

The US Labor Department said the economy added 110,000 new jobs in September, higher than the 100,000 figure predicted by economists.

And rather than shedding 4,000 jobs in August as initially estimated, 89,000 new jobs were actually created.

Jobs data is seen as a key indicator of the health of the US economy.
