WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Economists didn't expect June's unemployment rate to be much different from May's, which was an already-low 5.6 from May's, which was an already-low 5.6 percent.percent. But in fact, it did fall -- to 5.3 percent. The unemployment rate hasn't been that low since June 1990.
The Labor Department said Friday that businesses added 239,000 workers to their payrolls during June. The vast majority of the jobs added were in the service industry, including restaurants, bars, and agencies that place temporary workers.
Analysts said preparations for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta also helped boost the total.

Knucklehead,
Kerry is the originator of US make work programs,
Taxachusetts is a socialist enclave.
And 66 cents of every dollar we send to china comes back for american products.
Pretectionism is not the answer, the answer is to get them to compete on a level playing field and honor trademarks and copyrights, abide by modern pollution control standards and pay a reasonable wage.
the US did not get it's place in the world via protectionist economic policy.
