WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's jobs market sent a fresh cry of distress as the number of newly laid off people unexpectedly hit the highest level in more than six years, a Labor Department report showed Thursday. The faltering economy and tight credit have forced companies to cut back, and as the job market shrinks, consumer spending may dwindle, too. All that spells potentially more trouble for the country later this year as the bracing tonic of the government's tax rebates disappears. "Consumers will be very tight fisted in the coming months," predicted Richard Yamarone, economist at Argus Research. "Nothing shuts down the consumer—and the economy—like the loss of a job." Companies are laying off workers as they struggle with slowing customer demand, harder-to-get credit and high costs for fuel and other raw materials.

Again, always leaving out the best part, Kenneth... Also from your article: Those sources said they have no idea how close both sides are to a deal, but they claim that the pending agreement under discussion is heavily qualified to give both Iraq and the U.S. the flexibility they may need as security conditions on the ground change. Both sides stress the deal is not final and could fall apart over the issue of legal immunity for American troops. Do you ever go beyond the headlines? Or is this all your handlers give you? You are such a DNC parrot. LOL! Diz-
