For the current recession, employment peaked in December 2007, and this recession is by far the worst recession since WWII in percentage terms, and 2nd worst in terms of the unemployment rate (only early '80s recession with a peak of 10.8 percent was worse).This is a very weak report. The decrease in the unemployment rate was because of a decline in the participation rate - and that is not good news.
