Job growth in the U.S. took a huge hit in May, as the rise in nonfarm payrolls (NFP) plummeted for the third straight month. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported today that employers added 69,000 workers to their payrolls in May, massively missing the median forecast of 150,000 according to a Bloomberg News survey. April NFP figure was revised downwards to 77,000 from its original print of 115,000. Private payrolls rose by 82,000 in May, down from 87,000 in April, while manufacturing added 12,000 jobs compared to 9000 a month ago.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in May, following a dip to 8.1% in April. This reflects a change in the labor force participation rate, as a rise in May by 0.2 percent to 63.8 percent offset a decline of the same amount in April.
The huge miss in job growth adds to growing concerns of a struggling U.S. labor market and economy. This will put further pressure on the Federal Reserve to boost the U.S. economy with a further round of quantitative easing.

The Cash in Spain is Mainly on the Plane
Jun 1, 2012 by Euronews http://www.euronews.com/
Spaniards alarmed by the dire state of their banks are sending money abroad at the fastest rate since records began in 1990.
The Bank of Spain says 66.2 billion euros left the country in March.
By contrast, in the same month last year 5.4 billion euros came into the country.
Spaniards - worried about the health of their banks, hit by their exposure to a 2008 property crash - have been sending money to deposit accounts in stronger economies of northern Europe.
Spain's Economy Minister Luis de Guindos however said that reflects the banking sector's problems in finding external funding rather than deposits flying overseas.
De Guindos also said that the future of the euro would be at stake in the next few weeks in Spain and Italy, adding that the rumours that Spain was negotiating financial assistance with the International Monetary Fund were "complete nonsense."
"The battle of the euro is being fought right now in Spain and Italy," he said at an event in Sitges, in the north-eastern region of Catalonia.
