Job ads fall to 49-year low in the States

The number of job recruitment ads in US newspapers fell in June to a 49-year low, according to a study by the research company Conference Board. It said its gauge measuring help-wanted ad volume was 26 in June, the lowest reading since July 1958. Total online job ads fell 2% in June, suggesting that an already-tight labour market is worried about the health of the economy. (Via Reuters)
