Survey: Quarter of Job Losses Will Be Permanent
-----------------------------------------------



Around 8.4 million jobs have been lost since December 2007. According to
economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal, around a quarter of the
lost jobs are gone for good. The survey comes as the White House
released an economic forecast projecting job growth this year will be
too low to significantly address unemployment. The projection says
employers will add just 95,000 jobs per month, a number just below what
economists say is needed just to keep up with population growth.
