Americans Still Struggling Despite Falling Unemployment by Aru Pande The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 5.9 percent last month -- the lowest since the 2008 recession. The White House is touting this figure along with 55 consecutive months of job creation in the private sector.

VOA correspondent Aru Pande has more on this disconnect. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/americans-still-struggling-despit e-falling-unemployment/2480358.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/americans-still-struggling-despite-falling-unemployment/2480358.html
