On June 2, 2012, Jonathan Fahey and Scott Mayerrowitx of the Associate Press write on Yahoo! News:
“Business has picked up. Yet American companies are too nervous to step up hiring.
“The economy seems so gripped by uncertainties that many employers have decided to manage with the staff they have. They aren’t convinced their customer demand will keep growing. Or they worry that Europe’s festering debt crisis could infect the global economy. Or they aren’t sure what Congress will do, if anything, about taxes and spending in coming months.
“All that helps explain why U.S. employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year and the third straight month of weak job growth.”
