Is Any Job Better Than No Job?
The Labor Departments monthly jobs report released Friday was not good news.

Only 41,000 private jobs were created, far short of expectations of 150,000 to 180,000 jobs, and unemployment rates remained steady. Economists estimate that the U.S. needs to add more than 100,000 jobs a month just to keep pace with new workers -- high school and college graduates -- entering the market.. With unemployment still high, should new graduates be so choosy about their first jobs?
