The U.S. unemployment rate remains stable in Sept at 6.1%, although the unemployment rate climbed to a five- year high in the last few months. This heightens the risk of an economic slowdown. The report showed the effects of the housing slump and the credit crisis that it triggered. Payrolls at builders fell 8,000 after decreasing 20,000. Financial firms trimmed payrolls by 3,000 for a second consecutive month.

Let's predict if the US unemployment rate will go up or down in Oct 2008. We will verify the result here: http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/s...
