Job losses in the U.S. private sector accelerated in March, more than economists' expectations, according to a report by ADP Employer Services on Wednesday. Private employers cut jobs by a record 742,000 in March versus a 706,000 revised cut in February that was originally reported at 697,000 jobs, said ADP, which has been carrying out the survey since 2001. The big drop foreshadows a huge decline in the non-farm payroll reading in the government's employment report that will be released on Friday, some analysts said. "It's a terrible number. It is almost a loss of three quarters of a million jobs which is possibly the highest we have seen so far over the length of this crisis," said Matt Esteve, foreign exchange trader with Tempus Consulting in Washington.

African-American unemployment | Blacks | Independents | Democrats | Republicans As the unemployment numbers continue to get far worse for blacks, what should the Obama administration do? What should blacks do? Is the ship sinking? What should we as blacks do in a sinking ship. Bail out? Bail Out where? Bail out How? Cheryl L Jackson over at the Chicago Sun Times reports February's higher-than-anticipated U.S. jobless rate of 8.1 percent shook America on Friday morning. It was a stat not seen since December 1983 -- except in black America, which has had rates above 8.1 percent for all but six months since 2001. The unemployment rate for blacks in the United States hit 13.4 percent in February, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Friday.

The price of a GE share, $6.66, was less than the cost of single compact fluorescent flood light bulb. And battered GM shares slid yesterday yet another 15 percent to $1.86, not quite enough to buy a gallon of gasoline, after news that GM auditors warned the company might not remain a going concern without massive additional assistance from the U.S. government. While GM's fate might indeed mirror the nation's for now, the company could perish before an economic recovery arrives. "The big surprise is that large companies that we thought were well-capitalized with abundant access to credit and that could access the global market, none of that is helping them," said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, an investment research firm.

The administration's plan to stem the housing crisis depends on Congress amending the bankruptcy laws to allow judges to modify mortgages, in particular by reducing principal to make monthly payments more affordable. The so-called cramdown provision could put pressure on loan servicers to modify mortgages before borrowers file for bankruptcy. A major critique of the voluntary modification programs is that servicers aren't doing enough to help struggling borrowers. But servicers will likely be more aggressive in working with homeowners if they know that the borrowers can turn to judges for relief. But congressional Democrats, who first introduced a bill broadening judges' power two years ago, are running into trouble gathering the support needed to pass the legislation.
