Slow steady job growth struggles to lift economy
The US adds 103000 jobs in December, unemployment falls to 9.4 percent as more people exit the labor force. Over three months the pace averages 128000 monthly, just enough to keep up with population growth but far from the gains needed to reduce joblessness significantly. Employers gained 1.1 million in 2010 while 7.2 million fewer jobs remain since December 2007.
