May unemployment rate dips to 5.8 percent in mixed jobs data
The Labor Department reported 41,000 new jobs in May, ending a two month payroll rise streak, while the jobless rate fell from 6.0 to 5.8 percent. Economists warn the uptick may be temporary as hiring remains slow and long term unemployed grow. Wall Street fell with the Dow and Nasdaq sliding on the news.

Democrats warned of Senate defeat, while a separate GOP effort would extend the exemption and cap rates, with President Bush promoting the move in Iowa.
