NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Businesses hired far fewer workers than expected in May, throwing into doubt the strength of the economic recovery.
Only 69,000 jobs were added last month, the weakest growth in a year. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2%, as people rejoined the labor force.
This morning on "Starting Point," Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) responds to the jobs numbers, and responds to a question from CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin if government layoffs are doing more harm than good for the economy.
