U.S. President Barack Obama (R) speaks about monthly employment numbers and the Recovery Act as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner looks on at the Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington July 2, 2010. U.S. private payrolls rose less than expected in June and overall employment fell for the first time this year as thousands of temporary census jobs ended, showing the economic recovery is failing to gain traction, the Labor Department said on Friday.
