                <media:description>Unemployed Americans line up as they wait to gain entry to meet prospective employers at the Los Angeles Career Fair on March 23, 2010. US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has recently warned jobless Americans they face a torrid year ahead, predicting continued high unemployment levels despite advances &quot;sometime this spring.&quot; Speaking in Congress, Geithner said some improvements in the decimated US job market would come soon, but not enough to eat into the near double-digit unemployment that has brought the crisis into ordinary Americans&apos; homes. He warned that more than 100,000 jobs need to be created each month to push the jobless rate down from its current level of 9.7 percent.

Wall Street stocks plunged again March 18, 2020 as the economic toll from the coronavirus mounts and economists warn of a deep recession.
