US GDP assessment has been enhanced. The US GDP in the first quarter of 2009 reduced 5.5%, while previously it was expected at 5.7%. The situation when the decline of the real GDP exceeds 5% for two quarters in a row is an unprecedented one since the end of the WW2. Besides, in the first quarter the US nominal GDP demonstrated decline for the first time in fifty years.

Jobless rate hits records in the USA. During the week ended June 21, the number of first-time applications for welfare from the US citizens reached 627 thousand.
