The U.S. economy lost 20,000 jobs in April, significantly less than the 81,000 jobs lost in March.

Eight out of 10 Americans think the country is on "the wrong track," according to a poll by CBS News and The New York Times. Only four of 10 felt the same way in 2002.

Employers cut 80,000 jobs in March, making the unemployment rate rise to 5.1 percent, the highest percentage in three years.

Over 60,000 people lost their jobs in February, the most in five years, according to a report by the Labor Department.
