Unemployment rate is down to 7.7 percent

Good news for working people. The U.S. Government is reporting that the unemployment rate has dropped to 7.7 percent, the lowest in the past four years.

"I think this wonderful. I have struggled to find work and so have my friends," said John Colder, a Miami resident who works in construction.

"I hope the unemployment rate stays low. The recession was very hard of a lot of my friends," said Cole Henson, a Miami resident.
