The number of jobs lost in June was 467,000 -- an amount that topped both the total for May and analysts&#39; optimistic projections of 365,000.  &lt;p&gt;June&#39;s results ended four straight months of steady erosion in the jobless figures.  The job market had seemed poised for recovery -- between January and May, the monthly total dropped from 741,000 to 345,000 -- but now all the balls are back in the air.  One slight positive: the overall unemployment rate crept up only 0.1%, to 9.5%.  Cut now to a more alarming figure: 16.5%.  That&#39;s a &quot;truer&quot; estimate of unemployment in America (known in governmental circles as U-6) that includes both &quot;traditional&quot; and &quot;non-traditional&quot; unemployment.  (That latter category encompasses persons who want a job but have stopped actively searching for one, and those who are only working part-time because they that&#39;s all they can get.)  John Silvia, the chief economist at Wachovia Corporation quoted by The New York Times, said he didn&#39;t forsee &quot;any job growth outside of health, education and government spending through the end of the year.&quot;&lt;p&gt;Since December 2007, more than 6.5 million people have been separated from their workplaces. The country is now bursting with 14.7 million unemployees from all walks of life -- and almost 4.4 million of them have languished without a full-time salary for more than six months. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
