G20 protesters in Pittsburgh demand nations create more jobs

[Blue_Tires]

PITTSBURGH — Protesters called on global leaders to do more to create jobs for the growing number of unemployed in the United States and globally at a peaceful march in Pittsburgh Sunday.

Leaders of 19 leading developed and developing economies and the European Union meet in the western Pennsylvania city Thursday and Friday for a G20 meeting to discuss how to improve financial market reform to avoid another economic meltdown like the one that rocked the global economy a year ago.

But while there are some early signs that recessions in the United States and elsewhere may be ending, protesters complained that the recovery was not creating enough jobs.

"(This) is a jobless recovery and there is the prospect of a permanent high unemployment economy unless a jobs program is enacted," Larry Holmes, of protest organizers Bail Out the People Movement, told Reuters.
