U.S. Economy Probably Lost Jobs in September for Ninth Month

By Shobhana Chandra

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. probably lost jobs in September for a ninth month as the credit crisis deepened the economic slump, economists said before a government report today.

Payrolls fell by 105,000 last month, the biggest decline in five years, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The Labor Department report, the last before the presidential election, may also show the unemployment rate was unchanged at a five-year high of 6.1 percent.

The world's largest economy may be headed for bigger job losses as the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression causes consumers and companies to retrench. A sinking labor market and rising borrowing costs raise the odds Federal Reserve policy makers will cut interest rates by the Oct. 28-29 meeting.
