In June, Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled Gilani was ineligible for office after it found him guilty of contempt for refusing its ...

Economy - Voice of America economy-and-business

US Jobless Rate High, Election Effect Uncertain Aug 3rd 2012, 13:26 The U.S. unemployment rate has now been above the unusually high level of 8 percent since the first full month of President Barack Obama's White House tenure.
