Some Egyptians Admit Facing Depressing Choice in Runoff Election Jun 1st 2012, 13:58 CAIRO - After the promise of round one of Egypt's first post-revolution presidential election, a bitter debate has arisen among many voters over the relative merits - and demerits - of the final two candidates. The crowds on Tahrir Square last year were euphoric; they had forced their president of nearly 30 years to resign.

Boom or Bust: Will Expats Invest in Egypt's Economy? Jun 1st 2012, 14:39 For the first time in their history, Egyptians are about to freely choose their president. While the outcome is still anybody's guess, one thing is clear – whoever it might be, he will face the daunting task of rebuilding Egypt's economy, which took a tremendous hit during the uprisings of last year's Arab Spring. Egyptians living abroad, as many as 6.5 million of them, could provide a huge stimulus, but there are few indications about how deep, if at all, they are willing to reach into their ...

US Jobless Rate Up Slightly Jun 1st 2012, 13:43 The U.S. unemployment rate increased slightly by one-tenth of a percentage point to 8.2 percent in May.   Friday's report from the Labor Department also shows that the U.S. economy had a net gain of just 69,000 jobs, which is much less than most economists had predicted.
