WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Labor Department releases the monthly unemployment report this morning. And it is expected to show more job losses in September.

Analysts expect to see that some 175,000 jobs were trimmed from payrolls. The jobless rate is expected to go up from 9.7 to 9.8 percent.

Economists say that the economy has begun to grow again, but it will be several more months before job growth resumes.
