From the Bureau
In April, 159
metropolitan areas recorded lower unemployment rates than a year earlier, 143 areas had higher rates, and 29 areas had rates that were unchanged. Seventeen areas posted unemployment rates below 3.0 percent, with seven of these located in the Midwest and seven in the South. Twelve areas registered jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, eight of which were located in California and three were along the Mexican border in
other States. The national unemployment rate in April was 5.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
Virus Update
A variation on the Bugbear worm is wreaking more and greater havoc. Both McAfee and

New Combinations

Hot Numbers
Reuters reports that last Friday, Oracle Corp. launched a $5.1 billion takeover bid for archrival PeopleSoft. Oracle's (Nasdaq: ORCL) unsolicited cash offer was launched as a direct response to PeopleSoft's (Nasdaq: PSFT) decision, just days ago, to buy another major competitor, J.D. Edwards & Co. (Nasdaq:
JDEC), for $1.6 billion. That deal, if completed, would have vaulted PeopleSoft ahead of Oracle in the business software market.
