Jobless Rate Headed Toward 6%

Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian said the unemployment rate is headed toward 6 percent, as the year-long global financial market turmoil continues to have a growing effect on the U.S. economy as a whole.
"We now have three balance sheets all coming under pressure at the same time: housing, consumers, and the financial sector," he said.
