On July 23, FDIC closed 7 banks to take the tally of failed banks past the 100 mark. Last year this mark was crossed in October. The pace of bank closures this year is well ahead of that of 2009, which saw a total of 140 banks shuttered amid the recession and mounting loan defaults.
Regulators shut down banks in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Kansas, Nevada, Minnesota and Oregon. The seven bank seizures announced Friday bring to 103 the failures so far in 2010. The banks seized on Friday were Sterling Bank of Lantana, Florida; Crescent Bank and Trust Company of Jasper, Georgia; Williamsburg First National Bank of Kingstree, South Carolina; Thunder Bank of Sylvan Grove, Kansas; Community Security Bank of New Prague, Minnesota; SouthwestUSA Bank of Las Vegas, Nevada and Home Valley Bank of Cave Junction, Oregon, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The largest of the seven banks was Crescent Bank and Trust with 11 branches and about $1.01 billion in total assets and $965.7 million in total deposits. The smallest was Thunder Bank with just two branches and $32.6 million in total assets and $28.5 million in deposits.
The FDIC estimated the seven failures would add about $431 million to the tab for its deposit insurance fund.

Total nonfarm payroll employment declined by 125,000 in June, and the unemployment rate edged down to 9.5 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.

Both the number of unemployed persons, at 14.6 million, and the unemployment rate, at 9.5 percent, edged down in June.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for adult women (7.8 percent) declined, while the rates for adult men (9.9 percent), teenagers (25.7 percent), whites (8.6 percent), blacks (15.4 percent), and Hispanics (12.4 percent) showed little or no change.

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at 8.6 million, was little changed over the month but was down by 525,000 over the past 2 months. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a fulltime job.
In June, about 2.6 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, an increase of 415,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months.

The jackpot for Saturday, April 24th will be $20 million.
Update :
A 29-year-old Missouri convenience store clerk has stepped forward as the winner the $258.5 million Powerball jackpot.
Chris Shaw was introduced at Missouri Lottery headquarters Thursday as the winner of the Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night’s drawing.
Christopher “Chris” Shaw, 29, said he hardly ever buys Lottery tickets, but he decided to buy a couple after he completed his shift at Break Time, 1000 W. College St. in Marshall, around 7 p.m. April 21.
“I thought somebody is going to win; there are too many people buying tickets,” said Shaw, who has been a cashier at the Break Time for the past month. He previously worked as a semi-truck driver, but decided to take a pay cut to “come home and be with family.”
After work, Shaw purchased a soda, cigarettes and $5 worth of Powerball plays using Quick Pick. The very last combination on his ticket – 11, 34, 41, 49, 55 and Powerball 20 – was the winner.
Lottery officials say Shaw will have to choose between a one-time cash lump sum of nearly $125 million, or a 29-year, 30-installment annuity.
Break Time will receive $50,000 for selling the winning ticket. If Shaw chooses to take the lump sum amount, the state will receive $6 million in state income taxes.
Shaw holds the 26th Powerball jackpot ticket sold in Missouri, and he is the 297th Missouri Lottery-made millionaire overall. To date, the Missouri Lottery has awarded the second-most Powerball jackpots, totaling more than $1.5 billion, of all 44 Powerball members.
