THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC, A CENTURY LATER

Sobering message with U.S. job gains

Employers wary of hiring amid rising fuel prices and health care debate

Tapping a haunted legacy

LAHARDANE, IRELAND

Although signs had pointed to a strengthening U.S. economy earlier this year, the jobs report on Friday came with a message: Dont get ahead of yourself. American employers added a disappointing 120,000 jobs in March, about half the gains posted in each of the preceding three months. The unemployment rate, which comes from a separate survey of households rather than employers, slipped to 8.2 percent from 8.3 percent, as a lower portion of the population was looking for work. The slowdown suggests that employers remain cautious about hiring as they digest the impact of rising gasoline prices and uncertainty about health care and pension costs. The U.S. jobs report was sobering news as well for Europe, which this week received several strong reminders that its sovereign debt crisis and government austerity measures remain a drag on employment and the broader economy. As long as the American economy remains weak and Chinese growth slows, struggling European economies will have to fend for themselves. Global stock markets grew skittish this week as Spains ballooning debt level and the countrys weak bond offering Wednesday raised the specter of a deepening economic slump in Europe. The European Central Bank decided Wednesday to leave its main interest rate unchanged, a reflection of concerns about the broader euro zone, where the economy is sputtering and credit is still

tight. The Bank of England followed suit on Thursday, keeping its interest rate at a record low and maintaining an assetpurchasing program intended to stimulate the British economy. Bleak as the U.S. jobs picture may be, unemployment in the euro zone is worse. According to data published Monday by Eurostat, the European Unions statistics office, the jobless rate in February among the 17 members of the currency zone reached its highest level in nearly 15 years 10.8 percent, up 0.1 percentage point from January. The rate was 5.7 percent in Germany, but in Spain it was nearly 24 percent, the highest level in the European Union. In the Union as a whole, unemployment in February stood at 10.2 percent of the working population, up from 10.1 percent in January, Eurostat said. Ben S.

By recalling grief, village hopes to revive economy for younger generation

BY DOREEN CARVAJAL

For decades, abandoned stone cottages were the only mark of the Addergoole Fourteen, young emigrants who fled the dark bogs of County Mayo with dreams of fortune in America and steerage tickets aboard the Titanic steamer setting sail from its last port of call in Queenstown, Ireland. Their ruined homesteads dot the glen below Nephin mountain in western Ireland. For generations, only silence salved the pain after Addergoole Parish lost 11 of its 14 neighbors and kin aboard the Titanic when it sank on April 15, 1912, and more than 1,500 passengers died.
WORLD NEWS

Today local history is repeating itself, with new waves of young people abandoning the unspoiled woodlands to escape the financial crisis in Ireland for jobs abroad. People observe ruefully that there are more goodbye parties here than birthday celebrations, with local people departing along with 76,400 others from Ireland last year record numbers bound for Canada, New Zealand, Australia, England and the United States. But something fundamental is changing. Dozens of descendants of the Titanic passengers are now speaking openly about their loss and their Titanic history as an unlikely economic lifeline that might help hold on to the younger generation. The Addergoole Titanic Society formed 10 years ago when newcomers realized the region was losing its history has vastly expanded its ambitions from ringing a mournful church bell on Titanic anniversaries to organizing a week of activities this Sunday that in-

ONLINE: REMEMBERING THE DISASTER

She had expected a job in a hotel. But when Valentina arrived here two months ago from Romania, the man who helped her get here a man she had considered her boyfriend made it clear that the job was on the side of the road. He threatened to beat her and to kill her children if she did not comply. And so she stood near a roundabout recently, her hair in a greasy ponytail, charging 30, or $40, for intercourse, 20 for oral sex. For me, life is finished, she said later that evening, tears running down her face. I will never forget that I have done this.

La Jonquera used to be a quiet border town where truckers rested and the French came looking for a deal on handpainted pottery and leather goods. But these days, prostitution is big business here, as it is elsewhere in Spain, where it is essentially legal. While the rest of Spains economy may be struggling, experts say, prostitution almost all of it involving the ruthless trafficking of foreign women is booming, exploding into public view in small towns and big cities. The police recently rescued a 19-year-old Romanian woman from traffickers who had tattooed a bar code on her wrist and the amount she still owed them about 2,000. In the past, most customers were

The 17-story-tall mausoleum being built to hold the remains of Venezuelas national hero, Simn Bolvar, looks to many people in Caracas like the worlds biggest skateboard ramp. To others, it evokes a parking garage, a shopping mall, a bridal veil, a sailing ship or a drive-in movie screen. Some simply call it an outrage. But to its creators, it is an eloquent tribute to the father of the nation. global.nytimes.com/americas
