Last month, the number of unemployed people in America dropped even faster than expected, according to statistics of the Department of Labour. Even though economists predicted a loss of 175.000 jobs, the amount of jobless people now hit the miserable number of 263.000. The majority of the losses have been counted in the construction sector, but also the industry and retail business were hit hard. While this recent downswing is, historically seen, agonizingly large, it still is an improvement compared to the beginning of this year, when an astonishing 700.000 jobs a month faded away.

Good effort: easy-to-read and clear focus on one message with a captivating end.
Accurate use of linking words and adjectives/adverbs.
Some phrases are styistically a bit weaker: e.g. 'losses have been counted' but these are offset by good idiomatic expressions such as 'hit hard'.
Mind that in English, numbers take commas instead of full stops: 700,000 jobs.
