The one-tenth of a percent increase is due to more people, perhaps encouraged by mostly positive economic news, resuming their search for work.   About 7 million Americans are counted as unemployed. Another 1.6 million are not working but not counted as officially unemployed because they have not sought jobs in the past four weeks.        Another 5 million people want full-time jobs but can find only part-time employment.   June&#039;s job gains were concentrated in health care, business services and restaurants.
