New data shows the recession is far from over, especially for the nation’s banks.

In the first quarter of 2009, six out of every 10 banks in the U.S. were less well prepared to withstand possible loan losses than they had been at the end of 2008, according to a new analysis by msnbc.com and the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University in Washington.

Overall, bad real estate loans rose another 22 percent in the quarter, according to the report.

The country’s 10 largest banks made $10.2 billion — the vast majority of reported bank earnings this quarter. The more than 8,000 remaining banks lost $2.6 billion, according to the analysis.
