US Unemployment - Page 15

I know in my part of the country we just had a major bank announce lay offs for almost 2,000 people. This will not help our job rate at all and the unemployment percentage is bound to grow.

Add Kagan, subtract Romer

Christina Romer was one of the geniuses behind the stimulus, and the one responsible for the projections that said if the stimulus passed we'd never go over 8% unemployment. She's stepped down.

Bob Herbert: The Unemployment Horror Show:

"When you combine the long-term unemployed with those who are dropping out and those who are working part-time because they can't find anything else, it is just far beyond anything we've seen in the job market since the 1930s." Ref. Source 1

Unemployment US

I did not like the unemployment numbers that came out today. I do not think we are gaining jobs like the President and Congress think we are. Talk about them being totally out of touch with the real working class people.

US Unemployment

I haven't expected much for the working class in this economic environment. All the focus has been on big business and finance. They are all doing fine as they have the entire globe to work with, whereas the local economies are suffering with depression and stagnation.

The only way I can see out is if we can break free of the multi nationals grip.

A sticky wicket to be sure.

I believe that the administration and the Congress of this nation is getting more and more out of touch with the citizens. The Congress and Administration seem to think that only the big corporation and large banks deserve to be bailed out while the citizens continue to suffer.
