Another 473,000 folks out of work.
WHERE ARE THE JOBS OBAMA PROMISED???
This makes how many who became unemployed since obama was sworn in, 3 MILLION. The unemployment rate was around 5 percent when G.W. left office and it is bumping against the 10 percent mark - double the rate when obama took office.

....and Uncle Eg0 will continue to blame GWB for the "mess" he "inherited". :banghead:
Well, the idiots voted for hope & change. They got the latter, and the former isn't working out so well.
-
The unemplyment rate in Ocala Florida is at 13%...Thanks a FREAKING lot Obama...I piss on your hope and change...
-
Give it time, the stimulus package will kick in any
day week month year decade century now.
-
My company has laid-off 18% of its employees, and they're probably not finished. The fear of being in the next round is palpable every day.
-
But the rate of increase in people getting laid off is getting smaller, so that proves that 0Bama's policies are working. (or something like that)[/lib spin mode]

Many of the college grads and young that overwhelmingly voted for this socialist will have a tough time finding a good paying job in this depressed job market.The hope and change thingy is not working out too well for them.
-
Mine graduated this past May. He knows how fortunate he is to have found a full time job.....but he's smart, honest and hard working.
-
You would be suprised how many of those people that can't find jobs or being furloughed, still can't see it being Obama's fault. I know a conductor who was furloughed because the coal buisness is down, general freight also. The IDIOT still wants to blame Bush and the GOP.
-
Upon the release of the new unemployment numbers, the DOW dropped 200 points.
-
I had heard it was 9½% unemployment. That doesn't include the people that have been unemployed for o long that they have fallen off of the unemployment roles. I'll bet the ACTUAL figure is in excess of 15%.
