Unemployment Continues To Climb
« on: July 02, 2009, 06:06:53 AM »

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.

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.

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.

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%.
