Current numbers in context
People, it is not the Bush or Obama Recession. No one political party gave us the Housing Bubble or the Stock Market Bubble or the commodity bubble that still has not burst. It was the stupidity of both parties that signed off on legislation that allowed these bubbles in the first place.

No question about it. This Bush recession is one of the worst ever.
President Obama sure has his job cut out for him. If he gets us out of this one he would have to be considered one of the greatest presidents of all time
What a partisan hack.
How's that 7% unemployment rate coming along?
Wishful thinking!By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer Christopher S. Rugaber, Ap Economics Writer 2 mins ago
WASHINGTON The economy lost more jobs than expected in December while the unemployment rate held steady at 10 percent, as a sluggish economic recovery has yet to revive hiring among the nation's employers.
The Labor Department said Friday that employers cut 85,000 jobs last month, worse than the 8,000 drop analysts expected.
A sharp drop in the labor force, a sign more of the jobless are giving up on their search for work, kept the unemployment rate at the same rate as in November. Once people stop looking for jobs, they are no longer counted among the unemployed.
When discouraged workers and part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs are included, the so-called "underemployment" rate in December rose to 17.3 percent, from 17.2 percent in October. That's just below a revised figure of 17.4 percent in October, the highest on records dating from 1994.
