AS I HAVE BEEN SAYING.....and, of course the actual unemployment from MY survey has unemployment over 23%.
 
For my book on the present GREATEST (DELUSIONAL) DEPRESSION, I interview people.

As I keep telling you, we are in a depression.
 
Notice this comes out AFTER the elections.

WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate has surpassed 10 percent for the first time since 1983 — and is likely to go higher.

Nearly 16 million people can't find jobs even though the worst recession since the Great Depression has apparently ended. The Labor Department said Friday that the economy shed a net total of 190,000 jobs in October, less than the downwardly revised 219,000 lost in September. August job losses were also revised lower, to 154,000 from 201,000.

But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists' estimates. It's the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.

Reagan has been in office for two years in 1983; Job loss began ten months before Obama took office. Of course the right wing continues to lie, rewrite history and bloviate the bull shit. Right Frank?
 
I have not yet looked at the numbers but unemployment often spikes at the bottom of a recession because those who have left the workforce and are not counted in the survey come back into the workforce to look for jobs.

That may be happening here, or it may be that things are getting worse, I don't know. However, don't assume that the general trend towards a bottoming in employment conditions is in any way changing simply because the rate of unemployment spikes.

However, unemployment is likely to stay high for some time.

As for NFPs, 190k were lost but the prior two months were revised upwards by 90k, giving a net gain of -100k, the lowest level in a year.
 
How many brothels has ACORN opened?

How many underage Illegal Alien prostitutes have found work, a home and a voter ID card thanks to Democrats?

Well Toro, that's a very optimistic opinion but to tell you the truth, I talk to people all day long on the days I work and I have yet to see anyone get a job. College grads are getting very frustrated, some colleges have even cancelled their work fairs, business is not recruting, even dental colleges are not able to place their recent grads. It's a pathetic situation out there and I live in one of the states that has been hit hard, but not nearly as hard as many others.

The White House spins these terrible numbers and when they do that, they anger the American people, because we are the ones living it.

We have a growing tent city springing up in my area and winter is coming on.

Regards to Maple poster, who is actually closer to right. Regards to Maple poster, for also indirectly creating the basis for understanding, "Jobs saved and created."

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

The unemployment rate, notice, is based upon a population survey. From the four and five percent unemployment levels of Bush-Procurements-Policy-Gone-Mad(?), (unless it's just military procurements policy, madness as usual, plus Bush military procurments policy): The ten percent Obama levels have now been reached.

In the last 8 months of Bush-Whomever: The increase of the rate was 2.0 percent. February, 2009, is actually Bush--but who is to notice any difference, in America(?)! So in the first Obama 8 months, the increase of the unemployment rate is 2%, and the job-loss rate is slowing. Weekly new unemployment claims are falling. So if Obama-Biden has had no effect, then anyone should have expected an unemployment rate approaching 12% , or on its speedy way: And that is not happening. Analysts expect job-growth to happen in the time-frame of days and months. Bush Adminstration accounts for 4% increase, to 8%, and Obama Administration is on the hook, just barely, for 2% increase.

There is no reason not expect a turn-around. Between the Conservative Socialists, and the liberal and lefty Socialists, there has been a $3.0 tril. bail-out total, already spent: Out of $11.0 tril., already committed. The Conservative Socialists, in the GOP, were just as incompetent as their apparent, Italian, Pefected(?) Model.

Most of the $11.0 tril. is Obama-Biden, and Obama-Biden yet to happen. That is already committed(?)! Something has had to have happened with the money. More is on the way!

For example, apparently a wealthy prince of Nigeria. . . . .(Apparently all kinds of people can qualify, in a liberal Democratic Administration!)

"Crow, James Crow! Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Anyone is, however, reminded that, "Home is where the hearth was." in the USA!)

When two to three million people a month are filing for unemployment insurance, Unemployment is not bottoming. It is rapidly growing and is a sure fire indication of economic collapse.
