Behind the numbers,


that the gov't gives us, on unemployment, are the REAL numbers. While the pols say we are at 9.4%, if you count the people who have run out of unemployment ins, and those who have given up looking, as well as those who are only able to find part-time work, the number goes to 18.8%. If you count the 'underground' work force, that never had unemployment insurance, we are well over 20%. That is SCARY. And it is still going in only one direction. Hate to be pessimistic, but in trying to be realistic, I just don't see much good on the economic horizon, for a LONG time....

try Ohio.........Lucas County over 14%, but of course that the pols counting...My husband has been out of work since last Sept. He teaches part time at Owens College, which helps some. Employers can afford to be extemely choosy in hiring, since there is a boatload of candidates. Youth and degrees count over experience now.
