Unemployment up ot 10.2% in the US...
|
|
|
|
|
And that is only people who are actively looking for jobs, and does not take into account people that have given up on looking...if those are included the rate is well into the double digits, probably 12 or 13%
This is the highest unemployment rate in the US in 25 years.

Yeah I work as security in a big building in Boston and in the past 2 months we have had one company lay off 5,000 people world wide which was 71 people in the building I work in. Another company laid off on Wed. Its getting bad. The guy that owns our building had to sell it cause he couldn't afford to keep it.
