Re: 2. With people paying more attention to politics, and seeing the strong potential for a Romney win, or at the least a Republican takeover of the Senate, people, who may have been out of work for the last months or years, have come to the realization that their gravy train, namely unemployment benefits, will no longer be extended or supported. So, it's those workers trying to get ahead of the coming tide.

If you look up the Federal Emergency Unemployment Extension you'll see that it ends around Jan 14th. Those who are on this program would have to take whatever they can get at this point.

Anybody who runs out of regular Unemployment now and goes onto this Federal Emergency Unemployment will only be able to collect until the above mentioned date (it's not a situation where if they start it now they get the 99 weeks or whatever amount of weeks the emergency aid offered. It goes only to Jan 14 whether you go on Emergency UE now, or back in august or during the Christmas week). I would also take this into consideration.

So I think that would support my theory simply because very few will wait until the last moment to find that job...maybe that’s me being too generous with work ethic.
