WASHINGTON - The number of newly laid-off workers seeking jobless benefits rose last week, though the government said its report again was distorted by the timing of auto plant shutdowns.

Unemployment insurance claims have declined steadily since the spring, but most private economists and the Federal Reserve expect jobs to remain scarce and the unemployment rate to top 10 percent by year-end.

You have to ask yourself how many jobs are going to be loss before these idiots in the White House and congress realize that all their spending is killing our economy and country.

What's funny to me is if the 635,000 figure was met, they'd say, "well....that's what we expected."

Like that's a good thing on its own.

When’s that economic report coming out? The one the White House is sitting on? That ought to confirm it.

Housecleaning in 2010, Pelosi must go! After that, ti should be easy to send Oboomba packing in 2012.

Misery will continue until Obama is gone. He has created so much trouble for the future. Not one day has passed without him creating racial tension.

he lies and lies and is not called out by people as a flat out liar.

I walked into my client's small business yesterday afternoon shortly after closing and got in on the back end of a "come to jesus" business meeting. Pretty much from what I gathered, all 22 of his employees were there.

He said that his CPA and his partner have decided to let four (4) employees go if his taxes for his business (not personal) or healthcare costs go up. The 5.4% rise for millionares would seriously affect his business if implemented. He said that those employees will have the choice of either healthcare only in lieu of a paycheck, paycheck only with no healthcare, or hit the door.

This guy's newest employee has been with him for only ten years.

He is strangling the US economy and markets when they need exactly the opposite, to be freed up with tax cuts etc. But the American sheeple voted for socialism and they got it (those that know what socialism is).

Lies! It must be. 0 said last night that he had “stabilized” the economy. Those evil Republicans are probably filing multiple unemployment claims fraudulently to make 0 look bad. ;-)

“....before these idiots in the White House and congress realize that all their spending is killing our economy and country....”
The ghouls, goblins and demons that make up this band of “idiots” know exactly what they’re doing and its being done deliberately. We, as a nation, are being systematically destroyed without a shot ever being fired...all done from within utilizing our own form of govt. It has been in the planning for many years and is now coming home to roost. Pretty sad, really.
