Our company did not layoff, but we all got 20% reductions in pay. That’s got to affect the economy and there should be some sort of “number” for that.

I HATE this administration...they are EVIL!

Yes people, there is EVIL in the world and (by far) the LARGEST cause of genocide/murder, etc is because of corrupt GOVERNMENT...which is all of them!! PERIOD!!

I read this article this morning and have been a little depressed ever since, no pun intended. Discouraging information.

[frogjerk]

The Bureau of Labor Statistics preliminary estimate for job losses for June is 467,000, which means 7.2 million people have lost their jobs since the start of the recession. The cumulative job losses over the last six months have been greater than for any other half year period since World War II, including the military demobilization after the war. The job losses are also now equal to the net job gains over the previous nine years, making this the only recession since the Great Depression to wipe out all job growth from the previous expansion.

Obama has officially killed all the jobs created by W.

How is that “hopeee, changeee thing” working out for you all?!!!

Predicting the economy by reference to unemployment numbers is to drive by looking in the rearview mirror.

We may be skidding into a cataclysm but the unemployment numbers will not help us know that. They will lag the recovery by 6 to 18 months-or the nadir for that matter.

The economy cannot be worse than I think it is. I believe it is WAY worse than any goobermint data shows. Unemployment is really more like 14% and will go even higher as severance packages run out. It is also clear to me that in reality we are in the 3rd quarter of a depression - at least in much of the country.
