The unemployment rate is officially at 9 percent.
In addition, a broad measure of unemployment including workers who want a job but have stopped looking and those working part time for economic reasons rose to 19.3 percent.
This is very grim. Let's put this into its proper perspective because a 9 percent unemployment rate doesn't really sink in.
What if there were a breaking newsflash on TV while you were watching "American Idol," and the headline was "Everyone in Utah is now unemployed!"
You would look at your spouse and say, "Oh wow! This is bad. Those poor people in Utah. I had no idea the unemployment situation was this awful! I thought we were in a recovery!"
Sadly, that would be horrible, but the reality is much more grim than that. The true unemployment picture is absolutely abysmal.

The same minds that created the problem...are not capable of the solution.
Gonna make life rough for those out in Flyover Country...until there are enough of us unemployed...despite an “official rate” of 7%......
The only newsflash I expect from American Idol is pedophile Steven Tyler being arrested for having sex with 15 year old contestants.
What a grand idea, send 15 year olds to a Sin City hotel with a pedophile.
Crook...that says it all.
