Fellow travellers,
The unemployment numbers are out. Economists say they expected 125,000 jobs. Reports are the numbers are less than 1/5 of that.
What is the actual unemployment number now? The feds report 5.6%-- whatever that means.
I heard it was closer to 10% of work force if you add in all the people no longer counted because they have given up looking for work.
How much unemployment for young black men-- usually the biggest number of unemployed and the last demographic group to make gains getting work? Is it still 40%?
Bush is in California touting the value of two jobs added at a manufacturing plant he visited. Woohoo!
Two-- count em! That tax cut is working now.
Basta.
