There are 3.3 Million Job Openings (Oct, 2011). (I know the months are off but it really is insignificant with the ratio.)
(Here is where you find the unemployment website in the Bureau of Labor Statistics press statement (13.3 million) http://www.bls.gov/...).
To give some context, the ratio was 1.1 in 12/2000, 1.8 12/2007, 3.7 12/2008 and 6.0 12/2009 see chart
THINK ABOUT THIS FACT! EVERY TIME YOU HEAR ONE OF THOSE HEARTLESS REPUBLICANS SAY THE UNEMPLOYED SHOULD JUST FIND A JOB!!!!!!!!!
