“Unemployment is the No. 1 economic issue right now,” Michael Feroli, the chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., told the InvestmentNews editorial board last week. “It's actually been the No. 1 economic issue for a couple of years now.”

Mr. Feroli is absolutely correct.

In terms of priorities, unemployment trumps declining home values, escalating gasoline prices and the prospect of inflation. It even trumps the ballooning federal budget deficit, although no one would ever know it with all the chest thumping and political posturing coming from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill.
