I am really getting nervous, nutty. Things are getting worse around here - not better. More and more people I know are losing their jobs, businesses are closing, almost every other house on the block is in foreclosure....... I was hopeful for a while that I would get my life back, I don't see that happening any time in the near future now.stillnutty wrote:399,000 Yeah right!! Why did n t they say, 399,999!!!

Sadly RI I agree 100 percent with you. We have been just existing for so long now. I am coming to grips that this IS my life now, the new worry is how much longer can I even stay at this level? Not long I fear.
The political machine is in lock down until Nov 2012 and after. There is no way You, I and millions can make it to then. What hurts the most is they know this, and still do nuttin.

Also the few exhaustees that I know of that have even got interviews are going for 20 hr, min wage jobs. Of course they realize that this will be just enough income to stop food stamps and if they are lucky enough to have it, Medicaid. I trully believe that very soon work search, even for these type jobs will be put in effect. It will be THEIR way of cutting our so called entitlements!! I know this is way of topic, and I m sorry, but if I don t get this out, I m gonna blow!!

Yeah, and it was revised... UPWARDS. I suppose they made such a big deal last week about that number falling below 400k, they didn't have the heart to revise it above 400k, where that figure REALLY belongs. And this week's jobs report was worse than expected too. I'm sure this won't bode well for the stock market.

Will UE rate go back to 9.2% since it dropped to 9.1% when the new unemployment clainms went to 400,000.

Who knows. That figure seems to have a mind of its own. When the summer jobs come to an end though, that will surely raise the "official" unemployment rate, unless they seasonally adjust that too.
