Unemployment rate

[liljp617]

If the US doesn't start doing more to stimulate manufacturing and the creation of goods, rather than services, we're going to be stuck in a rut for quite a long time.

We've had an overwhelmingly predominant service industry economy for decades and done just fine.  Markets have their ups and downs -- it's part of the game.

has anyone heard anything else about the unemployment extension yet? if it passed or not?

[manohman]

I do think that it will be a little longer than six months as companies will restructure their hiring procedures and move forward cautiously with hiring practices. But I truly believe that things are starting to turn around.

i heard on the yahoo main page

that the recession is pretty much over

its now bak to recovery mode

for just go onthat page and u will see wat i am talking about

o and for those of u looking for a job

instead of just looking online

one tip is just call the employer

i hear that most jobs arent found online

but just by cold calling

or even networking

I have followed this for a while now and can tell youthat it is not expected to even level off (stop increasing) for about another 12 months. Unemployment is expected t reach anywhere between 11 and 20 percent

i know it's really depressing.

I certainly do not expect this economy to improve until late 2010. Being unemployed myself everything is so difficult. I have been applying for jobs for the past 8 months and had no luck. Two jobs that I applied to actually laid off employee approximately 2 months after I submitted my application. Everyday more and more individuals are loosing their jobs. It is really sad.

Change will only come with force.  "Force, my friends, is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authority is derived. Naked force has resolved more issues throughout history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion that violence never solves anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always pay with their lives and their freedom." - Robert A. Heinlein

Everyone needs to educate themselves about making money online,
then we can all run our own businesses at home, and say forget the workforce
world.

I am real close to going to an under the table f#(% the government style when it comes to work. I could very easily find a nanny cash job ... 

[monnee]

The govt. needs to stop all the pork spending and fleecing of america and use the $ for job creation.

[tuyetmai]

Do you see the unemployment rate dropping in the next 6 months?

I don't think so because there are more people unemployed now.  Even though more jobs available will not cure sooner then 6 months.

[gurgelj]

I dont see it dropping. I am glad I have a job

It is funny this is a topic on here considering the reason we are all on here is to make up for lost wages at work.
