    I am concerned about Friday’s job number also. My best guess today was pretty negative. When we get unemployment figures for November, it will clock in at 7.3%. A HUGE jump I know, but the pace of layoffs in this country has picked up, and I believe it will be a shock to Washington and a shock to America.

    I know that the Brother from RI pointed they are over 9% already, and Cali has to be there as well. I had a 40 minute phone interview for a job in LA. The human resources manager was calling from North Carolina. She asked me at the end of the interview what is you unemployment rate out there. I said 8.2 officially but over 9% for sure now. She said only one applicant was working, everyone else was out of work.:no:

    The Human Resource manager where I'm working my piddly hourly job now qouted me an unemployment rate close to 11% here in Tampa FL. very soon.

    Many housing construction, mortgage and Personnel companies over here are the leading reason according to her.

    Thats pathetic.
    Be interesting to see how close she is on that.
