STRAIGHT UP! As for the cencus worker going back on the dole, the government does a cruel trick on them. They're contract workers so when they're done, they don't get unemployment so not only will they not collect any benefits when they're done, but the government doesn't count them in the unemployment figures as well. This is all fuzzy math and not telling the whole truth as there may be little increase, it doesn't come near enough to cover the new workers entering. Remember those that have been looking for 2 years are on the verg of being employed by government standards though having no work to be found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-2285366515910203712010-05-07T22:41:36.872-04:002010-05-07T22:41:36.872-04:00From everything that I have read, it is going to t...From everything that I have read, it is going to take years for this number to lower. <br /><br />If he is lucky it will be at 7.5% when he is ready to run for re-election. <br /><br />I happen to live in area that has low unemployment.

He said nothing about his Stimulus package that he said would keep unemployment to 8% or less. Now he makes it sound good when the number rises. Yes more americans are back looking for work. Many have lost all their benefits and have no option other then look for work. <br /><br />That number will break above 10 shortly when a million or more high school seniors graduate from school. Thousands of census workers won't stay employed for more then a few months. They they go back on the unemployed rolls. <br /><br />Even that joke christina Rhomer was boasting about what a good thing it was that the number was higher @ 9.9%. The entire Obama administration is one big joke.Foxmuldar Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557890896261901343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-41725373992478959302010-05-07T21:21:25.823-04:002010-05-07T21:21:25.823-04:00Question?

Unemployment numbers are seasonally adjusted. If April typically shows more employment than March, then it's entirely possible that both numbers could rise.Steverinonoreply@blogger.com
