Record High Unemployment Numbers

The number of unemployed is at a record high today with jobless claims rising past 5.3 million. It is shall we say a sad day. The government plans to add $25/week to workers on unemployment. Actually, many states are running out of money.

Largest unemployment increases occur in New York, California, and Oregon due to a slow down in construction. Analysts say our rate of decline is continuing to accelerate in a downward direction.
