How is the American economy and unemployment doing right now?

What’s the unemployment rate, is it getting better? If not would ever get better and how long would it take? And finally, is the economy picking up?

  1. 9.8 and not getting better

  2. Still reeling from the fiscal disaster (recession) bush left behind.

  3. The obama administration wants high unemployment and a slow recovery, to create more dependence on government for assistance.

    obama has just insured high unemployment for another year by extending benefits for another 13 months.

    Because we all know everyone getting a government paycheck votes for democrats.

  4. Supposedly we are in a “jobless” recovery. What’s that mean?

  5. Must be great, since using that idiot Pelosi’s ‘logic’ that unemployment benefits ‘stimulate the economy’ stretching them out to 3 years long will do wonders for the economy.

  6. Great if you are a wall street fat cat or a banker

    sucks if you need a job, unemployment up to9.8%, and it will get worse.

  7. Control the energy, you control the people – he did however give money to other countries so they can drill.
    Control the food, control the people – bill S.510 – opencongress.org for bill
    Control the airwaves, control the people – FCC is going to pass net neutrality Dec. 21 after the courts and Congress rejected it; FCC is also wanting to enforce a ‘values test’ to ALL shows and news outlets. If they don’t pass the values, the lose their license. – http://www.theblaze.com/stories/power-grab-fcc-commissioner-calls-for-gov-run-“values-test”-control-over-minority-characters-programming-scheduling-of-tv/
    Control the banks, control the people – Financial reform bills bypass Congress and give the President power to shutdown or bailout any business he sees fit
    High unemployment enslaves people to the government via welfare and 99+weeks of unemployment. 40 million+ Americans on foodstamps.

  8. Economy is on life support with borrowed money. Major deflationary crash is imminent. U3 (9.8%) is not an accurate indicator of unemployment. There are many people who want a job but they do not qualify for benefits and they are not counted! Real unemployment is about 18-22% right now.

    Employment is a function of money supply. With a deflating money supply, existing prices and salaries cannot be sustained. This is a deflationary crash. M3 is deflating.
