This data doesn't count all those that were "fired or terminated" for no reason but for the company not to pay "Unemployment Insurance" payment to the states? That is why there is a very far difference between the "job losses" every month and the Unemployment date each week. Last month, weekly job loss was only 250,000 compare to the 467,000 job loss in June 2009? ADP has the numbers more correctly every month.

Hon, you've never been a "sophisiticated yuppie". You've always just been poor bitter white trash.

Has anyone seen who's flippin' burgers now at your local fast food joint?

It's the so-called 'sophisticated' yuppie.

College students are being pulled out of the disco clubs and working behind the check-out lanes @Wal Mart and pushing carts @Target.

That's economic recovery?

Give me a break.

More good news:

It has also been reported that the Titanic has stopped sinking and remains stable at the bottom of the ocean. According to an unnamed administration offical this is a clear indication that their policy for preventing ships that hit icebergs from sinking is working.

Stimulus plan starting to work, republicans reportedly pee the pants scared. I think I'll buy some stock in "Depends" as the poor bitter republicans will probably be buying a lot more of their products in the near future.

Buy them for yourself. I am buying and selling real estate and making a killing right now. Lots of dumb democrats overpaid in my town and now they are all out of jobs. So I buy them cheap and then rent them to these same democrats. Love making money off of you lovable losers.

I'd suppose you think we'd be able to dig out of the Worst Economic Meltdown without problems? We're going to get out and we're going to be fine. Lets just remember that it was WALL STREET who got us into this... GREED and Big Corporations. When we again dig out let's NOT return to Trickle Down. That's the only REAL lesson we should all take from this.

[skyk-2009]

Man you have got to be completely NUTS! What got us INTO the WORST economic MELTDOWN since the Great Depression was BLIND STINKING GREED! Now YOU and so many like you would sit here DAY after DAY and call anyone on here a "Liberal" when we objected to the Constant Drum Beat of getting the Government off the Backs of the CEO's. They should pay taxes you said... They shouldn't have to live with Regulations YOU said. I don't know how long it'll take us to dig our way out this time but as far as I'm concerned the Republican Party is DEAD!

[skyk-2009]

Oh we're going to dig ourselves out of this just like we always have. We have a young President who is as cool under fire as anyone I've ever seen. He's going to get it done. What I can't understand is those who continue to look to and believe the one's who got us into this mess. Let's NOT kid ourselves like we did under Clinton. Greed, PURE SELFISH BLIND greed got us into BOTH messes. The LAST people we should be listening to right now is the Conservative Southern Leadership of the Republican Party.

As some just mentioned the real unemployment rate is between 15 & 17% I heard from an economist that it is 17.5 and going higher. Th problem the way that I understand it is the stimulus that is in play now only alotted 10% for new jobs, the balance which will be released at later a time was payback to the people that helped Obama get elected. This administration is a total joke and their actions show it. The Cap & tax bill should push us closer to the edge and the health care package will push us over. These congressional momo's need to be replaced starting in the next election, especially the one that laugh the idea that they were supposed to read the bills The jok will be on them.
