Oh, please don't give me that rubbish about unemployment being down.
Tell that to all of the financial and manufacturing workers who have either lost their jobs already, or about to.
Did I mention retail workers?
Silly me for leaving them out.
And when the official unemployment stats stop counting those doing three or four hours per week, as "employed", I will start giving notice to those stats.
It's better to be realistic and not live in some sort of politically enhanced fools paradise.
