good guess, RatMan on 6.0% unemployment
now that the election is secure, time to clean up the data
but a point of detail on job data...

ongoing claims are official numbers
jobless rate is from random sample of the masses
where a 24yrold kid who works 6 hrs/week is called "employed"

with all the goony data they supply, I simply dont know the source of their employment numbers
but good guess
I think the unemploymt rate will rise toward 8-9%
it could hit 10% if the car sector disassembles
