I have a ? about the unemployment rate. I'm thinking that a lot of reservists have to be temporarily replaced, since there have to be some employers who can't just endure a 6 month hole in their work force. That should soak up some unemployed workers, so I'm thinking maybe the jobs picture is a bit worse than it appears. Since I said I had a ?, yes, no or maybe? Rat

<<<We have some mutual fund monkey coming in today to talk about our retirement plan and why you need to stay invested for the long term i remember an HR guy coming around talking to the warehouse guys about the pension plan back in '87 after the crash then...one of the workers reminds him about the crash, ooh, watching the HR guy have to dance out of that was one of my best work memories -g- "well, the money is invested by the best people who know how to invest it the best"...
