Gee Kenneth, I guess when Gallup polled those 18K people by phone they ran out of quarters to call the the millions of others who are unemployed.

You really are a partisan knucklehead! LOL!

Kenneth, Since you rely so heavily on Gallup Polls I thought you would like to know that they also found that the majority of Americans continue to give President Obama low approval ratings for his handling of the federal deficit, the economy, and taxes

Unemployment = 8.8%

Underemployment = 17.2%

Does this mean that there is now 26% of employable people who are not employed in the jobs they were trained in.

Does this mean that a man trained for a $60,000.00 per year job is now working for $20,000.00------if he could get the work-------i.e. flipping hamburgers at the local burger place?

It doth seem that using these two figures 26% of eligible American workers are not working or employed at wages significantly lower than their former jobs.

26% is a rather hefty amount-------don't you think so Kenneth?????

Update on Unemployment, December 3rd, 2010.

Job creation comes in way below expectations forcing markets to reevaluate recent bullish data.
