Yes, and everyone in the world, except obviously you, knows November and December are loaded with temp workers for the holiday season. They mean next to nothing in the big scheme of things, no matter what the numbers. So I guess what happens in November and December almost don't seem to matter either. I'm sure that the fact that the markets were up were of great solace to the 10% unemployed and 20% underemployed in the country. Hmmm, jobless recovery, where have I heard that before. -G

Tell it to someone who has a job. We're what's called a "small business" (General Contractor...residential.......23 yrs) and our business has fallen off 83% since The One was ushered into office. I'll never forget the warning I received when I was doing my on line Dept of Revenue filing. The first month I declared 0 income the powers that be basically said ......... If you're lying (that you didn't collect any sales tax) and we find out, you will go to jail. Personally, I think govt paid workers should be very nervous.
