Other than the one week with claims at 399,000 we have been over 400K for what seems like months. Watch for the unemployment rate to stay steady or even drop a little as people give up and leave the job market altogether out of despair. I had to let another person go this week and am hoping to go for a few weeks without more layoffs. I don't care what the so-called experts say we are back in recession. I am sure they will figure that out in 6 months or so when they pull their heads out of their academic rear ends.......its no wonder these so-called experts that are constantly surprised by the bad economic news are never named.

The percentage of people that have been without work for over 6 months is growing steadily and is the most alarming problem.

HOPEless and CHANGE for the worse......is it November 2012 yet?
