Unemployment Rate Tops 10 Percent as 16 Million People Look for Jobs, Worse Since 1983

- How many jobs have you saved Obama?

"Nearly 16 million people can't find jobs, the Labor Department said Friday, pushing the unemployment rate over 10 percent for the first time since 1983.

The Labor Department said Friday that the economy shed a net total of 190,000 jobs in October, less than the downwardly revised 219,000 lost in September. August job losses were also revised lower, to 154,000 from 201,000.

But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists' estimates. It's the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years."... Read full article »

    Obama told us he had fixed the recession and bragged about all the jobs he created. How can people still support this usurper?

    I thought we were out of recession.. The Stimulus created 1 million jobs and everything was moving forward.... GIVE ME A BREAK... I don't know where they think it's getting better.. Companies are not hiring, they are restructuring and creating more work for those that have jobs. Companies are trying to become more efficient with their current workforce and no one is hiring. People are now working harder, longer, doing 2-3 jobs while still making the same pay. Companies are waiting for how much more they are going to have to pay in taxes, how much it's going to cost them to have mandated healthcare.. This is not going to increase jobs, it's going to eliminate jobs, reduce pay.. Comapnies are not going to keep hiring if it's going to cost them more and more.. It's common sense.. This is such a joke and all of us are the one's left out to pay and pay... We don't have any more money to keep paying and paying..

    This is so ridiculous...

    Obama is a disaster when it comes to the economy. I can't tell if it's intentional or incompetence. Either way, his agenda must be opposed at all costs. He must fail for America to succeed!

    This is how unemployment is calculated:
    http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_ht...

    "the Government conducts a monthly sample survey called the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure the extent of unemployment in the country"

    they are still blaming bush. unemployment is now over 15% in five states. michigan is near 20%.

    cap & trade will send what few union jobs we still have to china while doubling the unemployment.

    voters, put your reps on notice they are gone if they vote for cap & trade. pelosi hinted that cap & trade may already be a done deal.

    Detroit has begun to reemploy in the auto trades. As of September the unemployment rate in Mich was 15.3%. Just wanted to set the record straight.

    I raved you only because you gave facts on Ford's profit rather than an opinion in your original comment.
