Unemployment

I just want to take this Labor Day to let everyone know how grateful I am to have a job. I know there are millions in our country that don’t and are struggling. As far as our leadership they seem to be clueless. On Thursday our vice president Joe Biden let us all know that because of the 787 billion dollar stimulus bill we have created or saved 750,000 jobs. WOW that’s great if you don’t look at the current unemployment growth. That same day unemployment was announced to have reached 9.7% from the 7.5% when the stimulus plan was passed. So lets say 150 million of us work that is a total job loss of 3 million people. Lets wake up people. -Brian
