The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent in November, down from 10.2 percent in October. Are you encouraged by or wary of this news? Almost eight million Americans have lost their jobs since the recession began about two years ago. What do you think it will take to jumpstart hiring at this point? How have you been handling the current job market?

  • Washington is always trying to push up the Dow, by all means, so that those New Yorkers and their merry men can celebrate and get drunk.

  • Wow down to 10%....gee....is that because of temporary holiday hires? Kinda like the home sales up stories....gee..is that because that was the 1st month of the home shopping season?

    Eat the shit up uneducated American masses....lol.

  • You are real big on name calling, got any productive solutions?

  • How very optimistic of you.

  • They need lower health insurance premiums too, but people ignore that.

  • Who are you, John McCain? If you avert a disaster, that is a positive. You can see it as a negative if you like, but that shows your mindset. The fact is, it is fewer job losses, I guess you'd have preferred the projection? Or would you rather just go through the world with your damned if you do, damned if you don't attitude? This country is screwed up because there are too many people like you who think it is screwed up.

  • Because the expectation was 100,000 jobs lost. Do you call that a decrease?

  • @luvs2teach00

    sounds like a good idea !

  • I thought the unemployment rate would stay the same. It is positive that people are losing less jobs. Real unemployment dropped .3% as well from 17.5% to 17.2%This is not something to be happy about. I believe that international markets will pull the U.S. to a recovery. I agree that small businesses need more capital and a cut in payroll taxes to give them an incentive to hire or lay off less workers. Regs on small banks need to be lifted and I think this will get bipartisan support.

  • The US government needs to stop intervening in economical affairs because they do not have the authority to make decisions for a capitalist system founded on a laissez-faire attitude. Stimulus plans do not create jobs, people create jobs, that is how a free-market works. Why is a government trillions of dollars in debt providing money to multi-national corporations who have more resources than them? The loyalty and interests of the US government is not with the American people.
