People are hiring like crazy all over the place (at least around where I live). A friend of mine who was out of work for 8 months just got a great job with Southwest Airlines. My boss just hired someone, my husband's company gave out HUGE bonuses and is hiring. Things are starting to look up employment wise.

days of 5-6% unemployment are gone.
and I dont think they are going to return anytime in the near future.
near future= 5 years
the economy is slowing growing which is a good thing, however I think people have a false expectations that jobs will return as fast they where lost.

Unemployment figures are constantly fudged and recalculated based on inconsistently applied rules from administration to administration, year to year, quarter to quarter. Look around you. Some of you are seeing hiring, some of you are seeing no change. Some of you are seeing more layoffs. Personally I am seeing more layoffs in my region.

I think they've hired around 200 where I work since the beginning of the year and we're getting more every week. (I think we normally had 75-100 per shift, probably 100-125 or so now) But, they are closing one of the plants in another state and we're getting all their stuff. So the jobs weren't 'created,' they just moved.
I think the people running out of unemployment is what is dropping the numbers more than anything.

Hey Norm, you hear about the studies being done at Johns Hopkins about the Y chromosome of persistent bar troublemakers?
Yeah, they found a striking similarity between that and chronic droolers and idiots.

Lots of two income homes have been forced to learn to live on one income now.
I have a few friends who are in this situation.
One person still has a good job while the other works part time or not at all.

My company has hired 10 people so far this year... and we're a small business.
/shrug
We hired someone new too and I think once they get more space they are going to hire someone else, but not sure. We are small though ~15 people. So hiring one or 2 is a lot. My clients keep coming in with news that they are working. I definitely feel the unemployment is going down.

Unemployment CLAIMS are down, because their benefits are running out.
It's all spin to make it sound like the Great Black Hope is actually doing something other than bending the country over and fraking it into oblivion.
And the morons of this country are buying into it...hook, line, and dumbass.

If unemployment was really going away, people would not be so down about the economy or the government .... the people know they are being lied to ..
ITT: BT draws a correlation between employment and being happy. You do realize there are people who are employed and unhappy about the Government and economy, right? Like.... you.
