Improvement for 21 months - Slow but sure
[ In Reply To ..]Do you think Obama's policies had anything to do with the improvement? I do.
I'm sorry but I don't. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]My husband runs a business and he still refuses to hire any new employees. He works a lot of hours to make up for the positions he has had to cut. If he hires more people, he can't at least break even and it is pretty sad when you hope and pray to at least break even as a business man.
Same here. - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]Hubby had to cut people and now, like your husband, has to work a lot of hours to make up for it, but he just can't afford to keep anyone else on - hasn't had a new account since early last year. Just not seeing the improvements.
same here. no improvements.. and those numbers - dont show all those who just GAVE up!.nm

The economy has improved in many areas. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Just because business is bad in one area of the country does not mean it is bad everywhere.
Perhaps you should consider that - Give me a break
[ In Reply To ..]some parts of the country were hit harder than others and that maybe my husband's business is hurting because the small town it resides in has had several factories close in that area over the last couple of years which has hurt that community significantly to where no one is buying. Not to mention the high gas prices are significantly hurting his business as well.
But keep on tooting your own horn if it makes you feel better. ;)
See, that's just mean and there's really no reason for it. - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]No one said they were failing, just not able to get back to where we were before things got bad - nothing to do with business practices, just that everyone's watching thier money right now. I don't see that there's any cause for such a mean comment - I'm glad your area is doing well and hope that continues, but is it asking too much to have a little sympathy for those who aren't doing so well?
Nevermind this comment... - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]Apparently the post I was replying to was deleted :)

Why Did The Unemployment Rate Drop?Dec 02, 2011
I think the most encouraging part of this report is in the last paragraph. The U.S. added 120,000 jobs in November, but the unemployment rate posted a huge drop to 8.6% from 9% and a broader unemployment rate fell even more to 15.6% from 16.2%. Why? The number of jobs added comes from a survey of establishment payrolls. The unemployment rate comes from a separate survey of U.S. households. The household survey is much smaller than the establishment survey, and as a result it can swing around a ...
