28. 9.1 million unemployed, heh?
wellllll, as of today AWOL has had his butt planted in the oval orafice for about 943 days

soooo, if we take 9.1 million and divide it by 943 days - we get
9,650 people laid off per day

Listened to talking heads last night - the blather is that the economy is picking up, but that JOBS will be the last to recover...

The question now is WILL JOBS RECOVER IN SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN NOVEMBER 2004 IN ORDER TO SAVE AWOL'S BUTT?

AWOL returns to DC in a week or so, get ready for a tune being played on the war drums and the market getting war jitters again. Not much in the news lately about North Korea, Iraq or Syria, but then you don't roll out a new product in the summer time....heh?

Unemployment numbers will probably go up in September, all those summer jobs ending - or so goes the excuse

What's your local classified looking like these days? I regularlly check two of our local papers...Employment sections were 3-4 pages long, now they barely cover 1 page and majority of jobs are at minimum wage of the flipping burgers or telemarketing kind...


Will you survive the Bush Recovery?
