Unemployment rises to almost ten percent

It seems we’re at 9.8 percent unemployment.

Or, put differently, we lost over a quarter-million jobs last month.

If you’re having a tough time, you’re not alone. From the people I talk to in my office, many more are being forced to take pay cuts or even furloughs.

Hang in there.

UPDATE: Because many people are taking early retirement or disability, it seems the numbers are worse than initially reported.
