The unemployment figures are supposed to be out later this week. What are your predictions what they will be?

I personally think it will hit between 8.5-9%

What do y'all think?

That's only the number on Unemployment....the real number of unemployed is about double that.

2,000,000 in three months....should be a bumper crop of unemployed people this year.

I believe the predictions are for things to get worse as well...

Happy days are here again.....
