I bet the underemployment numbers are pretty bad too. I know more people that are underemployed than unemployed.

If you have still have a job, it would probably be a good time to invest in stocks owned by Uhaul, Penski or any of the other rental truck companies.

Its becoming increasingly apparent that the stimulus money will be timed to hit the market right around the 2010 election. Another reason to vote out Chicago-style politics in 2012.

I thought the Stimulas package was supposed to stimulate the ecconomy?
I seem to recall "we need this now".
"To be used for shovel ready projects."

Most of the money is on the back burner and will not be used until next year and/or the year after.

I guess they redefined "stimulus" and "kick start" to be a 2 year thing.
