Has anyone seen any stats on private sector jobs? The UE rate seems to be holding steady in the 10-11% range, but that is with the creation of a large number of public sector jobs (government employees). Those jobs are only paid for by tax dollars and I suspect skew the real numbers, understating how bad things really are. Private sector jobs may actually create the wealth necessary to pay for the public sector.

Honestly, I know 1 unemployed person, out of my entire friends and family network.
That'd be my sister, and she doesn't want to work.
Democrats are a bunch of two-faced hypocrites who only defend certain positions and stand up for certain groups of people.
-Blame Bush for all the deaths and tragedies in Iraq and calling him a warmonger, when presidents like Wilson, Truman, and LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson) got us into most of the wars during the 20th Century.
Democrats -Claim to be against corporations and hate big business, but many of them have their own, example John Kerry.
Democrats -Say they're not racists but grill black, Asian, and Hispanic people when they are part of the Republican party. example Condi Rice
being called "Aunt Jemima".)
go ahead yell, stomp your feet and try, just try to destroy this country. Its not going to happen.
Recession's job losses likely to rise by nearly 1 million - Yahoo! Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Recessions-job-losses-likely-cnnm-1998556151.html?x=0 - broken link)
In Which It Is Revealed that this covers the time "since the economic downturn began in December 2007".
"The government's current readings show that 4.8 million jobs were lost in those twelve months [March 2008-2009], more than twice the jobs lost during any comparable April-March period going back to 1939, when the numbers first started to be compiled."
The job losses that followed were just the snowball continuing to roll.

A few of my cousins and a aunt are struggling in upstate NY. My friend in Miami lost a body shop job at a dealer, he was making probably 80 to 90k a year, now he travels a hour one way to make maybe 40k.
My friend in North port Fl was doing hurricane shutters , he is now unemployed. My friend in Sebring Fl is about to loose his job as a jewelry salesman, his company is about to belly up.
Another friend of mine, his wife just lost her job.
Yeah, I know a few people not doing good or as good as they once were. I don't see 2010 as being the great turn around either, hopefully it doesn't keep getting worse, like if I lost my job.
Guess what, the shoe fits...................Much larger, It's Obama's fault, and this is the realty of his presidency, no more excuses!
