If this continues things are going to get really ugly. How they can cut people off the UI rolls who have been on it for almost 2 years now and expect things to get better is beyond me. So soon no one will be once again hiring, not like they were anyways but at least there was a few, now there will be another hiring freeze across the board for yet another year.

Well the "unexpected" part is getting to be a joke. It's nearing 500k and 2009 levels again - that might get the pols' attention...

couldn't agree more...if the so-called economists really find the number "unexpected", we're in even bigger trouble on a whole different level...these so-called "experts" are
involved in determining policy

If you're waiting for businesses to start spending their cash on workers they don't need, I wouldn't hold my breath...

FYI. You can only read the first paragraph of the article and then are directed to a page offering to let you read the rest of it if you subscribe to the WSJ.
